Explore the Majestic Highlands of Iceland: Guided Tour of Landmannalaugar

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Iceland’s highlands on a guided tour of Landmannalaugar which are known as one of Iceland’s most remarkable geological wonders. The area is full of popular trails, natural hot springs and multi-colored mountains. Here is possible to take a short hike and then enjoy the geothermal pool to relax afterwards. 

Tour highlights: 

• Hjálparfoss: where the two rivers Þjórsá and Fossá meet in a stunning waterfall. 
• Háifoss: is the third highest waterfall in Iceland or 122 meters high and you will get the change to see the waterfall from above. It is a beautiful sight down a deep gorge. 
• Gjáin: Gjáin is one of Iceland's natural gems. In this lava area you will find beautiful columnar basalt and volcanic tuff which create spectacular formations. 
• Sigöldufoss: The waterfall was once part of a mighty glacial river but because of technological changes a hydroelectric power plant was located not far upstream in 1978 so the waterfall flow is rather gentle today.
• Hnausapollur: Puddle of deep blue color formed in an eruption in 871, few years before Iceland's first settlers reportedly arrived.
