Full description
See a less-visited part of Iceland with a day tour from Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar in the highlands. See a stunning double-pronged waterfall, hike through the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, and soak in a geothermal hot spring. Landmannalaugar is known as the pearl of the highlands for good reason. The variety of landscapes you will see is remarkable, with new vostas emerging with every turn. Here you have about 4 hours to enjoy the best of what the area has to offer. We take the 1.5-2 hour easy Lauga-loop hiking trail along which we pass the renowned colourful ryholite hills, striking obsidian rock formations, ascend toward the steaming geothermal pools and negotiate the trail through the foothills of Bláknúkur mountain. After the hike you have the opportunity to bathe in the geothermal hot-spring pool, as reward for your exertions on the trails. Enjoy great views as you linger in the healing waters. We enjoy other great sights on our way to and from Landmannalaugarþ. We see the waterfalls at Hjálparafoss, Glanni and Háifoss. Háifoss waterfall is Iceland's fourth largest. We also pay a visit to Hnausapollur, an ancient crater lake formed by volcanic eruptions. Marvel at the turquoise blue hue of the water, contrasting with the desolate desert sands of the surrounding landscape. We return to Reykjavík tired but content, with memories of untouched nature to enjoy for years to come.

Anna was very knowledgable and a great tourguide! She was very empathetic and catered to all of our needs. She made a lot of the facts relatable by sharing her own experiences. She knew everything! It was super interesting. She also kept a nice ambiance on the long bus rides with authentic, nice Icelandic music. She was very accommodating with regular bathroom and food stops. The bus driver was also very kind and concentrated for the whole 16 hour tour, driving safely whilst trying to navigate the bus against the strong winds. Personally, I thought 16 hours was too long. I’m grateful that I did it, because I otherwise wouldn’t have seen all the great sites, but I think I’d make two day trips out of it next time. Thanks for the great trip!

Very exciting and rewarding. Only way I would ever have gotten into the back country with its very rough roads and minimal directions, and no GPS. Beautiful sites. The Landmannalaugar loop hike was a bit challenging at my age, but quite rewarding. One suggestion: Better information at the start to prepare those coming: 1. Explain that the stop for lunch is part way through the hike. 2. That there are no changing rooms or lockers at the hot pool site. 3. Explain the hike is about 6 km. The van was full and quite cramped for 16 people, especially those stuck in back row.

This was an amazing tour! Came all the way from Toronto and this was the first stop on the itinerary. The landscape here is incredible and so much to take in at once. We had a lovely hike through the lava fields and then took a dip in the hot springs. Amazing value! Can I come back already??? The colours are spectacular 😍
