Description

Join an unforgettable 8-hour Super Jeep adventure through the kaleidoscopic hills of Landmannalaugar — one of Iceland’s most breathtaking and iconic highland destinations.

Nestled deep in the rugged Icelandic highlands, Landmannalaugar is celebrated for its colorful rhyolite mountains, bubbling geothermal springs, crystal-clear rivers, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. It’s a must-see highlight for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone chasing Iceland’s wildest beauty.

Travel in a fully equipped Super Jeep designed for challenging highland terrain, guided by passionate local experts who know these landscapes inside and out. With years of experience and a genuine love for Icelandic nature, your guide will share stories, geology, folklore, and hidden gems along the journey.

One of the most spectacular sights on this tour is Ljotipollur, a crater lake whose name translates to “Ugly Puddle”—a misleading title for one of the region’s most stunning viewpoints. With its turquoise water and steep red slopes, it is among the most photographed places in Landmannalaugar.

Once in the heart of the area, you can unwind in a natural hot spring surrounded by colorful mountains or take a short hike to explore the extraordinary landscape up close.

From here, the journey continues toward Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active and historically significant volcanoes. Your guide will drive you up its slopes, where you’ll experience panoramic views over lava fields, mountains, and distant glaciers—a truly unforgettable moment.

It is highly recommended that you bring with you on the trip warm outdoor clothing, a waterproof jacket, headwear, gloves, a swimsuit, and a packed lunch. It is also advised to bring suitable hiking boots, should you choose to explore the area on foot.

Book this and join us on this adventurous tour and witness the unbelievably faultless beauty of the highlands. Check availability now by choosing a date.

Tips from travelers

  • Bring swimwear and a towel

    Pack your swimming gear and a towel to enjoy the warm geothermal pool at the base camp.

  • Use caution on the ladder

    Grip the door handrails firmly when boarding and exiting, as the lifted super jeep uses a high folding ladder.

  • Bring all meals and drinks

    Pack enough food and water for the full day, as the remote highland route has nowhere to purchase refreshments.

  • Use the base camp facilities

    Save your picnic for the sheltered tables and changing huts at the camp instead of trying to eat inside the vehicle.

  • Track the mountain weather

    Highland conditions change quickly, so check the weather and road forecast on the morning of your trip.

  • Secure your camera while driving

    Keep your camera attached to a neck strap so you can safely shoot passing river crossings and volcanic scenery.

Head-wear and gloves
Good hiking boots/shoes
Swimming suit
Lunch, snacks and water

Good to know

Time at the highland base camp allows for either a hike along the volcanic slopes or a soak in the geothermal stream, but usually not both. Travelers explore the trails and thermal water on their own before meeting the vehicle at a designated time.

The route passes through rugged volcanic terrain and crosses unbridged rivers, creating a bumpy ride with occasional delays in mud or snow.

  • Informative driver commentary
  • Stops at volcanic crater lakes
  • Lava field hikes near Hekla
  • Views of colorful rhyolite mountains

Most common complaint: Travelers report that brief viewpoint stops along the highland tracks feel rushed. Stay close to the vehicle at intermediate scenic stops so you can take photos without falling behind.

We had a great time with Martin on our Super Jeep Tour.

Informative, entertaining, and by the end, we felt like we were touring with an old friend. Martin took great care of the whole group and was flexible to the needs of the individuals on the tour. We learnt a lot. He even stepped in to provide an impromptu Ranger guided walk as the official Ranger tour was not available.

Landscape is amazing. And a dip in the Geothermal Pool after summing the Brennisteinsalda is well worth it. Bring your swimmers.

An AMAZING trip, and one I'll never forget. Getting into the Highlands was a dream since my first visit to Iceland 7 years ago. And this is THE WAY to do it. It takes a high clearance vehicle to do it, and this one was like a tank, yet as comfortable as possible given the "road". Amazing otherworldly scenery, with timely stops for pics and hikes. Henrik was incredible, with great knowledge and fun stories. I highly recommend this tour.

Great trip. We were not able to do the Landmannalaugar tour but they offered us the Thorsmork Super Jeep Tour, it was great. The tour operator was Southcoast and they were very kind and offered us all the help that we needed

The tour was great: I really love this journey. The super jeep is incredibly cool, making it easy to traverse mountains and cross rivers in the highlands. The scenery there is absolutely breathtaking. The driver and guide has provided a smooth ride, and besides taking us to beautiful attractions, he has also shared local anecdotes and introduced Icelandic culture, giving us a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience.

The experience of riding a super jeep on an unpaved road and crossing a river is awesome. It was very useful because the tour guide explained the scenic spots and Iceland in detail while driving the jeep. The beautiful scenery of Landmannalaugar is also an unforgettable memory.
