About 2-Day Lónsöræfi and Geldingafell Route from Austurland

Hálendið, one of the most untouched and remote regions of Iceland, offers a unique opportunity for an exclusive and luxurious family adventure. This tour is specifically designed for travelers wanting to escape the crowds and immerse themselves entirely in the silence of the wilderness. CRITICAL WARNING: The F-roads leading into the Hálendið region are only open during the summer season, typically from late June to early September. Access is strictly prohibited and impossible during the winter months. Because of the rugged and challenging terrain, navigating this route requires a luxury super jeep driven by a professional guide to ensure your family's utmost safety and comfort. Day one begins around the tranquil waters of lake Sauðárvatn. As you travel, you will witness the breathtaking majesty of the Geldingafell mountains while leaving the crystal-clear views of Kelduárvatn behind. Concluding the day with an exclusive, secluded picnic on the shores of Hnútuvatn will truly make you feel deeply connected to the heart of Icelandic nature. On the second day, your journey continues toward the phenomenal Lónsöræfi nature reserve, famous for its vibrant rhyolite mountains. Along the route, you will absorb the mystical atmosphere of lake Kollumúlavatn and examine the striking geological formations at Sviptungur. The short walks among the orange, green, and yellow hues of the mountains will be a fascinating discovery for children and adults alike. Since the weather in the highlands is notoriously unpredictable, packing windproof and heavily insulated clothing is an absolute necessity. Thanks to the comfort of luxury travel, you can feel entirely safe while enjoying these once-in-a-lifetime vistas.
