What to expect?

Day 1: REYKJAVIK - LANDMANNALAUGAR: FROSTASTAÐAVATN & LJÓTIPOLLUR **

  • The tour starts by the Reykjavík tourist info at the City Hall which is within walking distance of most hotels and guesthouses in central Reykjavík. After introductions, we board the scheduled bus that takes us to Landmannalaugar. From Reykjavik we drive inland through the beautiful Thjórsárdalur valley, named after the river Thjórsá and the longest river in Iceland, towards Hekla Volcano. Passing extensive lava fields from previous eruptions we approach the Landmannalaugar area with its amazing peaks. After our lunch, we will set on 10 km hike to ill-named Ljótipollur (Ugly Puddle) Lake qualified among 42 of the World´s Most Beautiful Crater Lakes. An incredible red crater filled with bright -blue water and real eye-candy. And in the evening you will enjoy a relaxing bath moment at the natural steaming hot spring bath.

Day 2: BRENNISTEINSALDA, VONDUGIL, AND SUÐURNÁMUR LIPARIT MOUNTAIN

A hiking trail leads up to the top of the mountain from which, in good conditions, five glaciers are visible.
