Unforgettable 10 Hour Landmannalaugar Highland Hike and Hot Spring Tour From Selfoss

Embark on a fantastic hot spring and Highland adventure by embarking on this trip to Landmannalaugar from Hella. Any staying in or traveling through south Iceland looking for a journey amongst some of the country’s most awe-inspiring wilderness should make sure to arrange this experience.

This tour begins when you meet your friendly guide and fellow travelers in the small town of Hella in south Iceland. Many will stay or pass through here if taking a Ring Road or South Coast holiday due to its convenient location between the Golden Circle and Seljalandsfoss waterfall. You’ll then board your comfortable, modern vehicle - which is equipped to traverse the Highlands - and set off.

Your journey will first take you through some pleasant countryside before reaching the country’s interior; the landscapes will quickly become more dramatic, with glacier views, enormous mountains, and craters. As you move onto the Highland roads, the trip will become much more adventurous, as you cross rivers and take off-route trails. 

Once you arrive, your guide will lead you on a spectacular two-hour hike into the gorgeous landscapes of Landmannalaugar. Colorful rhyolite mountains, seething geothermal areas, and volcanoes such as Brennisteinsalda will make this trip unforgettable, and your pace will be comfortable enough for you to take a wealth of photos without falling behind.

As you walk, your guide will tell you about the incredible natural forces that created this area, as well as some tales regarding the local folklore.

After this trek, you’ll find yourself at the hot spring bathing area; make sure you remember your swimsuit and towel, as the waters here are fantastic to unwind in after such a thrilling adventure. 

Once you have fully revitalized, surrounded by incredible natural wonder, you’ll return to your vehicle to be driven back to Hella. En route, you will make one more stop to witness the vast crater of Hnausapollur.
