Ride into Iceland’s remote Highlands in a Super Jeep built for the epic journey. In one day, you’ll cross rivers, wind through lava fields, and stop at surreal sights like Sigöldufoss waterfall and the crater lake Ljótipollur. At Landmannalaugar, you'll have an opportunity to soak in a natural hot spring surrounded by rainbow-colored mountains. With rugged roads and river crossings along the way, this is how you reach the wild beauty few get to see!

Join us for a thrilling Super Jeep safari to one of Iceland’s most awe-inspiring regions—Landmannalaugar and the remote Highlands. We begin our journey from Reykjavík and head through the lush farmlands of the south.
Our first stop is Hjálparfoss, or “Help’s Falls,” a picturesque waterfall tucked into the Þjórsárdalur valley. Here, the Fossá river splits in two before joining the glacial Þjórsá, forming a peaceful pond framed by striking basalt columns. The falls were once a vital rest stop for highland travelers, and the contrast between the clear blue water and the milky glacial rivers nearby is still just as striking.
As we move into the Highlands, we visit Sigöldufoss, a 10-meter (33 feet) waterfall along the Tungnaá river. Once fed by a powerful glacial flow, its water was silty and grey. After the Sigalda Power Plant redirected the river, what’s left is a vivid turquoise stream fed by underground springs—smaller, but even more beautiful than before.
From there, we travel deeper into the Highlands on rugged mountain tracks. Our Super Jeep handles river crossings with ease as we head toward Landmannalaugar, a geothermal oasis famous for its colorful rhyolite mountains and natural hot pools. The area is a favorite for hiking, photography, and soaking in warm spring-fed waters. Whether you choose to stretch your legs or relax in the pool, Landmannalaugar offers an unforgettable experience.
Next, we stop at Ljótipollur, a dramatic explosion crater around 150 meters (492 feet) deep. The name means “ugly puddle,” but the reality is quite the opposite. Surrounded by red and green hills, colored by natural minerals, this crater lake is one of the Highlands’ hidden gems—and a favorite for photographers.
We finish with a stop near Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active and famous volcanoes. Sitting on a 40-kilometer (25 miles) rift, Hekla has erupted 20 to 30 times since the island was settled. Some eruptions were powerful enough to affect the Northern Hemisphere’s climate. With about 10% of Iceland’s land shaped by its lava, Hekla is a must-see landmark. We’ll pause to take it all in and snap some memorable photos.
