Landmannalaugar, Haifoss and Nature Bath Tour
Feel free to contact us
Description
This full-day highland tour combines three strong reasons to travel inland: the canyon waterfalls of Háifoss and Granni, the volcanic landscapes of Þjórsárdalur, and Landmannalaugar's rhyolite mountains, lava fields and natural hot spring.
Travel from Reykjavik by a highland-capable vehicle or bus toward the interior. The day can include Hjálparfoss, Háifoss and Granni, Hnausapollur crater lake, and time in Landmannalaugar for a guided hike and an optional soak in the natural geothermal pool.
This is a long day, but a very practical way to see Landmannalaugar and Háifoss without self-driving F-roads. Bring warm waterproof layers, sturdy shoes, swimwear and towel, plus lunch, snacks and water.
Itinerary
Hjálparfoss
Twin waterfall in Þjórsárdalur
Hjálparfoss is a two-step waterfall framed by basalt formations in Þjórsárdalur valley. It is a scenic first stop before the route moves deeper toward the Highlands.
Háifoss and Granni
High canyon waterfalls
Háifoss drops about 122 meters into a deep canyon, with Granni close beside it. Together they give the tour one of its strongest waterfall and photography moments.
Hnausapollur
Blue volcanic crater lake
Hnausapollur, also known as Bláhylur, is a turquoise crater lake surrounded by red and dark volcanic slopes. It adds a clear geology highlight to the highland route.
Landmannalaugar hike
Rhyolite mountains and lava fields
Your guide leads a hike through Landmannalaugar's colourful rhyolite terrain, lava fields and geothermal scenery. The route and walking time may vary with conditions on the day.
