Private Landmannalaugar & Hekla Super Jeep Tour
Feel free to contact us
Description
A specially modified Super Jeep turns the road into part of the adventure on this spectacular journey into Iceland’s colourful southern highlands. Rivers, lava fields and mountain tracks lead towards landscapes that ordinary vehicles cannot reach.
Hekla rises above the route as one of Iceland’s most storied volcanoes, while Ljótipollur and Frostastaðavatn introduce deep blue water, rust-red crater walls and sweeping highland views. Landmannalaugar completes the palette with rhyolite mountains, obsidian lava and steaming geothermal ground.
A warm natural pool offers the perfect contrast to the wild terrain. The private format gives the day a relaxed rhythm and room to enjoy the places that most capture your group.
Itinerary
Reykjavík pickup
Highland departure
Leave the capital from the pickup point shown on your voucher and watch farms and lowland valleys give way to increasingly dramatic volcanic scenery. It is a rewarding place to pause, take photographs and appreciate the scale of the landscape.
Hjálparfoss
Twin waterfall in a lava valley
See two graceful streams join in a broad pool framed by basalt formations and soft vegetation near the meeting of the Þjórsá and Fossá rivers. There is time to enjoy the view before the journey continues through another striking part of Iceland.
Mount Hekla
Iceland’s hooded volcano
Travel through the realm of Hekla, a long volcanic ridge wrapped in legend, history and immense views across the southern interior. The changing colours, textures and wide horizons make this one of the route’s strongest visual moments.
Ljótipollur
Cobalt lake in a red crater
Pause above a vivid crater lake whose deep blue water and iron-rich slopes create one of the most photogenic colour contrasts in the highlands. The changing colours, textures and wide horizons make this one of the route’s strongest visual moments.
Frostastaðavatn
Lake beside lava and rhyolite
Admire a serene mountain lake edged by dark lava and colourful ridges on the approach to the heart of Landmannalaugar. It is a rewarding place to pause, take photographs and appreciate the scale of the landscape.
