Description

Landmannalaugar rewards the long journey with an almost unreal combination of red, gold, green and charcoal-black scenery. A private format gives you space to enjoy the route and the places that most capture your group.

Highland viewpoints, volcanic lakes and waterfalls build towards the famous rhyolite mountains. Once there, choose a walk with the guide and discover how dramatically the colours change with the light.

The warm natural spring offers a perfect final contrast to the rugged terrain before the scenic drive back 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.

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.

Landmannalaugar viewpoints

Painted mountains and obsidian lava

Discover a volcanic palette of rhyolite ridges, black Laugahraun lava and geothermal steam, with private pacing that leaves room for photographs and local stories. The stop gives you time to enjoy the colours, scale and striking contrasts that make the Icelandic highlands so memorable.

Private highland walk

A route chosen for your day

Follow a scenic trail selected for your group and the conditions, whether you prefer a gentle overview or a more active taste of the colourful mountains. The stop gives you time to enjoy the colours, scale and striking contrasts that make the Icelandic highlands so memorable.

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.

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. The stop gives you time to enjoy the colours, scale and striking contrasts that make the Icelandic highlands so memorable.
