Landmannalaugar Super Jeep Tour from Reykjavik
Colorful rhyolite mountains, volcanic craters, cascading waterfalls, and natural hot springs in one unforgettable highland journey.
The Landmannalaugar Super Jeep Tour takes travelers deep into Iceland's remote interior highlands, where multi-colored mountains, vast lava fields, and steaming geothermal pools create one of the country's most dramatic natural landscapes. This full-day excursion from Reykjavik covers extraordinary terrain that ordinary vehicles simply cannot reach.
The journey east from Reykjavik passes through striking contrasts of volcanic scenery, including views toward the Hekla Volcano and the vivid turquoise waters of Frostastadavatn Lake, before arriving at the famous highland basin. Travelers have dedicated time at Landmannalaugar to explore at their own pace, with guided hiking options suited to all ability levels.
The return route along Sigölduleið adds further depth to the day, revealing hidden canyons, towering waterfalls, and secluded oases that few visitors encounter. Sites including Hnausapollur, Sigöldugljúfur, Háifoss, Gjáin, and Hjálparfoss each offer a distinct window into Iceland's geological and natural character.

Itinerary Overview
Your guide collects you from designated pickup points in Reykjavik, Hveragerdi, Selfoss, or Hella. After a brief overview of the day's plan and time to collect a packed lunch, the group departs east toward the highlands.
The drive east includes photography stops beside expansive black lava fields, with views toward the Hekla Volcano. The turquoise waters of Frostastadavatn Lake provide another striking visual contrast before the highland roads begin.
The group spends approximately two hours at Landmannalaugar. The guide recommends hiking options based on ability, with the Laugahraun Loop at 4.7 km being the most popular choice. The visit ends with a soak in the natural geothermal hot spring near the campsite.
The return journey follows the Sigölduleið road, stopping at the blue-water volcanic crater of Hnausapollur and the multi-waterfall canyon of Sigöldugljúfur, locally known as the Valley of Tears.
The tour visits three further waterfall sites on the return leg. Háifoss offers dramatic height, Gjáin a quiet mossy oasis, and Hjálparfoss a scenic double waterfall set against basalt columns.
Following the final waterfall stops, the super jeep returns to Reykjavik, completing the full highland circuit. Drop-offs follow the same pickup points in reverse order.
