Landmannalaugar super jeep day-tour

Experience the great Landmannalaugar interior destination with a pro at the wheel of your Super Jeep as you explore Iceland’s unique interior paradise for geology enthusiasts and visiting hikers - and don’t forget to bring along your bathing suit and towel for a dip in one of Iceland’s natural geothermal spots.
You will start off from Reykjavík and drive through the fertile farmlands of southern Iceland. Soon the snow-covered peak of Hekla, Iceland’s most famous active volcano, comes into view. Hekla was notorious in medieval Europe as it was believed to be the entrance to hell. Hekla has erupted approximately 20 times since the county was settled in the ninth century.

The variations in the lava and vegetation shaped by the forces of erosion create a spectacular setting for the volcano. You will drive right up to the edge of the youngest lava field formed during the 2000 eruption. If weather permits, there will be the possibility to drive up along the volcano’s ridge, which is 900 meters above sea level. From this height, you can enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding region.

The group will then head into Landmannalaugar traversing a few streams and rivers in a specially built super jeep. The group will stop allowing time for exploring or a refreshing dip in the nearby hot springs stream. Then, as the group heads out of the interior, you will visit the explosion crater Ljótipollur. At the end there will be time to make a pit stop at the highland hotel at Hrauneyjar for coffee and a break. The day in the Landmannalaugar area is a memorable experience and a geological treat.
