Description

Starting in Selfoss creates a direct and beautifully scenic approach to the highlands. A private Super Jeep follows mountain roads and river crossings into a landscape of waterfalls, lava fields and colourful peaks.

Landmannalaugar is the centrepiece, with flexible time for a rewarding walk among rhyolite ridges and obsidian lava. The natural geothermal pool offers an inviting place to relax beneath the mountains.

Because the day is private, the guide can shape the pace and selected viewpoints around your group while current highland conditions determine the best route.

Itinerary

1

Selfoss-area pickup

Private departure for the highlands

Meet your driver-guide at the confirmed pickup point and travel inland as farms and river valleys gradually give way to lava, mountains and remote volcanic horizons. There is time to absorb the scenery before the route continues through another dramatic chapter of Iceland’s volcanic interior.

2

Hjálparfoss

Twin waterfall in a lava valley

See two graceful streams meet in a broad pool framed by basalt and soft vegetation, a beautiful oasis close to the meeting point of the Þjórsá and Fossá rivers. The stop gives you time to enjoy the colours, scale and striking contrasts that make the Icelandic highlands so memorable.

3

Hnausapollur

Blue lake in a rust-red crater

Look into a vivid crater where deep blue water, iron-rich slopes and surrounding lava create one of the most colourful volcanic panoramas along the highland route. Your guide adds local context while the wide views and changing light turn the landscape into one of the day’s strongest photographic moments.

4

Landmannalaugar arrival

A private introduction to Fjallabak

Enter the colourful heart of the highlands where red, gold and green mountains rise beside black lava and geothermal steam in an extraordinary natural amphitheatre. Your guide adds local context while the wide views and changing light turn the landscape into one of the day’s strongest photographic moments.

5

Flexible scenic hike

The best walk for your group

Choose a rewarding route with the guide, from an easy lava-field viewpoint to a longer mountain walk when time, ability and conditions support it. Your guide adds local context while the wide views and changing light turn the landscape into one of the day’s strongest photographic moments.

6

Landmannalaugar

Rhyolite mountains and warm water

There is time to absorb the scenery before the route continues through another dramatic chapter of Iceland’s volcanic interior.

7

Return to Selfoss

Final highland panoramas
