About this experience
Explore the Majestic Highlands of Iceland: Guided Tour of Landmannalaugar
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Iceland’s highlands on a guided tour of Landmannalaugar which are known as one of Iceland’s most remarkable geological wonders. The area is full of popular trails, natural hot springs and multi-colored mountains. Here is possible to take a short hike and then enjoy the geothermal pool to relax afterwards.
Tour highlights:
- Hjálparfoss: where the two rivers Þjórsá and Fossá meet in a stunning waterfall.
- Háifoss: is the third highest waterfall in Iceland or 122 meters high and you will get the change to see the waterfall from above. It is a beautiful sight down a deep gorge.
- Gjáin: Gjáin is one of Iceland's natural gems. In this lava area you will find beautiful columnar basalt and volcanic tuff which create spectacular formations.
- Sigöldufoss: The waterfall was once part of a mighty glacial river but because of technological changes a hydroelectric power plant was located not far upstream in 1978 so the waterfall flow is rather gentle today.
- Hnausapollur: Puddle of deep blue color formed in an eruption in 871, few years before Iceland's first settlers reportedly arrived.
Please note, highland roads are closed from October 15 to June 1. During this period, we offer an alternative itinerary to ensure you still experience other wonderful spots of Iceland’s landscapes.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
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.
- 1Daytrips / TA Sport Travel 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.
- 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.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, to the card you paid with, 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 0 hours 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
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
- Not available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
