Landmannalaugar Super Jeep Day Tour from Reykjavík
Tour Description
This 13-hour small-group adventure offers an exclusive journey into Iceland’s remote Landmannalaugar Highlands. Highlights include specialized transportation via a customized elevated mountain truck (Super Truck), exploring the rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains and vast lava fields of Landmannalaugar, and visiting major waterfalls like the dramatic Háifoss (one of Iceland’s tallest). The tour also stops at the picturesque Hjálparfoss twin falls and the striking Hnausapollur Volcanic Crater. Guests have ample time for hiking and relaxing in a natural geothermal pool.
Join this full-day, 13-hour guided tour departing from Reykjavík, offering a unique, small-group experience into the challenging terrain of Iceland’s interior. This tour provides an essential solution for reaching the remote, road-restricted Highlands.
Your journey uses a specially modified 4x4 mountain truck, ensuring safe and comfortable navigation over the rugged terrain. The adventure begins with visits to the powerful South Iceland waterfalls: first, Hjálparfoss, a picturesque twin fall framed by basalt columns, followed by the immense Háifoss, plunging 122 meters into a deep canyon (the nearby Granni waterfall adds to the scene). You will also stop at the Hnausapollur Crater Lake, famed for its vivid red volcanic slopes surrounding sapphire-blue waters.
The main destination is Landmannalaugar, known as a geothermal paradise. Here, you are given substantial free time to explore the multicolored rhyolite mountains and otherworldly obsidian lava fields on your own pace. A major benefit of this stop is the opportunity to soothe muscles in the natural geothermal pool, a mineral-rich oasis situated right in the heart of the mountains. The tour limits group size to a maximum of 18 participants for a more personal experience before returning to Reykjavík in the evening.
