Private Landmannalaugar 4x4 Super Jeep Adventure from Reykjavik, photo 2 — Photos: the activity supplier, via Viator

About this activity

Leave Reykjavik behind for a private day in the Icelandic Highlands, in a Super Jeep built for the rough gravel tracks to Landmannalaugar. The vehicle and your local driver-guide are only for your group, so the pace is yours. Your guide meets you at your accommodation or cruise terminal with a VAREN name tablet, helps with your bags and has water on request.

On the way you stop at Sigöldugljúfur, the Valley of Tears, where a turquoise river runs past small waterfalls, at the red-rimmed Ljótipollur crater lake and at Frostastaðavatn. At Landmannalaugar you have time to walk among colourful rhyolite mountains and lava fields, then relax in the natural hot spring.

In the Highlands, weather and road conditions decide the day, so stops may change. The Super Jeep takes up to 5 guests, one price per vehicle.
