Itinerary
Discover Landmannalaugar, a geothermal wonderland in Iceland’s highlands, renowned for its vibrant rhyolite mountains, hot springs, black lava fields, and surreal landscapes. Shaped by volcanic activity and erosion over centuries, the area features deep valleys, colorful rock formations, and textures found nowhere else on Earth. This adventure includes a ~3 hour (6.5 km) hike through some of Iceland’s most dramatic scenery, winding through the black lava of Laugahraun, the striking Vondugil Canyon, and up to Mt. Brennisteinsalda—its slopes painted with sulfur yellows, mossy greens, and red iron. You’ll descend through the vibrant Graenagil Gorge, named for its green rhyolite & obsidian black and blue hues. This secluded region has long been a favourite among adventurers. After the hike, unwind with a soak in a natural hot pool, surrounded by panoramic mountain views. The Landmannalaugar Day Hike is available with or without Reykjavík pick-up. If you're meeting us on-site, a 4x4 vehicle approved for F-roads is required. Don’t miss your chance to hike one of Iceland’s most stunning trails in this unforgettable landscape.
