Description
Climb aboard a super jeep and embark on an unforgettable journey through some of the Icelandic Highlands' most spectacular and lesser-known locations by booking this incredible guided excursion. This tour takes you to the stunning craters of Lakagigar and Tjarnargigur, the breathtaking Fagrifoss waterfall, and the awe-inspiring Fjadrargljufur canyon.
Your adventure begins in the charming town of Kirkjubaejarklaustur, a historic and picturesque settlement in the south of Iceland.
You'll be picked up in a super jeep, a specially modified vehicle designed to handle the rugged terrain while ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience for a small group of up to twelve people.
This excursion is a small group tour, so you'll be able to get to know your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests. You'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
The first destination on your tour is the Laki craters, nestled in the shadow of Mount Laki. After arriving, you'll have the opportunity to hike for two and a half hours, exploring this fascinating volcanic landscape.
The hike to the summit of Laki offers incredible panoramic views, where you'll see the craters and lakes below, along with sweeping vistas of the Highlands.
If you're uncomfortable with the hike, don't worry—your guide can drive you to nearby hills that provide equally stunning viewpoints.
The next stop is the Tjarnargigur crater, a unique feature with a permanent lake. A viewing platform allows you to take in the remarkable sight, and from there, you'll embark on an hour-long hike through the surrounding lava fields.
This hike offers more opportunities to soak in the beauty of the Highlands, a landscape shaped by volcanic activity and time.
Next, you'll visit the hidden gem of Fagrifoss waterfall, which translates to "beautiful falls" in English. You'll have around half an hour to explore this scenic spot and capture its beauty in photographs.
The peaceful surroundings and the graceful flow of the falls make it a truly magical experience.
The final highlight of your tour is the Fjadrargljufur canyon, a majestic, ten-thousand-year-old gorge carved during the last Ice Age.
Walking along the canyon's higher trails, you'll be treated to stunning views of the deep azure river that winds through the canyon and the lush, green cliffs that rise dramatically on either side.
After visiting these extraordinary sites, you'll return to Kirkjubaejarklaustur with your camera full of excellent photos and unforgettable memories from the trip.
