About this experience

Join us on this remarkable one-day tour as we journey to the enchanting Landmannalaugar valley, nestled at the heart of Iceland's highlands. The name Landmannalaugar, which translates to 'the people's pools,' perfectly captures the essence of this extraordinary destination.


Our adventure begins with a scenic route through the Þjórsádalur Valley, named after the Þjórsá River, where nature unveils a captivating landscape. Sandy lava fields, meandering rivers, birch woodlands, peculiar rock formations, and cascading waterfalls paint a picturesque canvas before our eyes.


Our initial stop brings us to Hjálparfoss, affectionately known as the 'Help waterfall,' a true gem among Iceland's waterfalls. Here, the last vestiges of greenery greet us before we transition into the mesmerizing highlands, where multi-colored rhyolite mountains await. These kaleidoscopic peaks boast hues of pink, brown, green, yellow, blue, purple, black, and white sands, creating a breathtaking spectacle.


Continuing our journey, we arrive at the 'pearls of the highlands,' the captivating Ljótipollur, an explosion crater lake. Despite its name, which translates as 'Ugly puddle,' its crimson crater walls offer a sight of striking beauty that will undoubtedly inspire your camera.


Our ultimate destination is the renowned Landmannalaugar, nestled within the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. This surreal landscape is a haven for hikers, featuring popular routes like the Laugavegur trail, leading to the stunning Þórsmörk, and Hellismannaleið, known as 'The cave man route.' Here, you can soak in the natural hot springs of the Landmannalaugar oasis or take a leisurely stroll through the area. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit and a towel if you fancy a geothermal bath.


From the soothing warmth of Landmannalaugar's pools, we embark on an ascent to Mount Hekla, Iceland's queen of active volcanoes. Our specially modified jeeps carry us up to a height of 950 meters on the volcano's slopes, offering breathtaking panoramic views in every direction.


As this is a full day of exploration, there's a chance that, on the darkest winter days, you may witness the enchanting Northern lights as the tour comes to a close, adding an extra touch of magic to your unforgettable adventure.

Cancellation for this tour

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is closed F-roads or a highland storm — decided by the Road Administration and the driver. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Amazing Tours Iceland decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Questions on the day: [email protected] · +354 497 1373. How cancellations work in Iceland →

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Children under 8 cannot join this one.
  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 12 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    We personally had a great service (specifically Dominika ) from amazing tours. I emailed and dealt with them/her directly for a deal on 3 tours . Snowmobiling , helicopter and Northern lights. All were amazing! Northern lights are a natural occurrence and whilst seeing in bright green with the naked eye wasn't possible that night we did still see it faintly and the host was amazing and took some great shots and supplied some home made Coco 🤗the helicopter tour of the volcano area was so surreal! And the snowmobile tour was one of my favourite tours ever ! We got so lucky with snow the night before. Great tour operator and highly recommended !

    My friend and I were looking forward to this tour the most for our girls trip to Iceland and we were not disappointed! This was one of the best tours I've done while traveling abroad and such a great value. Close out of any other tabs you have open for snowmobiling, this is it! Not rushed, fun ride up to the glacier where you change, and get on your snowmobile. After the first leg of snowmobiling, your guide will take you to a newly discovered ice cave...its truly beautiful! After that, you'll snowmobile back. Our tour was filled with laughs, jokes, and informative facts about the glacier, ice cave, etc. Please don't pass this one up!

    My family enjoyed snowmobiling at the glacier. The view is amazing and the experience was one of a kind. They give you all the gear you need for the cold weather, which was nice. It is super cold at the top of the mountain, so hand and feet warmers are handy, if you could get some in advance!
