PROGRAM
DAY 1: REYKJAVIK - LANDMANNALAUG
The tour starts with the Reykjavík tourist info at Reykjavik's City Hall (Ráðhúsið) by Tjörnin pond at 7.00 a.m. where you meet your guide. It's located in downtown Reykjavik and within walking distance from most hotels, hostels, and guesthouses in central Reykjavik. We also offer to pick up at selected locations around Reykjavik (see other pick-up locations in the tour description).
After introductions, we board the scheduled bus that takes us to Landmannalaugar. The drive takes about 3-4 hours. On the way, we travel along the south coast and then turn inland and pass Iceland's most active volcano, Hekla.
Our hike starts in Landmannalaugar as we walk through this geothermal wonderland and look at the colorful mountains and steaming hot springs. The trail takes us through the rough lava field, Laugahraun. From there, we move to the slopes of Brennisteinsalda, which is known worldwide for its incredible spectrums of colors and photogenic looks. We walk by the beautiful hot spring Storihver before crossing into the obsidian desert by Hrafntinnusker. Storihver is one of the very few green grounds we will encounter on this day.
Hiking: 4 hrs
Distance: 8km

DAY 2: LANDMANNALAUGAR - LAKE ALFTAVATN
After a good sleep and a nutritious breakfast, we will be energized and ready to go again! Pitch-black obsidian desert called Hrafntinnusker, vibrantly colored Reykjafjöll rhyolite mountains, and the Jökultungur area are at the top of the agenda today. Geothermal activity has turned these craggy gullies into burnt and sometimes vivid yellows and reds over time. These colors contrast dramatically with the soft pale sandy hues around them. The top of Jökultungur is a great place to enjoy views over the whole Fjallabak (behind the mountain) area and Álftavatn lake, where we will be spending the night. We have to cross a river on foot to get to our camp. Wading a river is usually a fascinating experience for overseas hikers.

We start the day with another refreshing stream crossing as we make our way past the green volcano Stórasúla and into the black desert of Maelifellssandur. On our way, we will see Hattafell, a volcano with a strange flat top. We walk through this black glacial desert and into Emstrur, where there is a chance to enjoy a view of Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull glaciers. Emstrur is a lush region where farmers used to graze their sheep during the summertime.
We turn off the path to look at Markarfljotsgljufur, an approximately 200 m deep canyon carved out by the glacial river Markarfljot.
Hiking: 6-7 hrs

On the way, we pass by a formation of lava in a waterfall shape made in the eruption. Here you have a chance to see how Iceland is still being built, formed, and shaped by its nature. We will be greeted with a fantastic view over the valley.

DAY 6: THORSMORK - REYKJAVÍK
We have a leisurely breakfast in the camp in the morning before exploring the incredible surroundings. The volcanos Katla and Eyjafjallajokull surround the Thorsmork valley. For thousands of years, these volcanoes and the glaciers that cover them have carved the sandstone in Thorsmork into surreal sculptures dotted with moss and arctic birch trees. We hike up the mountain Valahnukur for a fantastic view of the valley. Those who wish can also spend the day relaxing and enjoying nature in this beautiful place.
We return to Reykjavik in the early evening at around 18:30 and offer drop off at Miklabraut 101 Orkan gas station (by Kringlan shopping mall), Reykjavik Campsite, and the City Hall on Vonarstræti. From there, taxis and local buses are available.
