About this experience

On this private premium day tour you will breathe in all that the Landmannalaugar area is about as well as the “area behind the mountains” but just the driving to Landmannalaugar is breathtaking, the landscape is amazing at every kilometer we will drive. Your private guide, a bestseller author of a book about this area will take you on a private hike in the area and after that we will relax in the natural pool in Landmannalaugar.

The Gjáin canyon, Ljótipollur volcanic crater, Frostastaðavatn lake are places which are so unique that they can never been described in a fair way with words - hardly in pictures. You just have to be there and on this tour we will.

The benefit of a private tour is flexibility which is not possible with bigger groups. We just stop longer at this place if we feel like it or change our plan within the tour schedule.
