Hiking Activities and Tours
Hiking is a mountaineering activity that is concerned with walking on natural open ground. It can also be on dedicated trails or way-marked trails. This is a low technical impact activity, and more often that not the goal is to travel to a destination. This can be for a single day or multiple days.
With Black Ridge Mountaineering you may find that some of the tours incorporate a little bit of both, the main activity and some fantastic sights to see along the way. We don’t want to just rush through an area without seeing all it has to offer. We want your guests to have a rich experience and learn all there is to know about the land on which you are travelling.
When hiking in Iceland, you will need good clothing and proper rainwear, sturdy boots and a backpack, too .
Thakil

Thakil – one day hike
This area is a true gem of Iceland. It’s tucked away from the most popular sites of Iceland's South coast and hidden in the mountains about 30 minutes drive from the town of Vik í Mýrdals otherwise known simply as Vik.
This is a fantastic location to hike and learn about Icelandic nature. Hiking from the valley floor up onto the mountain and far as the upper glacier. The ever changing landscape and vast views that are all round you are just breath taking. This is an active day that is sure to please the hiker and nature lover.
