The excitement begins when an experienced private guide picks you up from your Reykjavik hotel on a super jeep in the morning. From there, you'll be taken to the Highlands, but not before stopping at some lesser-known yet impressive spots along the way.
The super jeep means you can travel over bumpy roads and rivers, adding to your journey. Your private guide can answer any questions and tell you stories about the area.
The Highlands of Iceland, a mesmerizing and remote region, offer a breathtaking glimpse into the raw, untamed beauty of nature.
Comprising about 40% of the country's total landmass, the Highlands are a largely uninhabited wilderness, where the forces of fire, ice, and extreme weather have shaped the landscape like no other.
One of the most iconic features of the Icelandic Highlands is the volcanic activity that defines the region. The Highlands are home to numerous volcanoes, some of which are still active, and the ground is dotted with hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles.
The most famous of these geothermal wonders is Landmannalaugar, known for its colorful rhyolite mountains and natural hot springs, making it a popular hiking and bathing destination.
As you head to Landmannalaugar, you'll stop at the Thjorsardalur valley that runs along Thjorsa, Iceland's longest river. This area is home to natural sites like the Burfells Woods and the Thjorsardals hot springs.
It's also where you'll find Hjalparfoss, a waterfall that's become an excellent spot for taking beautiful photos. Near Hjalparfoss waterfall is a small market where you can buy snacks to power you up for the rest of the day. After that, you'll visit Haifoss, one of the tallest waterfalls in Iceland.
You'll also drive past two hydroelectric plants and the Ljotipollur volcanic crater, known for its cobalt-blue lake at the bottom. Your super jeep tour will finally take you to the Landmannalaugar.
Landmannalaugar is nestled beside the Laugahraun lava field, which was formed after an eruption in 1477.
As a result, the rhyolite mountains of Landmannalaugar feature dazzling colors comprising different shades of pink, red, green, blue, and golden yellow. There are plenty of things you can do while in the area, such as hiking, bathing in hot springs, or just relaxing in nature.
After enjoying the wonders of Landmannalaugar, you'll return to Reykjavik, still in the super jeep. You'll take the Domadalur route, which passes along the Hekla volcano. During the trip back to the city, you can revisit the photos you've taken in the Highlands or appreciate the views you'll encounter.
