Your journey begins in Reykjavík, where you'll be picked up in a customized 4x4 mountain truck, built for the challenging highland terrain. The drive itself is an experience, offering ever-changing scenery as you enter the raw, untouched beauty of Iceland’s interior.

As you journey deeper into the highlands, you'll arrive in Landmannalaugar, a geothermal paradise known for its multicolored rhyolite mountains, steaming hot springs, and vast lava fields. During your stop in Landmannalaugar, you will have ample time to hike across this otherworldly terrain at your own leisure.

After the hike, soothe your muscles in Landmannalaugar’s natural geothermal pool — a warm, mineral-rich oasis tucked in the middle of nature. The perfect way to relax after a day of exploration.
