Visit the spectacular Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve of the Icelandic Highlands on your own terms with this easy and convenient roundtrip transfer service from Reykjavik. Hikers, photographers, hot spring bathers, and travelers seeking to explore independently should not hesitate to book their seats!
This experience begins when you catch your bus in Reykjavik, which will pick you up from a spot close to your accommodation in the morning. Once you've boarded the bus and got comfortable, you can enjoy a spectacular ride to Kerlingarfjoll.
After leaving the city, you'll pass through the beautiful sites of Southwest Iceland. Depending on the conditions of the day, you'll either travel there via Thingvellir National Park, a beautiful valley between two tectonic plates, or Hveragerdi, a town famous for its many hot springs.
Regardless, you'll get views of rolling countryside, dramatic mountains, charming villages, and steaming geothermal areas. You'll then turn onto the Kjolur highland road, and the landscapes around you will become more stark and dramatic as you travel deeper into Iceland's interior.
This region is steeped in folklore and history, with tales of bandits and supernatural beings originating from here.
If the weather is clear, you may also see some of Iceland's glaciers, including Langjokull and Hofsjokull.
Once you arrive at the Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve after roughly three hours, what you do is up to you. This breathtaking region appeals to all Icelandic travelers, and you'll find something to enjoy regardless of your interests.
Hikers, for example, could take one of the many trails through the area. These routes provide diverse views of the Kerlingarfjoll volcano, the surrounding mountains, geothermal springs, and barren landscapes.
Of course, you'll need to stay on the trails and be back in time for your departure.
Alternatively, you could find some particularly quiet areas with incredible views to relax with a picnic or enjoy some of the world's most exciting landscape photography.
Most universally appealing, however, are the hot spring bathing opportunities at Kerlingarfjoll. Here, you can bathe in natural geothermal pools surrounded by uniquely spectacular nature.
Iceland's hot springs have healing properties and are a fantastic way to unwind during an action-packed holiday. Bring a swimsuit and towel, as there are no facilities to rent on-site.
In the evening, it's time to board the bus and return to Reykjavik. Relax, enjoy the views, and look over your photos from this unforgettable experience. En route to the city, you'll see the Icelandic Highlands and Southwest Iceland in a different light.
Experience the Icelandic Highlands on your own terms with this convenient transfer to the breathtaking Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve. Check availability now by choosing a date.
