Description

Jump aboard an exhilarating off-road adventure in the Highlands of Iceland as you ride a 10-hour super jeep tour from Landmannalaugar to Hekla volcano. Adventurers searching for a unique experience away from tourist crowds will enjoy the itinerary of this private tour from Reykjavik.

Your Icelandic private tour will commence as you meet your experienced and English-speaking guide in Reykjavik. They will pick you up from your hotel in the capital area and brief you about the exciting attractions you’ll explore for the day.

On board a comfortable and spacious super jeep vehicle, your private group will venture into the diverse terrain of the Icelandic Highlands. The super jeep or a monster truck is perfect for your off-road adventure because of its massive tires and suspension system.

The remote region of the Highlands is known for its impressive mountains, volcanoes, and other geological formations that travelers rarely explore. Glacial rivers and geothermal areas dot the area, allowing you to see the best of the land of fire and ice.

One of the highlights of your private tour in Iceland is an up-close view of the magnificent Hekla volcano. The stratovolcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland, which is why it earned the nickname “Gateway to Hell” some centuries ago. 

With a height of 4,892 feet (1,491 meters), the Hekla volcano is a sight to behold. Its snowcapped peaks are visible even from afar on a clear or cloudless day. 

A thrilling hour’s drive north of the volcano is the breathtaking Hjalparfoss waterfall. The waterfall pair marks the meeting points of two mighty rivers, Fossa and Thjorsa.

From here, the journey takes you to the southern part of the region and straight to the Landmannalaugar area. While exploring Landmannalaugar in the comforts of the super jeep, you’ll marvel at the colorful rhyolite mountains dominating the vast site, with shades of pink, green, and red.

Apart from the spectacular mountains, Landmannalaugar in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve is famous for its geothermal activities. You shouldn’t miss hot spring bathing while visiting here, so bring a towel and swimwear for a fun experience.

In addition, two beautiful attractions await your private company on this super jeep tour. Near Landmannalaugar are the remote lakes of Ljotipollur and Frostastadavatn. You will have plenty of time to stop at these locations for sightseeing and photo opportunities.

Ljotipollur, a crater lake, features cobalt-blue waters surrounded by bizarre lava fields. Meanwhile, the Frostastadavatn area offers otherworldly landscapes, including a stunning lake, lava fields partly covered by moss, and an expanse of black sands.

After 10 hours of exploring the wilderness of the Highlands, the tour ends as you return to your hotel in Reykjavik.
