The tour will be guides by a professional geologist, which give you the opportunity to explore the breathtaking landscape from a different and unique perspective.
This tour will give you enough time to enjoy the beauty of Icelands highlands without being tied to a tight times schedule.
The Tour highly depends on weather and road conditions and is only offered between the 15th of June and the 15th of September (This can change, depending on road closures).
Our first stop is marking the beginning of the highlands of Iceland. In the shadow of the impressive volcano Hekla lies the beautiful Waterfall Hjálparfoss. The rivers Fossá and Þjórsá fall at a 45° angle to each other into the same lake and form a magical place, which is surrounded by impressive basalt columns. Just downstream from Hjálparfoss you will get a view of Iceland's second-largest hydroelectric power station, Búrfell.
Just a few kilometers upstream of Hjálparofss we will find another impressive waterfall of the highlands. The Fossá river falls over 120m down into a canyon and forms one of Iceland's highest Waterfalls. The breathtaking view down the riverbed will show us also a second waterfall Granni, right next to Háifoss. In the colorful layers of the canyon, we can see how huge eruptions in the past formed the landscape of the highlands.
The most beautiful “ugly puddle” in Iceland. This explosive crater formed during an eruption a few hundred years ago and shows impressively the forces of nature. The different colors of this place make it the perfect foto location. The red lava rock, the green moss, and the blue water of the lake form an impressive contrast.
