Morning Pickup and Departure
Start your unforgettable journey with a convenient morning pickup from your accommodation.

As we leave civilization behind, we’ll make stops at some beautiful hidden gems and lesser-known waterfalls, such as the serene Hjalpárfoss, and the breathtaking Sigöldugljúfur canyon.
Scenic Journey to Landmannalaugar
We’ll venture into Europe’s largest true wilderness area, a pristine and barren tundra, historically treacherous and far from the crowds. We navigate the rugged mountain roads, truly showcasing the capabilities of our super jeep. This part of the journey is as thrilling as it is scenic, with volcanic deserts and vast, uninhabited landscapes stretching out before us. The area’s history is rich, with many stories of early settlers and their perilous journeys across these lands. Our local guides are always ready to share anecdotes and historical insights, enhancing your experience with fascinating tales.
Exploring Landmannalaugar
Upon arrival at Landmannalaugar, prepare to be amazed by the stunning scenery. During the summer months, the multicolored rhyolite mountains create a vibrant tapestry of yellow, red, fluorescent green, purple, brown, black, and white. This area is perfect for shorter hikes that provide spectacular views of volcanic deserts, rugged lava fields, inactive explosion craters, and waterfalls.
In winter, Landmannalaugar transforms into a magical snowy wonderland. The deep snow adds a serene and enchanting quality to the landscape. Access to this remote area becomes challenging, making the super jeep tour an essential and thrilling way to reach these hidden sights.
A Relaxing Dip in the Hot Springs
No matter the season, a visit to Landmannalaugar wouldn’t be complete without a dip in the natural hot springs. In the summer, it’s a refreshing break amid your hikes. In winter, the experience is truly unique as you soak in the warm waters surrounded by banks of melting ice and snow—a mix of hot and cold that is nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don’t forget your bathing suits and towels!
Views of Mt. Hekla
On clear days, you might be lucky enough to see Mt. Hekla, Iceland’s most active volcano, from quite close. Known historically as the “Gateway to Hell,” Mt. Hekla has erupted numerous times since Iceland’s settlement, blanketing the landscape with ash and pumice. Our guides will share fascinating stories about this powerful volcano, adding depth to the breathtaking views.
Customizable Experience
On the our way back to civilisation, we might be able to add another secret stop or two. Our tours usually follow a flexible itinerary within the given time range, allowing for extra stops based on group wishes. Whether you want more photo opportunities, additional hikes, or a deeper exploration of certain areas, feel free to ask our local guides. They are dedicated to making your adventure as personalized and memorable as possible.
