Icelandic Highlands

About this escape

Raw, scenic and slightly humbling — Icelandic Highlands is European wilderness at its most rewarding. Volcanic black sand, geothermal pools and the wildest hike in Europe.

Going to Icelandic Highlands is amazing because you get the rare combination of striking landscapes, a deeply local culture, and the ease of European travel — short transfers, safe streets, and a partner network (GetYourGuide) that can put a complete trip together for you in minutes.
