Tour Details

Prepare yourself for an exhilarating journey into the heart of Iceland's rugged wilderness on the Landmannalaugar Safari, a Super Jeep day tour that promises a kaleidoscope of colors and geological wonders. As you set off from Reykjavík, the landscape transforms from lush, fertile farmlands to the dramatic, snow-draped silhouette of Hekla, Iceland's most infamous volcano. Known in medieval times as the gateway to hell, Hekla's fiery history is etched into the land, having erupted around 20 times since the ninth century.

Your adventure begins with a thrilling ride in a specially designed Super Jeep, expertly navigated by a seasoned driver. Feel the adrenaline surge as you traverse the rugged terrain, skirting the edge of the youngest lava field birthed by the 2000 eruption. If the skies are clear, the Jeep ascends the volcano's ridge, offering a breathtaking panorama from 900 meters above sea level—a vantage point that reveals the stark beauty of Iceland's volcanic landscape.

The journey continues over a rugged mountain track, weaving past ancient lava fields and explosion craters, each telling a story of the earth's fiery past. As you venture deeper into Landmannalaugar, the Super Jeep fords streams and rivers, bringing you to a geothermal oasis where you can soak in the soothing warmth of natural hot springs. The mineral-rich waters offer a moment of relaxation amidst the untamed beauty of the highlands.

Before the day concludes, you'll visit the striking explosion crater Ljótipollur and descend into the picturesque Þjórsárdalur valley. Here, the photogenic Hjálparfoss waterfall awaits, its cascading waters framed by basalt columns, a perfect spot for capturing memories. A stop at the highland hotel at Hrauneyjar provides a chance to savor a warm cup of coffee and reflect on the day's adventures.

This intimate small-group safari, with Super Jeeps accommodating 5 to 12 passengers, ensures a personalized and immersive experience. The Landmannalaugar Safari is not just a tour; it's a journey through time and nature, a geological spectacle that will leave you in awe of Iceland's raw and untamed beauty.
