About This Tour

The island of fire and ice. The island of volcanoes, Vikings, trolls, elves and glaciers. The highlands of Iceland have it all.

Seeing all these colors in the landscape with glacier and water around it is just surreal.

Landmannalaugar has mainly been made underneath a glacier during the big ice age which ended about 10.000 years ago. This area is mixed with all kind of landscape and soil. Everything from red, green, brown, black to blue. This area is also filled with hot water which means you can bathe in one of Icelands wild hot springs.

After being picked up from your hotel you will head on this great adventure to the highlands to fight Icelandic trolls and try to avoid being in the elves way.
The adventure actually begins way before you enter Landmannalaugar. Driving past one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland, crossing rivers, driving on a mountain trail and marveling at the spectacular landscape and colors on the way.
