Safety is of paramount importance to Midgard Adventure and we pride ourselves in our attention to detail regarding safety on all our tours and of the knowledge, experience and expertise of our guides and staff members. We do however strongly advise that all passengers have in place their own adequate travel insurance against issues such as illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings, and not being able to travel on the confirmed departure date.

Midgard Adventure is located in south Iceland in a small town called Hvolsvöllur. Midgard is only a two hour drive from Keflavík International Airport and just over an hour from the capital city of Reykjavík. Click here for our location on google maps. Midgard is very easily reached by driving just a few metres off the “1” ring road (so no need for any rough gravel track driving!).

Click here to see the way from Reykjavík to Midgard Adventure. You basically follow Suðurlandsvegur (route 1) all the way to Hvolsvöllur. When you enter Hvolsvöllur you continue driving the main road (route 1), you pass the gas station and continue until you see Midgard Adventure sign on your left side. Drive Duftþaksbraut all the way to the end and you will see our location.
