Map outline: Natural Earth

Days 1–2 · Prepare in Reykjavík

Meet your guide and review the proposed outings, equipment, and conditions. A city beginning gives time to prepare before heading toward the interior.

Days 3–5 · Southern highland landscapes

Base near Hella for a specialist-guided Landmannalaugar outing when access permits. Choose walking distances that fit your ability; conditions can change the route completely.

Days 6–8 · Another perspective

Consider a separately arranged Kerlingarfjöll experience, or spend extra time in the south. These are separate guided chapters, not a promise of a direct road connection across the Highlands.
