Incredible day! A moderately challenging hike but the guide and other people in the group made it so fun and amazing! Our guide Dimitris was very easy to chat with and pointed out great spots for photos, regularly stopped for breaks etc. As a young solo traveller I felt very comfortable in the group and the hot spring was the best way to finish the day!! 10/10

Trip was beautiful, fun and the right amount of a challenge. The guide was excellent !! Loved the geo thermal spring relaxation afterwards. Although it took almost 4 hours to get there ( Less on the way back), it was well worth it !!

Full description

Enjoy a day tour to the Southern Highland of Fjallabak to explore the wonders of Iceland's Landmannalaugar and Hekla Volcano area. Dive into a bubbling wonderland with caramel colored peaks, soothing hot springs, rambling lava flows and clear blue lakes. 

Landmannalaugar, together with Hekla, an active volcano in its neighborhood, is one of Iceland's most unique destinations and a must for all who love to explore the beauty of nature. Discover one of the most active geothermal areas flanked by rhyolite mountains and steaming hot springs.

Start the day with lunch and set off on a 4-hour hike through the sprawling lava fields of Laugahraun, Vondugil Canyon and up to the summit of the colorful mountain of Brennisteinsalda with its steaming vents and Sulphur deposits.

Descend through the Grænagil canyon, carved as a result of geodynamic activity of mountains, volcanoes and glacial rivers. If time and weather conditions allow, climb Bláhnúkur, a circa 60,000-year-old volcano with panoramic views of the Landmannalaugar Valley. 

Have a bath in a natural hot pool, where both hot and cold water flow out from beneath Laugahraun, mixing together and forming the perfect bathing conditions. Remember to take your swimwear and a towel with you.

The tour was incredibly interesting and full of unforgettable moments. The beauty surrounding us was absolutely breathtaking, especially when we reached the highest point and could take in the stunning views of the entire area. Huge thanks to our guide Nico, who showed amazing patience, sensitivity, and care for each participant. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves mountain trekking and unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
