Description
Head off-road into the Highlands of Iceland on this private super jeep tour to Landmannalaugar and Hekla Volcano from Reykjavik. This tour suits travelers looking for an experience away from the crowds.
Your private tour begins when your English-speaking guide picks you up from your hotel in the Reykjavik area and tells you about the places you visit during the day.
In a spacious super jeep, your private group heads into the varied terrain of the Icelandic Highlands. Super jeeps and monster trucks have large tires and special suspension made for off-road driving.
The remote Highlands are known for their mountains, volcanoes, and other geological formations that few travelers explore. Glacial rivers and geothermal areas dot the region.
One of the highlights of your tour is a close-up view of Hekla Volcano. This stratovolcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland, which earned it the nickname "Gateway to Hell" centuries ago.
Hekla Volcano rises to 4,892 feet (1,491 meters), and its snowcapped peak can be seen from far away on a clear day.
Also on the route is Hjalparfoss Waterfall, a pair of waterfalls where two rivers, the Fossa River and the Thjorsa River, meet.
From here, the journey takes you to the Landmannalaugar area. As you explore Landmannalaugar by super jeep, you see colorful rhyolite mountains in shades of pink, green, and red.
Apart from its mountains, Landmannalaugar in Fjallabak Nature Reserve is known for its geothermal activity, and you can bathe in its hot spring.
Near Landmannalaugar are two remote lakes, Ljotipollur Lake and Frostastadavatn Lake, where you have plenty of time to stop for sightseeing and photos.
Ljotipollur Lake is a crater lake with cobalt-blue water surrounded by rugged lava fields. The area around Frostastadavatn Lake has a lake, lava fields partly covered with moss, and black sands.
After a day of exploring the Highlands, you return to your hotel in Reykjavik.
