What to expect?
The tour will be guided by a professional geologist, which allows you to explore the breathtaking landscape from a different and unique perspective. This tour will give you enough time to enjoy the beauty of Icelands Highlands without being tied to a tight times schedule.
Our first stop is marking the beginning of the highlands of Iceland. In the shadow of the impressive volcano, Hekla, lies the beautiful Waterfall Hjálparfoss. The rivers Fossá and Þjórsá fall at a 45° angle to each other into the same lake and form a magical place, which is surrounded by impressive basalt columns. Just downstream from Hjálparfoss, you will see Iceland's second-largest hydroelectric power station, Búrfell.
Just a few kilometers upstream of Hjálparofss we will find another impressive waterfall of the highlands. The Fossá River falls over 120m into a canyon, forming one of Iceland's highest Waterfalls. The breathtaking view down the riverbed will also show us a second waterfall, Granni, next to Háifoss. In the colorful canyon layers, we can see how massive eruptions in the past formed the landscape of the highlands.
The most beautiful “ugly puddle” in Iceland. This explosive crater formed during an eruption a few hundred years ago and shows the forces of nature impressively. The different colors of this place make it the perfect photo location. The red lava rock, the green moss, and the blue water of the lake form an impressive contrast.
Landmannalaugur is one of the most famous hiking areas in Iceland's highlands. Here we will go on a small 2 – 3 hours hike and explore the breathtaking landscape. Geothermal hot springs and mineral-depraved rocks form colorful mountains, including a nearly unreal scenery. You will feel like you are hiking on a different planet. During the hike, we can discover many geological features of this magical place. And don't forget your swimsuit, after the walk, we can relax in Iceland's highlands springs and enjoy the evening before we drive back to Reykjavik.
