Laugavegur & Fjallabak Super Jeep Tour
Feel free to contact us
Description
This ambitious route is made for travellers who want the highlands to feel truly wild. From Hella, the Super Jeep enters a vast landscape of lava, black sand, rivers and colourful mountains.
Frostastaðavatn, Ljótipollur and Landmannalaugar reveal the classic palette of Fjallabak before the journey reaches deeper towards the striking green cone of Mælifell.
The long day rewards you with scale, variety and remote scenery rarely experienced on a standard Landmannalaugar excursion.
