Landmannalaugar Super Jeep Tour - Mountain Adventure

Located in Þjórsárdalur valley, Hjálparfoss—or “Help’s Falls”—is where two streams of the Fossá river meet in a quiet pool framed by basalt formations. In earlier centuries, this lush spot offered grazing and shelter to highland travelers crossing Iceland’s interior. 

Entering the Highlands, the next stop is Sigöldufoss—a 10-meter (33 feet) high waterfall on the Tungnaá river. Once a glacial torrent, the river was diverted by hydroelectric projects, leaving behind a smaller, spring-fed stream that now cascades in bright turquoise down a volcanic cliff. 

The tour continues to Ljótipollur, an explosion crater formed in 1477. Despite its name—“Ugly Puddle”—this striking lake is surrounded by iron-red hills and mineral-streaked slopes. The vivid colors and glassy surface make it a favorite spot for photographers. 

Reaching Landmannalaugar, travelers can explore the region’s famous rhyolite mountains and geothermal activity. Short hikes lead through lava fields, obsidian rock formations, and colorful hills. Those looking to relax can enjoy a soak in the warm natural pool, surrounded by steam vents and rugged scenery. 

On the return journey, if conditions allow, the tour includes a stop near Hekla—one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes. Sometimes called “The Gateway to Hell,” Hekla has shaped over 10% of Iceland’s landmass through repeated eruptions. From this viewpoint, travelers can photograph the iconic ridge and surrounding lava fields 

The tour concludes with a scenic drive back toward Reykjavík, arriving in the evening.
