The tour begins with a pick-up from Reykjavik in the morning. Once everyone’s picked up, we’ll start our journey by leaving the city and driving toward the island’s center. Kerlingarfjöll, the destination we’ll head to, is a rhyolite mountain range surrounded by geothermal fields and a glacial river. This is where two elements come together – volcanic mountains and steaming hot springs against glacial rivers and ice caps.
Before entering the remote mountain roads, we’ll make a quick stop at the famous Gullfoss Waterfall to admire its power up close. After a quick rest by the falls, we’ll continue our journey to the vibrant Kerlingarfjöll mountain range. Along the way, we’ll soak up the magical views of expansive lava fields and majestic glacier-topped mountains.
After reaching the Highland Base in the Ásgarður Valley, we’ll take a short break to stretch our legs and admire the beauty around us.
Finally, we’ll reach the famous Hveradallir, known as ‘the Valley of the Hot Springs.’ This is one of the largest geothermal valleys in Iceland. Some hot springs in the area are perfect for bathing, while others are best admired from a safe distance. The whole valley is surrounded by a picturesque rhyolite mountain range with glacier-covered mountain peaks. It is an amazing sight to see while hiking!
We’ll take our time to explore the valley and soak in the awe-inspiring landscapes before returning to Reykjavik in the evening. We’ll drop you off at the location where we picked you up.
