Capture the Colours – Laugavegur Photography Tour
Are you looking for an invigorating Super Jeep drive through the vast highlands of Iceland?
Do you want to photograph Iceland's magnificent highland landscapes with a local guide leading you to some of the most scenic spots in the Highlands?
Then this is the tour for you! Our main focus is on giving you the time you need to capture the perfect shots. We visit various locations, leaving you with a diverse collection of stunning photographs from the Icelandic Highlands.
We'll start our Super Jeep photography tour by driving toward the legendary Hekla volcano, sometimes referred to as "The Gateway to Hell." From there, we'll continue onward through Dómadalur Valley, which leads us to Frostastaðavatn and Ljótipollur. Only a few minutes away is one of our most picturesque stops, Landmannalaugar. This area is one of Iceland's most treasured gems, with its colorful rhyolite mountains and geothermal bathing pool surrounded by steep black lava fields.
After a good stop, we'll jump back into our Super Jeep and head toward the famous Laugavegur Trail. We'll drive down Reykjadalur Valley with its fascinating geothermal area. As we continue, we'll begin to see the Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull glaciers emerge. That's a stunning view you won't want to miss!
As we get closer to Route 1, we'll see yet another change in the landscape. Large ice caps come into view as we arrive at Emstrur Hut. These magnificent ice sheets make the perfect subject for a panoramic photograph!
As our journey draws to an end, let's hope we still have some space left on our memory cards as we take our final photographs of Eyjafjallajökull and Þórsmörk Valley, as seen from the western side of Markarfljótsgljúfur.
