The day begins with a smooth and efficient pickup service in central Reykjavík. Head east out of the city to Þjórsárdalur valley and stop at the roaring Hjálparafoss waterfall. Marvel at the two massive waterfalls that make up Hjálparafoss waterfall, framed by stunning basalt formations.
Snap a picture of the pool at the base of the falls, which offered relief and water to weary travelers from the north. Next, head to Hnausapollur, an ancient crater lake formed by volcanic eruptions. Marvel at the turquoise blue hue of the water before continuing to Landmannalaugar.

Enter the Fjallabak Nature Reserve and drive through colorful rhyolite hills, lava fields, and geothermal activity. Join your hiking guide for a moderate hike through this beautiful landscape and past stunning vistas.
