Trip Highlights

Overview

“Landmannalaugar Nature Reserve has been described as something so spectacular and unique that it cannot be put into words by many. On this tour, we will enjoy the best of the best.

After a drive through the South Iceland countryside, we will “enter” the highlands and the breathtaking landscapes that can be found there. We will visit the Hnausapollur volcanic crater and the Sigöldufossar waterfalls, but our main stop is at Landmannalaugar.

We will take an easy walk and visit the Laugahraun lava field as well as the geothermal area by Brennisteinsalda mountain. Before heading back to Reykjavik, the geothermal natural hot spring awaits us. So, don’t forget to bring your swimsuit.”
