About this activity
What you will see:
Þjórsárdalur is one of the hidden treasures of Iceland, a beautiful valley full of amazing natural attractions. The area is lush with vegetation and offers a landscape of sharp contrasts such as flourishing birch woods, sandy lava fields, surprising rock formations, rivers and numerous picturesque waterfalls.
We continue our journey to the astonishing waterfall Hjálparfoss. This two-stepped waterfall, split over two separate flumes that joins at its base into a large plunge pool. You can take an easy descending walking path with long steps to join viewing platforms and get close to the shore of the wide pool. The waterfall is framed by beautiful basalt formations and lava structures.
Hnausapollur: a charming lake is located inside a crater. The deep blue of the water and the color of the mountains around are surreal. When you stand on the hill above the crater, the view is amazing and it is like looking over landscapes painted on canvas.
Frostastaðavatn: It is another wonderful lake, full of colors. The volcanic activity of the area has created a unique dream landscape, with lava flows who plunge directly into the blue and green deep water of the lake.
Landmannalaugar is a wonderful place with stunning geological curiosities known all over the world, a superb summary of mind-blowing landscapes, full of extraordinary wonders. This is a key layover for any traveler : real calm in full communion with nature. Volcanic activity has given way to a mountainous area that offers an exceptional range of contrasting colors. These cryolite mountains are among the most spectacular ones in Iceland. Lava flows, very visible, form chambers of a black raven color which enhance other orange shades. We will enjoy an easy trekking through the multicolored mountains. The walking path leads us to the volcano Brennisteinsfjöll “Sulfuric Mountain” which is probably the most colorful of Iceland : the yellow of sulfide superposes itself with the blue and black of lava fields, dotted of the green from lichens. It is magical to reach this place and see remarkable geothermal features. Panoramic views over Landmannalaugar Valley are unforgettable. This hiking of several hours is accessible to all, even to casual hikers. After this walk, you can enjoy a relaxing bath in the natural hot pool nestled at the foot of Laugahraun lava field. The hot springs has a perfect temperature at around 40 degrees for relaxing the body.
The crater lake Ljótipollur: a beautiful lake surrounded by dark-red crater walls. A surprising contrast of the nature…
Haifoss: the third-highest waterfall in Iceland. From the road it is hard to believe that a such massive show of nature takes place in the area. But as soon you will stand close to the fall, you will never forget this incredible vision on the valley.

I can't rave enough about this tour. It was unbelievable. My husband and I did a northern European cruise and one of our overnight stops was in Reykjavik. We knew we wanted to travel and see some of the non-touristy spots in central Iceland and definitely see the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar. Every stop we made was even more beautiful than the next. Our driver Adam was so knowledgeable and really made the trip that much better. Even though this tour is long, it was beyond worth it and I would recommend it again and again!
