Iceland Hot River Highlands Off Road Tour.

Tour Length: 2 days
Season: October - March
Things you will see on this Icelandic tour: Volcanoes, hot
springs, waterfalls, warm river to bathe in.
Languages: English (French, Scandinavian, German up on request.)
Some of the most beautiful scenery in Iceland can be found in the
Torfajökull Massif in the South Icelandic Highlands, ideal for a two-day
winter tour. We will stay overnight in a comfortable mountain hut right
next to a natural hot springs river, perfect for a relaxing bath under
the stars.

Day 1:
Pick up at your hotel in Reykjavík at 09:00. From Reykjavík we pass over
the mountain range of Hellisheiði and traverse the wide plains of
southern Iceland before hitting a country road by the foot of Mount
Hekla (last eruption 2000). At the foot of the Hekla volcano we climb
the road to the Sigalda hills. Traversing mysterious lava fields,
craters in their white winter coat and vast snowfields, we finally
arrive in Landmannalaugar. In the afternoon we put on our cross-country
skis or snowshoes to go for a hike in this rough and breathtakingly
beautiful region. At the end of a perfect day outdoors, you can enjoy a
warm bath in the hot springs river or assist the guide preparing a
delicious barbecue dinner.

Day 2:
We have breakfast in the early morning allowing our senses to absorb the
surrounding beauty and tranquility. We take a last look at the colorful
hot springs before starting the journey back across the mountain plateau
in the direction of the main road. Weather conditions permitting, we
pass by the waterfall Gullfoss and the hot springs of Geysir on our
return to Reykjavík.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD
vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There
are so many highway bound posers that never go off the
pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in
Iceland is really refreshing.
