About Try Adventure

Personal & unique experience

Try Adventure is a small family run company based on the south coast of Iceland.

The founder, Hilmar Tryggvi Finnsson, spent his childhood exploring the untouched nature with his family and grandfather, Tryggvi. Together, they traveled to unique places, discovering Iceland as only locals can.

Tryggvi instilled a passion for the Icelandic nature and adventure in his grandson.

Today, Hilmar continues the legacy of Tryggvi with

Try Adventure.

Our mission is to share the parts of Iceland we love the most. Experience the untouched Icelandic countryside like a local.

We will take you off the beaten path and show you this island

we are fortunate enough to call home.


Why

" Try Adventure" ?

Try Adventure was originally founded in 1980 by Hilmar's grandfather Tryggvi. Back then Tryggvi worked as a excavating contractor and managed his own company "Tryggvi Ingólfsson ehf".

Tryggvi ran the company until he had an accident in 2006 that left him paralized from neck down, a fatal injury that he fought until 2021 when he sadly passed away.

Hilmar took over the company in 2022 after the Covid pandemic claimed his job in 2020 as a lead guide for a well established local company in Hvolsvöllur.

It was his dream to get back on the horse but this time on his own.

"Try" was Hilmar's way of keeping a part of the companies original name

" Tryggvi Ingólfsson ehf" and his grandfathers memory.
