Summary
Description
Explore the wonders of Landmannalaugar on a semi-private super jeep excursion from Reykjavik. Travelers eager to see the Icelandic Highlands, amongst many other sites, should grab their chance to book this small group tour.
This once-in-a-lifetime adventure begins when your expert guide picks you up in Reykjavik in a super jeep. Not only will this vehicle safely take you across highland landscapes, but it guarantees a small group. As such, you’ll have your guide’s attention and can escape the crowds through this tour.
You’ll set off along the beautiful South Coast, marveling over the coastline, countryside, lava landscapes, and geothermal areas. Your journey will then take you inland, towards the glaciers and volcanoes surrounding Landmannalaugar.
You’ll be grateful for your modified super jeep from this point as you’ll easily cross the bumpy highland roads and shallow rivers.
Your first major stop today is the Haifoss waterfall. Standing 400 feet (122 meters) tall, Haifoss is one of the highest cascades in the country, and the red cliff it falls from is colored beautifully. Beside it is another slightly smaller but still stunning waterfall, Granni.
Next, you will travel to the valley of Sigoldugljufur, a spectacular area with even more waterfalls and vivid blue rivers. Though it appears like a naturally occurring environment, it only exists because of a nearby hydroelectric dam.
Then your group will visit the enormous crater lake of Blahylur, or Hnausapollur lake, a perfect stop for photography.
Finally, you’ll enter the highland reserve of Landmannalaugar. This magical region has hot springs, colorful rhyolite mountains, and countless hiking trails. Your guide will take you on a two to three-hour trek along one of these to a platform with some of the best views in Iceland.
Alternatively, you can bring a swimsuit and towel and skip the hiking component to bask in the geothermal waters. Few places are as beautiful for hot spring bathing in nature as Landmannalaugar. You can also elect to hike by yourself.
Regardless of how you choose to spend your time in the highlands of Iceland, you’ll be blown away by how spectacular and unique the wilderness here is.
After enjoying Landmannalaugar, your guide will escort you back to Reykjavik in their super jeep. Depending on the time, you may make a few more stops on your return journey for some additional photographs.
