Description

Discover the dramatic beauty of Iceland’s Highlands on this guided Landmannalaugar hiking tour departing from Reykjavík. Nestled within the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, Landmannalaugar is renowned for its colorful rhyolite mountains, bubbling geothermal hot springs, and striking lava fields shaped by centuries of volcanic activity.

Your adventure begins with a visit to Hjálparfoss, a stunning two-tiered waterfall framed by unique basalt rock formations. This lush oasis, historically a vital stop for travelers crossing Iceland’s rugged highlands, offers an ideal introduction to the region’s natural wonders.

In Landmannalaugar, you’ll enjoy over three hours to explore. Join your expert guide for a two-hour hike through the obsidian-rich Laugahraun lava field up to the vividly colored Brennisteinsalda, also known as the Sulphur Wave. Alternatively, wander scenic trails or unwind in a natural geothermal pool—just remember your swimsuit and towel.

The itinerary continues to Sigöldugljúfur, the breathtaking “Valley of Tears.” This enchanting canyon features crystal-clear waterfalls, spring-fed streams, and vibrant vegetation, making it a favorite among photographers and nature lovers. Roundtrip transport from select Reykjavík hotels and bus stops is included for your convenience.
