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.

Had a great time. Our guide Matt was a knowledgable guy who tells you about Landmannalaugar and everything else you'd like to know about Iceland with great passion. Also shoutout to the driver Christophe for getting us there safely, since the F-road's condition was horrible due to the ending of the season.

Our activity got canceled, but it was very easy tog et rescheduled. We were very glad we did! Our driver was amazing and was able to navigate the F roads with ease in the bus. Our guide was also fantastic making sure everyone stayed on the trail, giving us information about the area, and making sure we finished the joke with plenty of time for the hot springs without rushing us. Landmannalaugar is a very underrated area in Iceland, and I cannot recommend it enough!

Love the whole trip, the bus was on time for the morning pick up at Reykjavik bus stop, the pick up point is conveniently located within walking distance to the guesthouse, the whole bus ride was pleasant, complete with some explanations on the surrounding landscape. The hike to brennensteinsalda was just nice, Enrique, our guide was very good in explaining each geological events as well as including some history about the place. The hike was easy and not difficult at all, with suitable stopping sites for some quick rest. At the end, with some time left, we can go on for other simple hike or bath in the hot thermal pool. Overall, thanks to all the team including the driver that enable me to enjoy the hiking experience in Iceland for the first time. Would definitely encourage others to choose this trip.
