This is the real Icelandic highlands: remote, raw and unlike anywhere on the coast. On this private day tour you leave Reykjavík behind and head into the interior in a Super Jeep built for the rough gravel tracks that lead to Landmannalaugar. No coaches, no crowds, no fixed script.

Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises.

Landmannalaugar sits inside the Fjallabak Nature Reserve and barely looks real. Rhyolite mountains glow red, ochre, green and black, steam drifts from the ground, and lava fields stretch out under wide highland skies. On the way you stop at Sigöldugljúfur, the Valley of Tears, where a turquoise river runs through a canyon lined with small waterfalls, at Ljótipollur, a blue crater lake ringed by red slopes, and at Frostastaðavatn lake.

At Landmannalaugar you have time to walk into the Laugahraun lava field and the colourful hills around it at your own pace, then ease into the natural hot spring, warm water surrounded by mountains.

Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, sagas and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture.

Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. In the highlands, weather and road conditions decide the day, so the stops, their order and how long you stay may change.

The Super Jeep takes up to 5 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.
