About this activity

Explore Iceland's most dramatic volcanic landscapes in a single day, combining the otherworldly rainbow-hued mountains of Landmannalaugar with views of the legendary Hekla Volcano. This private full-day excursion takes you deep into the central highlands, a remote and raw wilderness few visitors experience, with personalized stops tailored to your interests and fitness level.

Landmannalaugar are often referred to as the Pearl of the central highlands. It is a status to live up to considering how many beautiful places there are to be found in the highlands of Iceland. But only by paying the area a visit is going to make you understand that it fully deserves the reputation it has.

Hekla Volcano is what could be referred to as a legend among the volcanoes in Iceland. It has erupted several times since Iceland was settled. Myths and terror has been created by the eruptions through the centuries. So there is no wonder that local people know so many stories related to the volcano.

This tour combines visits to those two magical places among other stops included in this tour.

If you ever have the chance to visit these places it is going to be something you will never forget.

Insider tips

  • ★Wear waterproof, layered clothing—highland weather changes rapidly even in summer; bring windproof outerwear regardless of forecast
  • ★Request morning departure to maximize daylight and reduce crowds if visiting during peak season
  • ★Bring sturdy hiking boots with good ankle support; many viewpoints involve uneven volcanic terrain
  • ★Pack high-energy snacks and water; limited facilities exist in the highlands, so self-catering is practical

Good to know

  • •11-hour duration includes 1–2 hours driving each way from Reykjavík plus exploration time; budget accordingly for a full day
  • •Landmannalaugar road (F208) is only accessible June–September; Hekla views are weather-dependent year-round
  • •High-clearance 4×4 vehicle is mandatory—standard cars cannot reach these areas safely
  • •Minimum group size or private rate applies; confirm final logistics and pickup location 24 hours before
  • •Not recommended for visitors with limited mobility due to remote terrain and volcanic rock surfaces
