Nature’s Bounty: Unforgettable Escapes with GetYourGuide’s Nature Experiences

Take a day trip to Iceland’s Landmannalaugar and the Hekla Volcano region, both of which are accessible from the Southern Highland of Fjallabak. Plunge into a bubbling paradise of caramel-coloured peaks, hot springs, winding lava flows, and crystal-clear lakes. Landmannalaugar, together with the nearby active volcano Hekla, is an incredible natural wonder and one of the most interesting places to visit in all of Iceland. Explore a geothermal region characterised by rhyolite mountains and steaming hot springs, one of the most active on Earth. Have lunch and then go off on a four-hour trek via the vast Laugahraun lava field, the Vondugil Canyon, and finally the peak of the colourful Brennisteinsalda mountain, where steaming vents and sulphur deposits can be found. Navigate the Graenagil Canyon, a chasm created by glacial rivers, ice age volcanoes, and other geodynamic features. Climb Bláhnkur, a volcano that is roughly 60,000 years old and offers spectacular views of the Landmannalaugar Valley, if time and weather permit. Soak in a natural hot pool, where hot and cold water meet to create ideal bathing conditions, as it emerges from beneath Laugahraun. Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit and a towel.
