Here, you can hike through the Hveradalir Valley on well-marked trails, passing bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and mineral-rich mountains. Cross wooden bridges and steps as your guide explains how geothermal activity shapes this otherworldly landscape, adding depth to the formations you see.
The trails are beginner-friendly, ideal for families and travelers who prefer a relaxed hike through the Highlands. Your guide sets a comfortable pace for the group, with time to enjoy the scenery, stop for photos, and appreciate the area’s unique geology.
After the hike, you have the option to end your Highlands tour at the nearby Kerlingarfjoll Highland Baths. Soak in warm, mineral-rich water surrounded by mountains, enjoying peaceful relaxation after your adventure.
Please note that admission is not included, and you can add this activity upon booking.
