Landmannalaugar & Mt. Hekla

We offer a unique and unforgettable super jeep excursion to this striking "jewel of the interior".

Landmannalaugar is the pearl of Iceland's central highlands, situated in a valley between colourful, steep mountains at the high and dark edge of the Laugahraun lava field.

The route passes through Þjórsárdalur valley and crosses lava fields of different eras, small rivers and volcanic craters, which make up an peculiar lunar-type landscape. Landmannalaugar is surrounded by colourful mountains due to centuries of volcanic activity in the area and is indescribably beautiful; you just have to see for yourself. The mountains are split with gullies and gorges that are ideal for hiking. At Landmannalaugar you can have an outside bath in a natural warm pool where many hot and cold springs have mixed together.

On our way back to Reykjavík we drive along the roots of Mt. Hekla, Iceland's most active volcano.

Hekla is the queen of mountains on the island and has erupted on average every 10 years in the 20th century, the last one in the year 2000. The frequent eruptions have created dramatic scenery with thick layers of ash and lava in the surrounding area.
