Love Trails Road Trip Iceland

Pick up your campervan and hit the road. Our first camp site is about 2h drive away but there's plenty to explore on the way.It's also a good idea to stock up on some food and drinks for the van. This evening you'll be running to the Reykjadalur Hot Spring River. This is about 5k run into a valley that ends in a hot spring! You bathe & soak, and then run or walk back to your van. Join us for this group run, or if you're getting into Iceland too late on the Friday, you can also do this run to hot spings on your own.

We explore the south coast and all its waterfalls. You'll experience a smörgåsbord of amazing nature. They'll be a guided trail run to the famous Solheimasandur Plane Wreck to join if you want to, otherwise you are free to explore on your own. End the day in Vik on the famous black beach or perhaps go for a tandem paraglide flight in the sunset?

We continue east into Vatnajökull natural park and the glacier territory. You can join us for a 12.5km trail run. Or you could take a glacier hike. It's an incredible experience walking on the ice, seeing the ice falls and climbing through cracks! This will be a morning run just after you wake up. After our trail running adventure there's an amazing natural pool in front of a waterfall to swim in!

Wake up in a remote camp site after a night around the bonfire. Join us for a trail run from the campsite, to Svartifoss waterfall and Sjónarnípa glacier viewpoint, or you could just chill in the hot springs in Hoffel, or both! We might also visit Stokknes, a beautiful black beach. Optionally, join us for a lobster dinner* in Höfn, the lobster capital of Iceland.

*vegetarian & vegan alternatives available 

Hvannagil is a colorful rhyolite canyon located in the eastern part of the country with some spectacular rock formations. We camp in Seydisfjördur, the most picturesque fjord of Iceland. 

We'll park up and then run along the river all the way to the canyon! Bring swimwear if you want to swim in Stuðlagil Canyon and then run back to the car.

We are making our way back towards Reykjavik. Today we have many trail running options... The Love Trails team will lead you on a run to the perimeter of Hverfjall volcano. Another option, if you want a longer run today, is to run along the Dettifoss river. There's a famous trail run there but it's a one way, so you have to run along the river bank and then turn around and come back. It's absolutely epic!

Halfway back to Reykjavik there is a short run to a hot spring called Fosslaug. You'll also pass the Reykjafoss waterfall. Get your van back just in time, and then it's time to fly onwards or back home!
