Description
Take a private super jeep trip from Hvolsvollur to Landmannalaugar, a geothermal nature reserve in the Highlands. It suits travelers who want to bathe in hot springs and see Iceland's landscapes with just their travel companions.
Your guide, who is also your driver, picks you up from your hotel or hostel in the Hella and Hvolsvollur area. You then board a spacious super jeep and travel through the landscapes of the South Coast on your way to Landmannalaugar.
You drive past the foot of Hekla Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland, and through mountains and lava fields as you enter the Highlands. The route changes from paved roads to bumpy gravel tracks, with several river crossings.
Before reaching Landmannalaugar, you stop at Landmannahellir Cave, a lava cave beneath a volcanic peak, and enter its mouth to see how it formed. Your guide explains how such caves were created, how they were used in the past, and their role in Icelandic folklore.
After stretching your legs, you continue to Landmannalaugar, with its colorful rhyolite mountains, geothermal areas, craters, and views over the surrounding area. Once you arrive, you have two options.
You could head straight to the natural hot springs, change into your swimsuit, and soak in the warm water. Or you could take a walk through the wilderness to find sights just off the beaten track.
After your time at Landmannalaugar, you board the super jeep for the return journey, with more stops along the way. You come to Hnausapollur Crater, a large explosion crater you can hike up to the rim of. Then you reach Sigoldugljufur Canyon, a canyon lined with small waterfalls.
