Pick up and departure from your hotel at 09:00 to Þingvellir national park, site of the ancient Viking parliament, here we get a good view over the rift valley where the continents meet. Next we see the spouting hot springs in the Geysir area then the famous Gullfoss waterfall which will be our last stop before entering the highlands. We drive the trail across the highlands to Hveravellir geothermal area where we will end our day. The hot spring area, natural hot pool and magnificent view to the glaciers are the main attractions.

Day 2:  Hveravellir – Skagafjörður- Grettislaug Hot Spring
Heading north on the highland mountain tracks we descend in the great valley of Skagafjörður region. Visit to the small 19th century turf church at Víðimýri and the Glaumbær folk museum.  Glaumbær is actually a 19th century farm made of turf and stones. Continuing northwards we now drive to the Village Sauðárkrókur and on to Reykjaströnd, the coast following steep mountains on the west side of Skagfjörður fjord.  There at the very end of the world (or almost) we find a small and tidy hot spring once used by the Saga’s hero Grettir. Night in a country side guesthouse or hotel. 

Day 3: Skagafjörður- Laugafell
In the morning an optional rafting or a horse ride tour is on the menu for those who want.  We then head to the south driving mountain tracks to Laugafell an isolated mountain hut situated next to a comfortable hot spring just ready for eager bathers.  If time allows, afternoon drive to the shepherds hut Gráni standing close to the great Jökulsá river. Night in a mountain hut.

Day 4: Laugafell – Landmannalaugar
We will follow the mountain track leading us eastward east of the Hofsjokull glacier towards Nýidalur and then crossing the Sprengisandur desert to Landmannalaugar. Some of the most beautiful scenery of Iceland is found in the Torfajökull Massif in the South Icelandic Highlands. Here we can find the most famous hot spring for bathing surrounded by adventure like landscape of unreal beauty. We reach Landmannalaugar in the afternoon after a stop at the Ljótipollur Lake or ”Ugly Pond”, a eruptive fissure, which was created during an enormous eruption in 1470. In spite of its name the crater is uniquely impressive and the surroundings stand no comparison to other such natural phenomena in the country. Once we’re in Landmannalaugar we will soak ourselves in the hot river to relax and wash of the travel dust. Mountain hut Landmannalaugar, sleeping bag accommodation.

Day 5: Landmannalaugar - Skofluklif
We leave Dómadalur (Dooms valley) and set the course uphill, climbing as high as 1000 meters above sea level with our jeep to enjoy the fascinating view over the Torfajökull area. We are at the edge of the largest geothermal areas in Iceland where fire and ice create spectacular ice caves with the hot springs constantly working underneath the icecap. In Hrafntinnusker area you will find all the colours that you can possibly imagine in nature. This is a land of unreal beauty, hardly found anywhere else on earth. We head south through the highlands, cross countless rivers and blaze across the black desert of Mælifellssandur until we reach the refuge at Skofluklif. We will hike across the hills in the evening to a very remote pool called Strútslaug. Accommodation: Skófluklif mountain hut in sleeping bags.
