Frequently Asked Questions
What does pricing based on shared room mean? Who all are sharing the room?
Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Should you like your own room, you can request the single supplement at an additional cost.
How much hiking time is there each day?
Please find attached the tour notes document which details the itinerary and lists the kms and amount of hours spent hiking per day.
Can you tell me the length and elevation gains for each of the hikes listed for this tour?
Here is a list of the elevation gain for each: Day 1: - Skógafoss: The hike involves a significant incline as you ascend alongside the waterfall. The elevation change is rapid but the trail is well-maintained with steps. - Kvernufoss: A more moderate hike with a gradual incline, easier to manage for someone needing to pace themselves. Day 2: - Skaftafell Glacier Wonders: The hike has a moderate incline as you approach the glacier. It's relatively gentle and offers plenty of opportunities to pause and take in the scenery. It requires some strength and good shape. - Svartifoss and Sjóarnírpa: This hike involves some steep sections, especially near the waterfall. The trail has gradual inclines that might require careful attention for someone recovering from an injury. Day 3: - Múlagljúfur Canyon: This is a 5 km hike with variable terrain, including some moderate inclines and declines. The elevation changes are gradual, but the trail might be uneven at points. Day 4: - Fjarðarárgljúfur: The hike is relatively short with mild elevation changes, making it one of the more manageable options. - Mt. Laki: This is a challenging hike with significant elevation changes. The trail is steep and may pose a challenge for someone with tendon concerns. - Tjarnargrígur: A moderate hike with some elevation changes but nothing too strenuous. Day 5: - Eldgjá to Ófærufoss: This hike includes some gentle inclines and declines over a longer distance. - Landmannalaugar to Brennisteinsalda: This hike has some steep sections and uneven terrain. It's known for its elevation changes but also for its scenic beauty which offers multiple points to rest.

Would I be able to arrange transportation to the hotel on Friday the 27th through G Adventures, or need to pay for that myself?
