Traveler ReviewsFantastic hike with great people.

Loved the scenery, the guide, the group. The hike itself was beautiful - through a valley near the Golden Circle. You pass hot spring after hot spring, It almost seems like the world around you is boiling and you're a simple Macaroni. But a Macaroni with a bunch of fun people who bond super-quickly thanks to the two charismatic guides (and a little Brinivan). Do it!
Amazing scenery, fabulous hot springs and wonderful guides.

We did the White Night tour in July 2010 and it was the highlight of our stay in Iceland. The group was small and friendly and the guides were not only knowledgeable, but extremely passionate about their job - the tour, the environment and the Icelandic culture. We sat, late in the night, in a thermal pool with glasses if wine, and then enjoyed traditional Icelandic food whilst Jonas and Ymir entertained us with stories and information.
Bring a rain coat (and water proof trousers if you have them), a camera and bathers of course! It's great that it's a night tour, as you get to make the most of the never-ending (almost) daylight! The guides will give you lots of great tips for things to see and do during your stay as well, so make sure you ask. The White Night tour is now one of my fondest travel memories.
very different and great fun

We did the hike a couple of days ago, the two guys that run it are undeniably cool, the terrain fantastic and the whole experience unforgettable. Sipping (cheap, bring your own if you're discerning!) red wine in a hot stream chatting to folk from wherever is quite an experience. We were nicely fed too, excellent lobster bisque heated in a kettle over a camp fire, fish pieces and good sandwiches. The hike back ended in near darkness but everyone was happy. Safety was good too with Jonas always last man. Strongly recommend this to anyone able to walk.

he hike was a 6 KM point to point hike. Doing a point to point hike is so enjoyable compared to an out and back as you always see new sites rather then retracing your steps. We completed the hike at 1:30 AM and returned to our hotel at 2:20 AM. It was still light out and was as dark as it was going to get as the sun was starting to rise. I would HIGHLY recommend this hike for a true appreciation of the Icelandic landscape, the midnight sun, and a very nice dinner with an unbelievable atmosphere.

You HAVE to do this! Perhaps the best part of an 18 day trip to Iceland!

Since the White Night Hike has been so well described by all the other positive reviews here - I won't try to improve upon what has already been written...
Instead, I'm just going to say:
DO IT!!!
DO IT!!!
It was perhaps the most memorable and unique thing I did on my entire 18 day free-form adventure around Iceland. There's absolutely nothing I could say to even describe how cool this hike is. I hate to even call it a hike, because "hike" isn't a cool enough way to describe it. This was a phenomenal outing. Amazing!
Don't let yourself leave Iceland without doing the White Night Hike from Jonas and the MyReykjavik crew!!
