A fantastic day on another planet - We had a fantastic day visiting Kellingarfjoll. It’s a long drive (4 hours) but our guide was very friendly and a great driver ! The landscapes there are fascinating, it’s like another planet.

Majestic, colorful, otherworldly - We spent a magnificent day with Raynir visiting the highlands of Iceland. We drove along the Kjolur pass into the interior and spent about 2 hours walking around kerlingarfjoll - a geothermal area with colorful hills, sulphuric deposits, bubbling mud, boiling water,and steaming pools. Along the way we drove past a lovely waterfall carving a narrow canyon where my husband got to fly his drone. We saw a highland sheep roundup, drove between Iceland’s second and third largest glaciers and on the way back walked around Hveravellir -another geothermal area with whistling cones, more boiling pools of various colors and a tiny geyser. This spot also had a pretty soaking pool. Raynir was prompt, kind, knowledgeable, warm and funny - I highly recommend him for any of the extensive tours he does in this area.

See The Highlands! - I had an amazing time with Reynir in the Highlands. He was a fantastic guide, and both the information and the scenery were unforgettable. If you're spending time in Iceland, it's hard to get off the main paved roads and visit the interior of the country, so I'd highly recommend this as a tacked-on day to the rest of your Icelandic adventure. It felt like I was getting to see such an interesting part of the country that I never would have been able to on my own.
Also, we had some poor weather, but it was no problem - the scenery and whole experience are great in the rain, too!

Wonderful day! - This was a magical experience! The day flew by. The landscape was some of the most interesting we've seen in Iceland, and that is really saying something. The hike we did was incredible, and perfect. Reynir is an amazing guide, and has constructed a wonderful tour here. Don't miss it!

Icelandic Highlands! - Amazing tour of the Highlands! The Kerlingarfjöll geothermal area was some of the most beautiful landscape that we have ever seen! Reynir is a very experienced and knowledgable guide who kept us entertained the entire time. Turned into a private tour since we were the only ones on the tour that day!

Wonderful day trip to the Highlands - We have just returned home after spending two wonderful weeks in Iceland. One of the highlights was the excellent tour to the Highlands on August 28.
Reynir Már was our guide, and we were the only two on the tour that day so we got his undivided attention for the next 12 hours. He picked us up at our guesthouse right on time, and we were off on an adventure! Conversation flowed, and he explained interesting landmarks along the way. After bumping along on rough back roads we finally made it to our destination, and off we went on a one hour plus hike. In spite of the rain and wind, the scenery at Kerlingarfjöll was spectacular. It was so incredibly beautiful and his explanations so interesting that we didn't even mind the weather. After our hike, we went back to the jeep and headed to a waterfall for pictures. Our final destination was Hveravellir. The fabulous thermal pool was very relaxing after being out in the crazy weather.
We needed to bring our own drinks and snacks, and one of our stops at the beginning was at a place where we could purchase food for the trip (we were prepared, but appreciated the opportunity). Reynir was extremely courteous, patient, and a lot of fun to be with for the day. The trip was filled with breathtaking scenery, great conversation, and a fabulous guide. We would highly recommend it!
