About this tour

Some places you hear about. Some places you dream about. Landmannalaugar is the place that makes you forget every other landscape you’ve ever seen. A true highland gem!

Buried deep in Iceland’s volcanic highlands, this is one of the most remote and visually stunning destinations on earth — a world of electric-green lava fields, obsidian ridgelines, and rhyolite mountains that burn with shades of amber, violet, crimson, and gold. It doesn’t look real. It is.

There’s only one way to reach Landmannalaugar in a single day: a super jeep. These purpose-built giants ride on massive low-pressure tires that can wade across glacial rivers and power through terrain that would stop a normal vehicle cold. Your driver isn’t just a chauffeur — they’re a guide, an off-road expert, and someone who genuinely loves this landscape and ofcourse they are local with years of experince. Expect stories, insider knowledge, and more than a few white-knuckle river crossings.

Join us for a day of adventure on our Landmannalaugar Super Jeep tour. We start with a convenient pickup from your hotel/bus stop in Reykjavik, or from South Coast accommodation.

This tour is available from June to October each year.

Testimonials

Landmannalaugar
The highlands of Iceland are one of those places that just feel unreal, the pictures don't do it justice. Highly recommend going with Arctic Exposure on one of their fun trucks!
