Hekla stands about 68 miles (110 kilometers) east of Reykjavik, at the northern edge of Iceland’s South Coast. As Hekla is located where the Icelandic Highlands start, it's only accessible via F-roads, which require modified 4x4 vehicles or guided Super Jeep tours.
Hekla is located close to several of Iceland’s most stunning natural attractions. Most notably, Hekla is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Landmannalaugar and 19 miles (30 kilometers) from Thjorsardalur Valley.
Many tours to Hekla include a stop in Landmannalaugar, giving you the opportunity to explore colorful rhyolite mountains and bathe in natural hot springs. On tours featuring Thjorsardalur, you can explore Haifoss Waterfall, Gjain Canyon, and the reconstructed Viking longhouse at Stöng, each offering a glimpse into Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and history.
The best time to visit Hekla Volcano is from late June to early September, when Highland roads are open and the weather in Iceland is stable. During this period, guided tours can reach the volcano safely, offering long daylight hours and the best visibility for sightseeing and photography.
Outside the summer season, the area is often closed due to snow and flooding. Some private operators offer winter Super Jeep tours, providing a rare chance to see Hekla’s slopes covered in snow and framed by distant glaciers.
Whether you’re drawn by the challenge of Iceland’s rugged Highlands or its volcanic history, a Hekla Volcano tour offers an unforgettable experience.
