Scenic Drive to the Highlands
Your adventure starts with a journey deep into Iceland’s highlands. As the city fades behind, the landscape transforms into sweeping lava fields, winding rivers, and dramatic mountain views. Riding in a Super Jeep makes the drive part of the experience, offering comfort while crossing rugged terrain.
Stop at Hjálparfoss Waterfall
The first stop is Hjálparfoss, a peaceful twin waterfall tucked between lava formations. The basalt columns surrounding the falls create a stunning natural frame, making it a perfect spot for quiet moments and great photos.
Visit Háifoss and Granni
Next, witness the power of Háifoss, one of Iceland’s tallest waterfalls. Its dramatic 122-meter drop into a steep canyon is unforgettable. Right beside it flows Granni, adding even more beauty to the view. Together, these twin cascades highlight the raw force of Icelandic nature.
Hnausapollur Volcanic Crater
Continue to Hnausapollur Crater Lake, where bright red volcanic rock meets deep blue water. This crater, formed by a powerful eruption, is a favorite stop for photographers and nature lovers. The striking colors make it a truly unique sight.
Explore Landmannalaugar
The journey then leads to Landmannalaugar, a geothermal paradise surrounded by rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains. Here, you’ll have free time to explore trails, admire lava fields, and enjoy panoramic views. The mix of colors, steam vents, and rugged formations creates a landscape unlike anywhere else.
Relax in the Geothermal Pool
End the day with a soak in Landmannalaugar’s natural hot spring. The warm, mineral-rich water offers a perfect way to relax after a day of exploration. Surrounded by untouched wilderness, it’s a peaceful moment to reflect on the day’s adventures.
Return Journey to Reykjavík
As the sun begins to set, you’ll make your way back to Reykjavík. The scenic drive offers one last look at Iceland’s raw beauty, wrapping up a day filled with waterfalls, craters, mountains, and unforgettable memories.
