Discover the stunning nature and geothermal activity of the Landmannalaugar hiking area in the southern Highlands of Iceland by booking this fantastic 10-hour excursion. Those eager to go off-roading in the countryside will love this full-day super jeep tour.
Your tour starts when your driver guide picks you up at your accommodation in Reykjavik. You'll meet the other guests on the excursion and climb aboard the super jeep, ready for adventure.
A super jeep is an off-road vehicle modified for extreme terrain and weather conditions. Typically larger and more rugged than standard SUVs, super jeeps are perfect for traveling in Iceland's rough terrain and icy conditions. Modifications can include oversized tires, heavy-duty suspension systems, and powerful engines. Equipped with reinforced frames and snorkel intakes, they can even ford rivers.
Super jeeps often offer spacious interiors with comfortable seating and climate control. It's the perfect vehicle to take you into the remote Highlands.
Landmannalaugar is a geothermal area within the Highlands. Surrounded by colorful rhyolite mountains, it's famous for its breathtaking landscapes and natural hot springs.
The geothermal activity in Landmannalaugar results in vibrant red, green, and yellow hues in the surrounding terrain, creating a surreal atmosphere. You can soak in warm, mineral-rich hot springs surrounded by magnificent scenery. Ensure you bring your swimsuit and a towel to go for a dip.
You'll also stop at the Hekla volcano. Often referred to as the "Gateway to Hell" in medieval times due to its frequent eruptions, it has a history of explosive eruptions dating back to the 12th century.
Next up is the Cobalt Blue Lake at Ljotipollur, named for its deep blue waters, intensified by minerals. The lake is the result of a volcanic eruption that occurred centuries ago. It's set within a dramatic red volcanic crater, creating a striking contrast of colors.
Another body of water on the itinerary today is the Frostastadavatn lake. Its name, "Frozen Place," reflects the icy, crystal-clear waters shimmering in the crisp mountain air. It's a peaceful and beautiful spot.
The last stop of the day is the Hjalparfoss waterfall. Its unique double cascade sets this waterfall apart. Two separate streams, Fossa and Thjorsa, converge and plunge over rugged basalt rock formations.
At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
