13 hours · Reykjavík area · Magic Iceland Travel · Free cancellation on most tours

Leave behind the buzz of the city and set your sights on the untamed heart of Iceland! This full-day 4x4 adventure plunges you into the wild Highlands, where the geothermal marvels of Landmannalaugar await. Accessible only during the summer months, Landmannalaugar is cut off for most of the year due to snow-covered mountain roads, making it one of Iceland’s most exclusive destinations. Widely considered one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, its landscapes look like something straight out of a fantasy movie. Your epic journey kicks off at dawn in Reykjavík, whisking you toward some of Iceland’s most breathtaking and hidden waterfalls. Your first conquest is Hjálparfoss , a mesmerizing twin cascade surrounded by ancient lava fields. Take time to explore this natural fortress before pressing onward to the thunderous heights of Háifoss , one of the tallest waterfalls in the country—a place that looks like something straight out of Stranger Things . Then, discover Sigöldufoss , a stunning Highland waterfall set in a remote and surreal landscape. Braving rugged Highland roads, your 4x4 powers through to Landmannalaugar , a legendary realm of rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains and bubbling geothermal springs. Here, adventure is at its peak: trek a scenic 5 km hike of moderate difficulty through otherworldly terrain- proper hiking boots are essential- then soak your trail-weary muscles in a steaming natural hot spring surrounded by towering peaks. But the adventure doesn’t end there. On your return journey, stop at Hnausapollur crater , a remote volcanic lake that dwarfs Kerið in both size and mystique. Then, admire the spectacular Frostastaðavatn , a tranquil Highland lake surrounded by dark lava fields and colourful mountains, creating one of the most striking landscapes in the Landmannalaugar area. A final comfort stop lets you catch your breath before you roll back into Reykjavík, your spirit awakened and your memory brimming with wild Icelandic tales. Please note: This full-day Highland adventure is suitable for participants aged 10-70 who are in good physical condition. Bringing enough food for the entire day is strongly recommended, as well as swimwear and a towel if you wish to enjoy the natural hot spring.
