This private excursion is perfect for travelers who want to explore the Highlands with an expert local guide, seeing waterfalls, lakes, volcanic craters, and colorful mountains.

The adventure begins in Reykjavik, where you'll meet the expert local guide leading the tour. Since this trip is a private excursion, you won't have to wait for anyone else to join you, and you can head off as soon as you're ready.

Private trips also mean you can tailor the route to your group's preferences, spending more or less time at each attraction. Your guide will provide expert insight into the places you're visiting, and you can ask as many questions as you want.

The Icelandic Highlands, covering about 40 percent of the country's landmass, offers a rugged and remote landscape shaped by volcanic activity and glaciers and characterized by vast lava fields, steaming hot springs, and majestic mountains.

Your first stop on this extraordinary expedition is Landmannalaugar, renowned for its surreal, multi-colored mountains. You'll see colors ranging from vibrant reds and oranges to greens and blues, created by centuries of volcanic activity.

Take a moment to explore the otherworldly landscapes on foot, immersing yourself in the natural wonders surrounding you.

Continuing your journey, you'll discover the picturesque Haifoss waterfall, one of Iceland's tallest cascades, plunging into a dramatic canyon below. Capture the moment with photos or soak in the tranquility of this oasis.

Next, you'll venture to the stunning Sigoldufoss waterfall, where you'll see crystal-clear waters cascading into a bright-blue plunge pool below.

Listen to the soothing sounds of nature as you take in the beautiful surroundings, with panoramic views of the Icelandic wilderness stretching out before you.

Next, you'll visit the mesmerizing Ljotipollur lake, nestled among volcanic craters and jagged peaks. Marvel at the reflections of the surrounding mountains on the calm waters as you breathe in the fresh air.

Your adventure concludes with a visit to the magnificent Blahylur volcanic crater. Explore the rocky terrain around the crater, where you'll encounter unique rock formations and unbeatable vistas of the surrounding landscapes.

After a fantastic day in the Highlands, your guide will take you back to Reykjavik in time for the evening.
