Explore Iceland’s remote highlands in the most thrilling yet convenient way on this private Landmannalaugar super jeep tour from Reykjavik. Venture beyond typical routes to reach waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, and colorful mountains that showcase the dramatic beauty of this extraordinary region with the expertise of an English or Spanish-speaking guide.
Designed for travelers seeking comfort and safety, this 11-hour adventure takes you across rugged F-roads, river crossings, and remote mountain tracks. This tour operates only in summer (June to October), when highland roads open and Landmannalaugar becomes safely accessible.
Your super jeep tour starts with a morning pickup in Reykjavik, where your English or Spanish-speaking guide welcomes you to a modified 4x4 built for the highlands. These modified vehicles offer excellent stability and oversized tires for a smooth journey through Iceland's challenging terrain.
Landmannalaugar rises from Iceland’s southern highlands in striking colors of red, gold, and green, framed by old lava and steaming earth. Standing here feels like entering a raw, unreal landscape shaped entirely by volcanic power.
While traveling through quiet southern farmlands, you’ll watch the dark outline of Hekla rise along the horizon. At the Hekla 2000 Lava Field Viewpoint, you can pause for photos and learn about the volcano’s powerful historic eruptions.
Then, you’ll reach Sigoldufoss Waterfall, where vivid blue water spills over dark basalt columns. This peaceful spot offers quiet moments for photos before heading deeper into the highlands.
From here, your journey leads into Landmannalaugar’s rhyolite mountains. You can take a short, easy Landmannalaugar hike to panoramic viewpoints. If you’d rather unwind, you can soak in the natural geothermal pools. Remember to bring swimwear so you can enjoy the soothing waters.
The tour then reaches Ljotipollur, a crater filled with deep blue water framed by steep red slopes. The day grows even more scenic at Frostastadavatn, a peaceful lake known for mirror-like reflections and rugged lava formations surrounding its shoreline.
As you head back toward the lowlands, you’ll stop in Thjorsardalur Valley to see Hjalparfoss. This twin waterfall is framed by lava formations and marks a gentle, scenic final stop before returning to Reykjavik.
Since this is a private experience, your guide tailors the day to your interests while sharing helpful local insights at each stop. Their familiarity with the highland routes helps the day run effortlessly, giving you time to enjoy the places that matter most to you.
