Journey Through the Geothermal Wonders of Kerlingarfjöll on an Exclusive Private Highland Escape


Experience an intimate and sophisticated journey into the wild heart of Iceland with a private departure from Reykjavík. You will be picked up in a luxury 4x4 vehicle, designed to handle the rugged terrain while providing plush comfort for the long drive ahead. As you leave the city, your expert local guide will share stories about the landscape, while you enjoy curated refreshments, setting the tone for a day defined by style, comfort, and deep exploration of the remote interior.


The route follows the historic Kjölur Highland Route, an ancient pass that winds between the massive Langjökull and Hofsjökull glaciers. This path offers a unique perspective on Iceland’s raw interior, characterized by moss-covered lava fields and powerful glacial rivers. The isolation of this region is palpable, as the landscape remains as wild and untamed as it was centuries ago, providing a stark and beautiful contrast to the more populated coastal areas of the island.


Upon arrival at Kerlingarfjöll, you will enter a geothermal wonderland that feels truly otherworldly. The area is defined by steaming vents, vibrant sulfuric hills, and jagged rhyolite peaks that pierce the sky. You will have the chance to hike through the Hveradalir Geothermal Valley, where the contrast between white snowfields and boiling mud pools creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The mist rising from the earth adds a layer of mystery to this already dramatic and visually stunning geological site.


Throughout the hike, you can choose trails that match your energy levels and interests, ensuring a personalized experience in this volcanic paradise. Whether you are looking for panoramic views from the mountain ridges or a closer look at the bubbling geothermal activity, the day is yours to command. As the sun begins to set over the highlands, you will return to your vehicle for a comfortable drive back, reflecting on the profound beauty of Iceland's interior.

Great location as a base camp for Kerlingarfjoll! Friendly staff and it has a nice outdoor hotspring with a great view of the mountain and river! The hot spring has a clean, luxurious shower/change room and some lockers. Only downside is that the outdoor hotspring closes at 10pm along with the indoor sauna and shower. That is all understandable for its remote location. Will come again!

The activity was amazing! The big issue, the car was broken when we were coming back to Reikiavik..

We stayed at the campsite and very much enjoyed our time! The staff is friendly and there is a spacious heated common room. Bathrooms were very clean and modern. Not sure how busy it gets mid summer but it was very quiet when we were there. There’s some beautiful hikes to do in the area and we’d love to come back here to do them all. Would recommend staying here!
