Landmannalaugar Hiking tour with a pick-up in Reykjavik

Landmannalaugar hiking tour is a great day tour for you to explore the beautiful highlands of Iceland, it’s not an ordinary tour, it’s a kind of activity, where you actually do your own hike to explore the beauty of Iceland.

Landmannalaugar is located in the southern part of Iceland’s spectacular Highlands and is possibly the most amazing sight in them (though the competition is intense). Landmannalaugar overlooks a jet-black lava field, created by an eruption in 1477: offering stunning sights of amazing volcanic scenery. This contrasts magnificently with the place itself, which is made up of the Rhyolite Mountains: an incredible rock, that creates a wide spectrum of different colours on the mountainside. That’s right the mountains change color: offering shades of red, yellow, green, and pink all changing color according to the Sun’s rays. It truly is an untouched natural wilderness and is like no other place on earth.

Beneath these incredible colorful mountains, lies a naturally occurring hot spring, from which steam rises, and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to take an amazing natural bath. Hence its name: “The people’s pools”.

For those who chose to be picked up in Reykjavik, we will all meet together in Reykjavik, from where we will take the scenic drive to Landmannalaugar. Once we arrive, your friendly guide will give you a quick safety talk and tell you some more facts about this incredible area of mesmerizing natural beauty. Then, we will start the 4-hour hike, which is about 8-10km in distance and offers stunning views throughout. It covers the jet-black Laugahraun lava field; descends through the luscious Vondugil canyon and then climbs up Mt. Brennisteinsalda, whose colorful peak is typical of the area. Each spot offers incredible views and many opportunities for you to snap some amazing photos. Then we will start our descent: walking through the emerald green Graenagil gorge (green gorge in Icelandic) famed for its green rhyolite rocks and luscious vegetation. Then, we will visit the imposing Blahnukur Volcano (if we have time) and then take a dip in the legendary hot pool in Landmannalaugar. All of this is done to a stunning backdrop of truly majestic natural beauty: it is ineffable and words don’t do it justice. So book this amazing hiking experience today: we promise that you won’t regret it!
