The first 150 km take us through idyllic Icelandic farmland. But from there it starts to get more interesting. Our journey takes us through a desert like volcanic landscape for more than 30km before we reach Landmannalaugar. Powerful geysers and glacial streams all add to the unique beauty of this fascinating place.
Crossing rivers and driving on coarse gravel roads on our way will give us an experience to remember. We will make a stop at Crater Lake Ljótipollur, formed in 1477 and now filled with a cobalt-blue deep lake. We also stop at lake Frostastaðavatn, before we reach our main destination. We will stop for 2-3 hours in Landmannalaugar and you can take a beautiful hike. After about an hour's hike we can unwind in a natural pool or explore the territory on our own before we head back. On our way back we will take the Dómadalur route that takes us through lava fields and between high mountains, there are lots of rivers we have to ford and see some magnificient waterfall.

It is a beautiful place to visit and it is good to do it with someone experienced and friendly, as it was Hilmar, who took us. It was a good experience and everything went well

We booked a private tour to fit in with our cruise ship arrival time. Communication from the company was excellent, and our guide Saga Jen was waiting for us as arranged. She is a passionate and knowledgable tour guide. She expertly drove us in a 4x4 to Landmannalaugar and back with additional stops at beautiful waterfalls. She looked after us well, stopping for refreshments and telling us all about the sights. Highly recommended!

We’ve been on several tours in Iceland by the time we did a private Landmannalaugar tour with Friend in Iceland and their tour was easily our favourite. Saga Jen was a fantastic driver and guide, safely navigating us through the highlands in a comfortable 4x4 car (Toyota Land Cruiser). As it's Iceland, be prepared with "all-weather gear". It would be a good idea to bring your own food too but Saga Jen dropped us off frequently in stores and shops so we never ran out of food and drinks. I would happily go on another private tour with Friend In Iceland again!
