Our day starts with your expert driver and guide welcoming you onboard one of our special super jeeps. We’ll collect you from your hotel or place of stay in Iceland at 08:00. Pick-up also possible from Hveragerdi, Selfoss, Hella and Hvolsvöllur.

We start off from Reykjavík and drive through the fertile farm lands of southern Iceland. We drive inland and soon the snow-covered peak of Hekla, Iceland’s most famous active volcano, comes into view. Hekla was notorious in medieval Europe as it was believed to be the entrance to hell. Hekla has erupted approximately 20 times since the county was settled in the ninth century. Although Hekla is relatively dormant today it’s last eruption was less than ten years ago on 26th Feb 2000. The variations in the lava and vegetation shaped by the forces of erosion create a spectacular setting for the volcano. We drive right up to the edge of the youngest lava field formed during the 2000 eruption. If weather permits, we drive up along the volcano’s ridge, which is 900 meters above sea level. From this height we can enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding region. From the base of the volcano we drive over a truly rugged mountain track past lava fields and explosion craters.

We then head into Landmannalaugar traversing a few streams and rivers in our specially build super jeep. Opportunity for a hike around the beautiful Landmannalaugar area. Depending on the weather and time of year, optional activities can be pursued in this region. 1-2 hours standard, longer duration available on request. Landmannalaugar is Iceland's unique highland paradise for geology enthusiasts and hikers and don't forget to bring along your bathing suit and towel for a geothermal dip in the hot steam.

As we head out of the interior, we visit the explosion crater Ljótipollur. After a pit stop at the highland centre at Hrauneyjar for coffee and a break at Hrauneyjar Guesthouse. We then advance down the picturesque Þjórsárdalur. We’ll make a stop at the photogenic Hjálparfoss waterfall before our return to Reykjavik.
