The Landmannalaugar Super Jeep Tour is an adventurous journey into Iceland’s remote highlands, where colorful volcanic landscapes and raw natural beauty define the experience. Traveling in a specially modified Super Jeep allows access to rugged highland roads and unbridged river crossings that are unreachable by standard vehicles, making the journey itself a key part of the adventure.

The tour leads through the dramatic interior of Iceland toward the Landmannalaugar region, famous for its vibrant rhyolite mountains and striking contrasts of color shaped by volcanic and geothermal forces. Along the way, travellers visit several remarkable highland sights, including Hjálparfoss, where multiple streams cascade over dark basalt formations, and Sigöldufoss, known for its wide cascades and intense turquoise water.

The journey continues to Ljótipollur, a volcanic crater lake with deep blue water surrounded by vivid red volcanic slopes, offering one of the most striking color contrasts in the highlands. A stop at Frostastaðavatn provides calm reflections of the surrounding mountains and a quieter moment within the dramatic landscape.

At Landmannalaugar, travellers experience one of Iceland’s most iconic highland regions, known for its unique geology and sweeping volcanic scenery. Short walks and viewpoints allow time to explore and photograph the area, while the guide shares insight into the formation and history of this extraordinary landscape.

This tour is ideal for travellers seeking a true highland experience, combining off-road adventure, remote scenery, and some of Iceland’s most colorful and impressive natural landmarks in a single day.

The Landmannalaugar Super Jeep Tour includes all essential services for a safe and well-organized highland adventure.

The tour includes transportation in a specially modified Super Jeep, designed for rough highland roads and river crossings. An experienced local driver-guide is included throughout the journey, providing commentary and insight into the landscapes, geology, and history of the region.

The experience covers visits to Hjálparfoss waterfall, Sigöldufoss waterfall, Ljótipollur crater lake, Frostastaðavatn lake, and the Landmannalaugar area. All access, parking fees, and applicable local taxes and insurances are included in the price.

Food and drinks are not included, allowing travellers to bring their own snacks or packed lunch for the day.

Travellers should be prepared for Iceland’s changeable highland weather, which can be cooler and more unpredictable than in coastal areas. Warm, layered clothing is essential, along with a waterproof and windproof jacket and trousers.

Waterproof hiking boots with good grip are strongly recommended for walking on uneven, rocky, and sometimes wet terrain. A hat and gloves are advisable, even during summer.

It is recommended to bring a small backpack, a refillable water bottle, and snacks or a packed lunch, as food and drinks are not included. Sunglasses and sunscreen can be useful on clear days, and a camera or phone is recommended to capture the dramatic highland scenery.

  • Hjálparfoss Waterfall

    Hjálparfoss is a distinctive waterfall located in the Þjórsárdalur valley, where two streams merge and flow over a series of dark basalt rock formations. Unlike many single-drop waterfalls in Iceland, Hjálparfoss features multiple cascades that create a unique and symmetrical appearance. Surrounded by lava fields and volcanic landscapes, the waterfall offers a quiet and scenic stop that highlights the contrast between flowing water and Iceland’s stark geological terrain.

  • Sigöldufoss Waterfall

    Sigöldufoss is a striking highland waterfall known for its vibrant turquoise water and wide, multi-stream cascades flowing over dark volcanic rock. Located near Landmannalaugar, the waterfall is fed by glacial meltwater, creating strong color contrasts between the blue-green water and the surrounding black lava formations. Sigöldufoss is considered one of the hidden gems of Iceland’s highlands and offers an impressive example of the raw and colorful landscapes found in this remote region.

  • Ljótipollur Crater Lake

    Ljótipollur is a volcanic crater lake in the Landmannalaugar area, famous for its deep blue water and vivid red volcanic slopes. Despite its name, which translates to “Ugly Puddle,” the crater is widely considered one of the most beautiful volcanic lakes in Iceland.

    According to local interpretation, the name reflects the harsh and chaotic appearance of the landscape shortly after the eruption in the late 15th century, when fresh lava and ash dominated the area. Over time, erosion, vegetation, and the formation of the lake transformed the crater into the striking and colorful landmark seen today. The contrast between its name and its beauty makes Ljótipollur a memorable example of how Iceland’s landscapes evolve over time.

  • Frostastaðavatn

    Frostastaðavatn is a serene highland lake located near Landmannalaugar, known for its calm surface and striking reflections of the surrounding mountains. On clear days, the water mirrors the colorful rhyolite hills and volcanic terrain, creating one of the most photogenic scenes in the area. The lake lies along historic highland routes and offers a peaceful contrast to the more dramatic volcanic features nearby, making it a quiet and scenic stop in Iceland’s remote interior.

  • Landmannalaugar

    Landmannalaugar is one of Iceland’s most remarkable highland regions, famous for its colorful rhyolite mountains, geothermal features, and vast volcanic landscapes. The area displays vivid shades of red, yellow, green, and blue, created by mineral-rich rhyolite rock shaped by intense volcanic and geothermal activity.

    Landmannalaugar has long been an important stop along historic highland routes and is best known for its dramatic scenery and unique geological formations. Remote and visually striking, it offers a powerful introduction to Iceland’s highlands and is a highlight of any Super Jeep journey through the interior.
