Amazing 12-Hour Highland Experience at Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve from Reykjavik

Explore the Icelandic Highlands and dip into geothermal water surrounded by incredible landscapes with this day tour to the Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve. Travelers eager to see Iceland's most dramatic landscapes and bathe in natural hot springs should not hesitate to book this tour.

This immersive experience begins with a morning pick-up in Reykjavik. Your driver-guide is a local expert who will tell you about the sites ahead and can answer any of your questions. Once your group is gathered, you'll set off to enjoy the beautiful Icelandic landscapes.

The journey will take you through grasslands, mountains, hot spring areas, and quaint villages before turning into the Highlands, where the terrain will become stark and dramatic. In clear weather, you'll have views of Langjokull glacier, the second-largest ice cap in the country.

Kerlingarfjoll is not just a nature reserve but a volcanic mountain, the most famous peak in a breathtaking range renowned for its geothermal activity and the unique colors in the rocks. Its main peak towers over the area at 4,846 feet (1,477 meters) above sea level.

Your guide will direct you to the area's best spots and allow you to explore independently to make the most of the breathtaking views.

This freedom allows you to tailor the tour to your group's preferences. You can relax in a beautiful spot and enjoy the views, seek out the best places for photography, or hike some of the trails.

Regardless of how you spend your day, you'll want to save some time for the geothermal pools, where you can bathe in warm water surrounded by spectacular nature. Natural hot spring bathing is a magical experience, and the panoramas through the misty air will be unforgettable.

Many also believe this activity provides therapeutic and health benefits.

Make sure to bring a swimsuit and towel, as there is nowhere to rent such equipment on-site.

This tour also includes a reservation at a restaurant in the Highlands, where you can enjoy a locally sourced, expertly prepared Icelandic lunch or dinner. After an exciting day of sightseeing and hot spring bathing, you'll likely have worked up quite an appetite! Please note that food items are not included in the tour price.

Once you've finished your meal, you'll return to your bus, and your guide will take you on the beautiful journey back to Reykjavik. Keep an eye out for more of Iceland's glaciers as you return.

You'll be dropped off at your meeting point back in the Icelandic capital.
