About this experience

Landmannalaugar in Iceland is an absolute unique place
Landmannalaugar in Iceland is a magnificent place. Lava field surrounded by mountains of colorful Rhyolite and one of the most popular places for hiking.
Landmannalaugar actually means “Land mans pool”, because of the natural geothermal pools in the area.
In the past, it was a welcome place for travellers who had traveled the country on horseback or on foot, to stop and bathe.
So do not forget to bring your swim suit and a towel with you on the trip!
This is a Landmannalaugar tour with an optional easy/moderate two hours hike.

Itinerary
The Black Sand Valley
The South Coast offers The Black Sand Beach, on this tour we offer you the Black Sand Valley. We will make a stop at a top of a hill where there is a view over a valley covered with volcanic ash from the historical volcano Hekla. A place where you really feel like you’ve been stranded on the moon.

Landmannalaugar
Here we do a little hike and bathe in a natural hot spring.
Welcome to Landmannalaugar in Iceland. We will stop here for a few hours. The guide will offer you a hike up to Brennisteinsalda. During the hike your are surrounded by nature so peculiar that you would hardly be surprised if you saw an elf running by. The colorful rhyolite mountains and some small hot springs scattered all over close to Brennisteinsalda with a mystical steam rising up from them. When returning to the huts, after about two hours of hiking, there still is enough time to take a bath in the natural pool.

Hnausapollur Crater
Hnausapollur is a huge crater on our way from Landmannalaugar. The view over the crater is exceptionally beautiful with high contrast, red lava and the blue lake, makes this stop really wonderful.

The Valley of Tears
The magical Sigöldugljúfur canyon has become one of the main instagram spots in Iceland. It is quite an extraordinary natural wonder with its many small spring-fed streams, small ponds, crystal clear waterfalls, colorful vegetation, and fascinating cliffs.
