Description

Get your adrenaline pumping on your Iceland trip through an adventurous excursion to Landmannalaugar Nature Reserve. This 12-hour private guided tour takes you through one of the key areas in the Icelandic Highlands known for its hiking trails, mountains, and hot springs.

The trip begins when you’re picked up by a super jeep in Reykjavik. An experienced, private tour guide will also give you a detailed rundown and share stories surrounding every stop. The ride itself sets the tone for an exciting day with beautiful views and at least one river crossing experience awaiting.

Located in the Icelandic Highlands, Landmannalaugar is home to many exciting hiking trails. You’ll get to marvel at the natural beauty and raw power of nature in Iceland.

Your private guide will explain how the lava streams and volcanic eruptions in the past contributed to what Landmannalaugar looks like today. They will happily answer any questions, so don’t hesitate to ask.

The Landmannalaugar Trail will take you to some of Iceland’s most colorful mountains. These mountains and glaciers are scattered all over Landmannalaugar, though the one that stands out most is Mt. Barmur. Standing over 2,950 feet (900 meters) above sea level, Mt. Barmur is a wondrous sight.

Another essential stop in this guided tour is the Ljotipollur crater lake. Though its name means “ugly puddle” in English, Ljotipollur lake, in reality, is the opposite. Ljotipollur belongs to the Veioivotn volcanic fissure system and is about 5.6 miles (nine kilometers) away from Landmannalaugar.

Ljotipollur is one of the most breathtaking scenes worthy of capturing a thousand times with your camera. The crater is around a mile long (1.5 kilometers), and the brims are notably high.

However, it’s not just the crater that makes Ljotipollur stunning. The background features red lava rocks and layers of lava that complement the turquoise-blue lake.

You will also get to experience some of Iceland’s finest hot springs. You can dip in relaxing warm water. With the picturesque colorful mountains surrounding you, you can consider this natural hot spring bathing at its finest.

Another stop in this half-day adventure is Mount Hekla, which is Iceland’s most active volcano. The word “Hekla” in Icelandic means hooded cloak. The name likely came about because of the clouds usually found on the mountain’s summit.

Since the year 874, the Hekla volcano has erupted over 20 times. It measures 4,892 feet (1,491 meters) and looks like an overturned boat when you view it from afar.

There’s no need to worry about it erupting during your visit as geologists have placed monitors that alert whenever an event is likely to happen.

Since this is a private tour, you can tweak some details according to your preferences. For example, if you love hiking, you can request to be taken to longer trails while the rest of the group can spend more time in the hot springs.

After the excursion, you will be driven back to your hotel or the place you were picked up in the morning.

The tour is available only from June to September, and being one of the most popular private tours, securing a slot today is a must.
