Your tour starts when you are picked up from your accommodation. You will then meet your expert guide, leading you on your hike. This excursion is a private tour, so it will be just you and your group.

A private tour means you can take the hike at your own pace, and there's no need to wait for other guests.

On your way to Landmannalaugar, you will drive along a remote mountain trail, so relax and enjoy the surrounding landscapes as you travel.

Along the way, you will stop at some beautiful sights, including Raudufossar waterfall, Strutur volcanic crater, Ljotipollur volcanic crater lake, Sigoldugljufur canyon and Sigoldugljufurfoss waterfall.

You will arrive in Landmannalaugar ready to begin your hike. Landmannalaugar is a geothermal area in Iceland's highlands.

Nestled amidst colorful rhyolite mountains, this remote area boasts vibrant red, yellow, and green hues, a testament to the geological forces at play.

Landmannalaugar's name means "People's Pools," and its inviting natural hot springs provide respite and a chance to soak in the wild Icelandic landscape.

The hike is around 5-6.2 miles (8-10 kilometers in length) and will take about three to four hours to complete. The walk is moderate in difficulty and suitable for those with reasonable fitness levels.

You will be rewarded for your efforts with spectacular views of some of the natural features that Iceland is known for.

Along the way, you'll see black lava fields topped with green moss and brown, black, green, and red mountains.

One of the highlights of the hike is walking up a red waterfall. The waterfall is this color due to the soil's iron content, and it is a unique sight.

You'll walk through the Green Gorge, over the top of the Laugahraun lava fields, and past the brown sulfur mountains before returning to the starting point.

Once you've finished your hike, you'll get the opportunity to rest your legs and recover in one of the natural hot springs in the area. The hot springs here are untouched, providing you with an authentic experience.

Your guide will prepare a delicious meal for you and your group while you relax.
