Landmanalaugar

Join us for a private day trip from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar, one of the most colorful and dramatic regions of the Icelandic Highlands. This tour is exclusively for private groups, allowing us to fully tailor the experience to your interests, pace, and hiking ability. We depart in the morning in a powerful super jeep, specially designed to handle Iceland’s rugged highland terrain.

Our journey takes us through vast lava fields, volcanic landscapes, and remote mountain roads as we make our way into the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. Along the drive, your guide will share insights into Iceland’s geology, volcanic activity, and highland history, adjusting stops and explanations to suit your preferences.

Upon arrival in Landmannalaugar, we begin exploring this unique area, known for its colorful rhyolite mountains, obsidian lava fields, and geothermal landscapes. We then set out on a guided hike, carefully selected based on your group’s fitness level, interests, weather conditions, and available time.
