Duration:
14:00 hours
Description
Explore Landmannalaugar, the "pearl of the highlands" and a wonderful area with stunning geological curiosities. You will discover the iconic rhyolite mountains and their explosion of colors from the comfort of an all-terrain jeep.
Your day of adventure will begin as you are collected from your Reykjavik hotel at 8:30AM. From here you will climb into your fully-equipped super jeep, specifically designed to navigate the rugged terrain of Iceland's wilderness.
You will first travel to Thjórsárdalur, a green valley dotted with rivers, waterfalls, lava fields, and birch woods. Whilst here you will explore the two-tiered Hjálparfoss Waterfall, where you will be able to walk down an easy path to see the plunge pool, which is framed by lava structures and basalt formations.
The tour's next stop is a deep blue crater lake called Hnausapollur, which makes for surreal photos. From here you will continue to Frostastadavatn, another lake with lava flows that plunge directly into the water. At Landmannalaugar you will be able to see the black lava flows running through the multicolored cryolite mountains. You can take the walking path to the Brennisteinsfjöll Volcano, special for its vibrant color scheme of dark lava fields, yellow sulfide, and green lichens.
Following your hike, you will take a relaxing hot bath in the natural pool at the foot of the Laugahraun lava field. Your last stops are Haifoss, Iceland's third-highest waterfall, and Lake Ljótipollur, which is surrounded by dark-red crater walls. You will later return to Reykjavik for drop-off at the conclusion of your tour.
