Katlatrack is a locally owned adventure company based in South Iceland, established in 2009 by a local from the area, with the aim of delivering authentic, safe, and unforgettable experiences in one of Iceland’s most powerful and diverse natural regions.
This local expertise ensures that every tour is guided with insight, responsibility, and a genuine respect for nature. You can find private tours or open tours, up to 12 people per group.
Katlatrack’s operations focus primarily on the area surrounding Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the legendary Katla volcano, one of Iceland’s most powerful and active volcanoes. This dramatic environment of glaciers, black sand deserts, volcanic terrain, and highland valleys provides the setting for a wide range of adventure tours designed for small groups, families, and private travelers.
