Description
The Super Jeep turns the approach to Landmannalaugar into a true highland expedition. Water crossings, mountain tracks and changing volcanic terrain connect some of the region’s most memorable natural landmarks.
Hjálparfoss and Sigöldufoss bring clear water into the lava landscape, while Ljótipollur offers a dazzling crater panorama. Hekla dominates the wider horizon as the route enters the colourful world of Fjallabak.
At Landmannalaugar, enjoy time to explore the rhyolite scenery and relax in warm natural water before the adventure returns to Reykjavík.
Itinerary
Reykjavík pickup
Highland journey begins
Leave the capital from the pickup point shown on your voucher and watch settled farmland give way to lava, broad valleys and the increasingly wild horizons of Iceland’s southern interior. The stop gives you time to enjoy the colours, scale and striking contrasts that make the Icelandic highlands so memorable.
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.
Sigöldufoss
Waterfall in the highland gateway
Pause at a beautiful cascade where clear river water drops through dark volcanic terrain and bright vegetation, introducing the vivid contrasts of the interior. There is time to absorb the scenery before the route continues through another dramatic chapter of Iceland’s volcanic interior.
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. There is time to absorb the scenery before the route continues through another dramatic chapter of Iceland’s volcanic interior.
Ljótipollur
Crimson crater and deep-blue water
Look across a beautifully formed explosion crater whose red walls and dark-blue lake create an extraordinary viewpoint in the volcanic country north of Landmannalaugar. Your guide adds local context while the wide views and changing light turn the landscape into one of the day’s strongest photographic moments.
Landmannalaugar
Rhyolite mountains and warm water
Arrive among painted mountains, black obsidian lava and steaming ground, then explore on foot and enjoy the beautiful contrast of a natural geothermal pool when conditions allow. There is time to absorb the scenery before the route continues through another dramatic chapter of Iceland’s volcanic interior.
Mount Hekla
Legendary volcano on the horizon
Travel through the realm of Hekla, a long and often cloud-crowned ridge with a powerful eruption history and immense views across the southern interior. The stop gives you time to enjoy the colours, scale and striking contrasts that make the Icelandic highlands so memorable.
Scenic return
From the highlands back to the lowlands
Relax after the adventure as the route leaves the remote interior and follows a final sequence of lava fields, mountain views and changing Icelandic light towards the confirmed drop-off point. Your guide adds local context while the wide views and changing light turn the landscape into one of the day’s strongest photographic moments.
