Hekla, Iceland

Iceland: Highlands to Ice Caves 8 days

8 days

Remote Iceland - Volcanoes, glaciers and mountains

Iceland’s volcanic landscapes, geothermal activity and remote wilderness come together on a 8 day journey that ventures well beyond the usual routes. Begin in Reykjavík before heading into the Golden Circle and towards Langjökull, combining geothermal experiences with time in the mountains and an exhilarating snowmobile ride. The Highlands bring a wilder perspective, with the colourful geothermal valleys of Kerlingarfjöll, glacial rivers and the volcanic landscapes around Hekla. Further south, black sand beaches, waterfalls and the Katla Ice Cave reveal another side of the island, before the journey returns through the volcanic southwest. Along the way, private Super Jeep excursions provide access to some of Iceland’s more remote corners.
