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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Landmannalaugar

Rhyolite mountains and geothermal pool

Explore a dazzling landscape of painted mountains, black obsidian lava and steaming ground, with time for a restorative dip in the natural warm pool. Your guide adds local context while the surrounding scenery gives the stop its own memorable character.

7

Highland return
