The location is truly breathtaking, nestled in the Icelandic Highlands among vibrant rhyolite mountains, steaming geothermal vents, and rugged landscapes that feel otherworldly. The highlight of the hike was definitely the dip in the geothermal springs. This is the real deal!”

We hiked to a few remote spots with incredible geology, passed through fun rivers in the Super Jeep, had lunch in Thor's Valley, then hiked an incredible mountain for wonderful pictures and views. Ragnar really did a great job including everyone and helping everyone (he even stood in the stream to help all of us cross it).

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 179 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $217

“The places you visit are GORGEOUS. It takes more than 2 hours to get to the national park from Hella and once you get there the hike is beautiful, and fairly easy (only 3 hours of walking). Considering days are so long in the summer, they could probably start a bit later or finish a bit later and go on a longer hike. The hot springs at the end are amazing. It’s overall a good tour. Our guide was super nice.”

We felt like we had a full day at that point, and then he took us to two volcanic craters that were breathtakingly beautiful and two waterfalls. Going to Haifoss turned out to be a true highlight for me, and was one of the prettiest falls we saw anywhere on our trip. Do not pass up this trip - it’s worth every penny!!!”

Spend 10 hours in a high-clearance jeep exploring Landmannalaugar, Hekla, Hnausapollur, Ljótipollur, Sigöldugljúfur, and Hjálparfoss. You get about three hours for hiking and bathing, plus an English-speaking guide such as Oli or Ole. Bring warm clothes, swimwear, a towel, and lunch.

“If you are going to do this trip you need to do you research. Understand that the trip is mainly just hiring a driver. The driver picked us up in an elongated Ford Excursion which I don’t consider a “super jeep” but that isn’t what I was there for. It is a long drive and about half is on very bumpy roads. On the way, you will stop at several places to admire the views. When you get to Landmannalauger the driver will basically give you a couple of options to do (hike or bath) and say be back in 3 hours. I had prepared and knew I was going…”

“It was a long drive from Reykjavik to the destination but was broken up with comfort stops and a stop at a beautiful waterfall. The last 24 km of the ride was rough but the views were surreal. It was worth it when we got to our destination. The hike took just over 2 hours, with our guide setting an easy pace and allowing for a lot of photo stops. The views and landscape were incredibly spectacular. Not information was given in the trip overview on the type of terrain we would be hiking. There were spots that were quite steep, if you’re a senior you need to be in…”
