Laki Craters Day Tour

Come and see Iceland     

YOU AIN´T SEEN NOTHING YET !

Laki Craters Expedition tour takes you through rough mountain terrain around Iceland’s most famous craters that erupted in 1783-4, resulting in the largest lava flow in a single eruption in recorded history . You will discover the area in close proximity by walking into the craters and through the lava field. (See video of Laki Craters at the bottom of the page )

The road to Laki is a rough mountain road and vehicles must cross unbridged rivers that swell in heavy rain.

We start the tour by driving to the Laki Craters (about 1,5-2 hours driving). When we arrive  to  the mountain Laki, we will walk with you on top of the mountain. From there we can see over the row of the craters and to the vatnajökull glacier and on our way down we will walk with you into the craters . From the mountain Laki  is about 15 minutes driving to the Tjarnargígur(Tjarnarcrater) wich is large crater with water in. From tjarnarcrater you can hike the Eldborgarfarvegur that is the same way that the lava went from the Large Tjarnarcrater. This is about 1 hour walk and your quide will move the car to another parking place were you will meet the car. Next stop is Fagrifoss, a beautiful large waterfall. Our last stop in the tour is at Fjaðrárgljúfur, a fantastic large gorge were you will walk downhill on the site of the gorge and meet the car at the parking place at the end of it. (about 20 min easy walk).

This is a beautiful sightseeing tour in a unique landscape with a captivating view of two glaciers Vatnajökulland Mýrdalsjökull. You will discover the area in close proximity by walking into the craters and through the lava field.  We will stop at the beautiful hidden Fagrifoss waterfall and the breath-taking Fjaðrárgljúfurgorge where passengers can get out and walk downhill by the gorge (about 20 min easy walk)
