Your day begins with a hassle-free pick-up in Reykjavik, where your guide welcomes you into a premium 4x4 vehicle. The drive into the Icelandic Highlands feels like an adventure of its own. As the paved roads fade into rugged tracks, the city gives way to open skies, glacier views, and untouched wilderness.
The destination is Kerlingarfjoll, a remote mountain range between the Hofsjokull and Langjokull Glaciers. Known for its colorful rhyolite peaks and steaming geothermal valleys, this area is one of Iceland’s most striking natural wonders. Few travelers make it this far, making it a perfect place to experience peace and solitude surrounded by raw nature.
Once you arrive, you will step into one of Iceland’s most striking geothermal landscapes. Warm ground, rising steam, and bubbling hot springs surround you as you explore the area, while fumaroles hiss and colorful rhyolite slopes glow in shades of red, orange, and yellow that change with the light.
Your guide will tailor the hike to your pace. Travelers looking for a gentle walk can follow short trails that reveal panoramic views. At the same time, more active hikers may venture deeper into the valleys for closer encounters with the geothermal features.
Throughout your visit, your experience is captured with professional Leica photos, giving you stunning images to take home.
Midday offers a break at the Kerlingarfjoll Hotel, where you can purchase a meal and rest while surrounded by highland scenery. This is also where travelers often take time to reflect on the unique setting, which has been protected as a nature reserve since 2017.
As the day winds down, you begin the return journey to Reykjavik. On the way, you will stop at a carefully chosen restaurant for dinner at your own expense. A warm meal and cozy atmosphere make for a comfortable close to the day.
The drive back gives you time to relax and enjoy the evening light across Iceland’s interior, with memories of one of the country’s most extraordinary geothermal landscapes.
