Embark on a full-day adventure through the rugged and breathtaking landscapes of Iceland’s Highlands with our Private Landmannalaugar Tour. Departing from Reykjavík at 8am, this 8-10 hours journey takes you deep into some of Iceland’s most dramatic and remote natural wonders combining raw beauty, off the beaten path exploration, and unforgettable photo opportunities.
Along the way, you’ll visit a series of iconic waterfalls: the twin cascades of Hjálparfoss, the towering Háifoss, and the glacial-blue stream of Sigöldufoss.
The Highlands are also home to striking crater lakes. Bláhylur a perfectly still, electric blue lake sits near a group of vibrant “bleeding craters,” where rust colored earth creates one of the best drone photography spots in the region. Ljótipollur, with its deep red volcanic rim and glassy surface, is equally stunning.
The journey culminates in Landmannalaugar, one of Iceland’s true natural wonders. Known as the “People’s Pools,” this geothermal paradise features colorful rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and steaming hot springs. Whether you’re up for a short hike or just want to relax in a natural hot spring, the experience is tailored to your pace and preference.
This isn’t just sightseeing it’s a deep dive into Iceland’s wild heart. You’ll return to Reykjavík around 6-7 pm, full of fresh air, mountain views, and unforgettable memories.

🌊 Hjálparfoss Waterfall
Nestled in a lava field near Þjórsárdalur valley, Hjálparfoss is a striking twin waterfall where two streams merge into a serene, basalt-lined pool. Its name means “Help Falls,” a nod to the relief it provided early travelers crossing the rugged highlands.
🌊 Háifoss Waterfal
As one of Iceland’s tallest waterfalls at 122 meters, Háifoss plunges dramatically into a deep canyon carved by the Fossá River. The surrounding cliffs and panoramic views make this a jaw-dropping stop, especially with the nearby volcano Hekla in the backdrop.
🌊 Sigöldufoss Waterfall
Sigöldufoss is a hidden gem tucked along the highland route to Landmannalaugar, known for its turquoise waters and dramatic contrast against the dark volcanic rock. It’s a peaceful, lesser-known spot that feels untouched and serene.
💧 Bláhylur Lake
Also known as Hnausapollur, Bláhylur is a stunning crater lake with deep blue water set within red volcanic slopes. Its surreal colors and mirror-like surface make it a favorite stop for photographers and nature lovers alike.
💧 Ljótipollur Lake
Despite its name meaning “Ugly Puddle,” Ljótipollur is anything but ugly — it’s a brilliant, blue crater lake framed by red slopes and lava formations. It was formed after a volcanic eruption in 1477, and today it’s a dramatic example of Iceland’s raw geological beauty.
🏞️ Landmannalaugar – 'People’s Pools'
Located in the heart of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, Landmannalaugar is famous for its multicolored rhyolite mountains and geothermal activity. The name “People’s Pools” refers to the area’s natural hot springs, long used by locals and travelers to rest and recharge.
♨️ Natural Hot Spring
A warm river flows through the Landmannalaugar valley, creating a perfect bathing spot surrounded by rhyolite hills and lava fields. It’s the ultimate way to relax after a hike — naturally heated, mineral-rich, and completely wild.
