Working with Stefan was a terrific. We wanted to change to make some last minute changes in the tour we had arranged and he accommodated our interests perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to see any part of Iceland.

Your Reykjavik tour itinerary

Travel from Reykjavik across a mountain pass over the the South coast lowland and then onward into the wilderness of Iceland. It is necessary to drive through some unbridged streams en route to the gravel road that is officially only open in summer. A visit to Landmannalaugar is not complete without a short hike in a lava field 500 years old and a bath in the local hot spring. I've been taking people to this magical place for over 20 years and the place never disappoints. It is a geological wonder. Our main stop is at Landmannalaugar where you can hike for a couple of hours to see a geothermal area and lava field, and / or take a bath in a natural hot spring. On our way to Landmannalaugar we'll see some of Iceland's wild interior highlands, glacier rivers and hydro electric power stations. We'll see the fragile arctic vegetation typical for Iceland's highlands and amazing volcanic formations. I can accommodate up to 23 persons on this tour, please contact me for price for groups with more than 4 persons.
