This is an incredible day tour to the southern highlands of Fjallabak where we´ll be visit the wonders of Iceland´s Landmannalaugar and Hekla volcano areas. A bubbling wonderland of caramel coloured peaks, soothing hot springs, winding lava flows and crystal clear lakes.
Landmannalaugar, with the active volcano Hekla in its neighborhood, is one of Iceland's most unique destinations and a must for all those who love to explore the great outdoors. This is one of the most active geothermal areas flanked by rhyolite mountains and steaming hot springs offering plenty of activities and hiking trails. A multicolored mixture of black lava, green moss, red iron, blue & green mountains of ryolite and sulphur and much more forms a perfect setting for a great day of hiking.
You will be picked up in Reykjavik and from there we head south. After arrival we will set off on a 4 hour hike through strangely sprawling lava fields of Laugahraun, Vondugil canyon, and the impressively saturated mountain of Brennisteinsalda. As we travelback down through the Grænagil canyon, you'll get to see its carved characteristics as a result of a geodynamic activity of mountains, volcanoes, and glacial rivers. This is a easy to moderate scenic hiking tour in amazing landscapes which you wont want to miss!
Afterwards you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the natural hot pool, where hot and cold water flow out from beneath Laugahraun.
Please remember to take swimwear and a towel with you.
