Journey Into the Heart of the Highlands
Leave the colourful streets of downtown Reykjavík behind and embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Icelandic Highlands. Your private driver will take you along the historic Kjölur route, where the landscape transforms from coastal lowlands into a vast, otherworldly expanse of glaciers, volcanic deserts, and steaming geothermal fields.
Your destination is Kerlingarfjöll—a remote mountain range famous for its vibrant rhyolite peaks, hot springs, and dramatic contrasts of ice and fire. This is Iceland at its most raw and untouched. Sit back, take in the ever-changing scenery, and arrive ready for adventure.
The Journey
Your driver will collect you from downtown Reykjavík and head north into the interior. The four-hour journey follows the legendary Kjölur route, one of Iceland’s most spectacular highland roads. As you leave civilisation behind, the landscape transforms dramatically—vast glacial rivers, volcanic deserts stretching to the horizon, and the imposing forms of Langjökull and Hofsjökull glaciers dominating the skyline.
The Kerlingarfjöll mountain range gradually comes into view, its colourful rhyolite peaks contrasting with snow-capped summits and steaming geothermal vents. Your driver will deliver you to the Highland Base, ready to explore one of Iceland’s most remarkable natural wonders.
Please note: This transfer is available during summer only. Maximum 4 passengers due to highland road conditions.
