What Laugavegur actually costs.

The published price is not what you will spend. Every operator below gets the same treatment: their price, plus what the package leaves out, next to its source.

In short: Laugavegur costs from $2,143 to $5,355 per person all-in across the 14 operators we compare, with items an operator does not mention counted as extra. Package prices as published start from $1,238, for two people sharing a room. Prices were read from the operators' own pages, the newest on 2026-09-24.

Build your own budget with one operator ›

All-in is the package price plus everything the package leaves out, per person, two travelling together.

What all-in includes

All-in is the package price plus what the package leaves out (flights, meals, hotel, porter, gear) plus what nobody includes (tips, insurance, visa, water and Wi-Fi). Per person, two people travelling together, twin share. International flights are not counted.

When an operator's page does not say whether something is included, we show a range: the lower figure assumes it is in the price, the upper figure adds it. 2 of 14 operators here leave at least one item unstated, worth up to $177. The list is sorted by the upper figure, so that nobody looks cheaper by saying less. You can change that under More sorting.

The bar under each price: package left out not stated

Your budget

Pick an operator, then make it yours: how you travel, how much you spend on the trail, what you need to rent. Everything the operator leaves out is already in, and the result is per person.

Your gear
Tick what you already own. The rest is counted at what it costs to rent there.

What is actually in a price

These are the costs that decide whether a $1,300 package ends up cheaper than a $1,800 one. Figures are what we add when an operator does not include the item.

Highland bus Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar and back from Þórsmörk
$177 per trip
Reykjavik Excursions' Highland Bus (Icelandia) lists fares from ISK 10,999 Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar and ISK 10,499 Þórsmörk to Reykjavik one way (EUR 80 and 76 on the page), ISK 21,498 together; the page does not say which passenger type the from-fare is. Trex charges ISK 15,900 each way or 29,900 for its Hikers Bus Pass (27,900 on its Landmannalaugar page, about USD 247); Iceland Highlights sells adult one-way seats from ISK 12,220. Skógar to Reykjavik is from EUR 65 with Reykjavik Excursions. source
Hotel in Reykjavik, twin share
$124 per night
Arctic Adventures' summer 2026 check (updated 2026-07-15) for two adults sharing a central room: cheaper hotels ISK 17,389-30,266 a night, guesthouses 17,948-52,246, 4-star from 30,373. Figure is ISK 30,000 a room, 15,000 each. Islandspezialisten sells extra guesthouse nights at EUR 155 a person in a twin with shared bathroom and breakfast (about USD 177); Allibert quotes Reykjavik guesthouses at EUR 60-245 a person. source
Flybus Keflavik airport to Reykjavik BSÍ and back
$66 per trip
Flybus adult fare ISK 3,999 each way between Keflavik and the BSÍ terminal (5,299 with the hotel leg), 7,998 both ways; return bookings get an automatic discount the price list does not quantify. Intrepid and Wildland include a Flybus voucher. source
Luggage transfer between huts, own bag
$248 per trip
Southcoast Adventure carries independent hikers' bags hut to hut (Hella, then Álftavatn, Emstrur and Þórsmörk) and Iceland Highlights sells a similar Gear Express; neither page shows a price. The Travel Bug (2026-05-21) gives ISK 10,000 a day, so the three legs are ISK 30,000; Laugavegur Trail Guide quotes an older ISK 12,000 a leg. Operators' own add-ons: The Iceland Trail EUR 165 a person, Islandspezialisten EUR 442 a person. Neither reaches Hrafntinnusker, so a first night there is carried anyway. source
All meals on the trail, carried
$69 per trek day
The FÍ huts serve no cooked meals (their shops sell snacks, soups and dried meals, prices not published), so self-guided hikers carry their own. Figure is a Real Turmat breakfast pouch (ISK 2,195 at the outdoor shop Everest), a dinner pouch (2,995) and a Volcano Huts lunch pack (3,200), ISK 8,390 a day. The Iceland Trail's own food pack is cheaper at EUR 119 for six days; eating all three meals at the Volcano Huts restaurant costs ISK 11,900 a day. source
Lunch and dinner on the trail
$51 per trek day
Volcano Huts lunch pack ISK 3,200 plus a Real Turmat dinner pouch ISK 2,995 (Everest outdoor shop), for a package that includes breakfast only. source
Sleeping bag rental
$59 per trip
Iceland Camping Equipment in Reykjavik rents a synthetic sleeping bag with liner for EUR 52 for 5 days and 4 nights; the figure assumes collecting it the day before the 07:00 bus. Operators' own prices: Arctic Adventures ISK 4,500 for its 4-day tour, The Iceland Trail EUR 25, Walkers' Britain GBP 60 with liner; IMG, KE and 10Adventures rent without a printed price. The huts provide mattresses but no bedding. source
Tip for the guide, guided treks only
$5 per trek day
Tipping is not customary in Iceland: Arctic Adventures, which runs a Laugavegur trek itself, says a tip is not expected and, for a guide who really made an effort, need not exceed USD 20. Figure spreads 20 over a 4-day trek. The US operators ask more of their own clients: Wildland suggests 5-10% of the trip price, Intrepid 5-10% of the trip cost per day for the leader; KE and Much Better Adventures give no figure. source
Travel insurance with hiking cover
$67 per trip
The Iceland Trail sells travel insurance for its Laugavegur week at EUR 59 a person, with cancellation cover EUR 69 more. Allibert's multirisk policy is 4.45% of the trip price (about EUR 90 on a EUR 2,000 trek). US buyers pay more: Squaremouth's average Iceland policy is USD 403 for a 12-day trip, for travellers with about USD 8,900 of prepaid costs. FÍ does not insure hut guests and urges travel insurance; Wildland recommends at least USD 200,000 of evacuation and repatriation cover. source
Hut showers, snacks and drinks
$17 per trek day
FÍ charges ISK 1,100 a shower (800 for members) at every Laugavegur hut except Hrafntinnusker; the hut shops sell chocolate, soups, dried meals, soft drinks and Pilsner without a published price list, and a TMBtent trip report (undated) paid ISK 900 for a beer and 1,000 for crisps. Figure is one shower and one snack or drink a day, ISK 2,100. Tap water is free; there is no electricity for charging, and power banks are sold at the huts. source
FÍ hut bed on the Laugavegur, non-member
$140 per night
FÍ 2026 price list (1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027): ISK 17,000 a night at Landmannalaugar, Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil, Emstrur, Þórsmörk Langidalur and Baldvinsskáli, ISK 8,500 for members (about USD 70); lodging tax included. The 2027 list raises the general rate to ISK 18,000. Every package read books the huts, so this is a reference line, not counted. source
FÍ campsite pitch, per person, non-member
$28 per night
FÍ 2026: ISK 3,400 a person a night at the hut campsites (1,700 for members); ISK 3,600 in 2027. FÍ asks campers to book ahead. Reference for camping versions, not counted. source
Ferðafélag Íslands membership, one year
$82 per trip
ISK 9,900 for 2026. Members pay half the hut and camping rate, and FÍ's booking terms extend the discount to a spouse and children under 18 travelling with the member, so a couple on four hut nights saves ISK 68,000 for 9,900; the fee must be paid before the hut booking. Reference for self-bookers, not counted. source
Three meals at the Volcano Huts restaurant
$98
Volcano Huts in Þórsmörk: breakfast buffet ISK 3,200, lunch pack 3,200, dinner buffet 5,500. Its small Álftavatn restaurant serves a soup lunch and a dish of the day without printed prices. Reference, not counted. source
Tent rental in Reykjavik, shared by two
$50 per trip
Iceland Camping Equipment: 3-person tent EUR 88 for 5 days and 4 nights, EUR 44 each for two. The Iceland Trail rents a 2-person tent for EUR 60. Only for camping versions; reference, not counted. source
Trekking pole rental
$29 per trip
Arctic Adventures ISK 3,500 for its 4-day tour, Walkers' Britain GBP 25, The Iceland Trail EUR 12. Arctic says poles help on river crossings but are not necessary. Optional, not counted. source
Bag sent by bus to Þórsmörk
$17 per trip
Reykjavik Excursions carries one bag of up to 10 kg plus a sleeping bag to Húsadalur, Langidalur or Básar for ISK 2,000 an item; Trex carries packages to Básar and Langidalur free with a ticket. Useful for clean clothes at the finish; optional, not counted. source
Iceland visa: not needed for Norwegian and EU citizens
$0 per trip
Iceland is in Schengen and the EEA; island.is says EEA/EFTA citizens need only a valid travel document or an ID card accepted for border crossing, and the visa condition applies to non-EEA/EFTA citizens only. Norway's embassy in Reykjavik recommends travelling with a valid passport even between Nordic countries. No cost; reference. source

How we count

Package price is the operator's regular published price per person for two people sharing a room, taken from the operator's own website on the date shown. Where the operator publishes group-size tiers we use the tier for two. Sale prices are noted but the regular price is used.

Left-out cost is what you still pay after booking. If an item is not in the package we add the reference figure above. If the operator's page does not say, we show a range: the lower figure leaves the item out, the upper figure adds it, and the list is sorted by the upper figure. Tips, insurance, visa and daily extras are added for everyone because no package covers them.

Currencies. Operators publish in USD, GBP or EUR; we convert to your chosen currency at daily mid-market rates. Prices are "from" prices and change with season, group size and exchange rates. Check the operator's page before you book.

Independence. No operator has paid to be listed and there are no affiliate links on this page. If that changes, it will say so here. Terms.
