Itinerary

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.

Hjálparfoss Waterfall

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.

Sigöldufoss Waterfall

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.

Landmannalaugar Region

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.

Ljótipollur Crater Lake

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.

Hekla Volcano

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.

Do you offer any family friendly tours, for younger children?

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family. Whale Watching with our partner company Elding has been a favourite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).

Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs. Most of our super jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour.
