      Hjálparfoss or the “Help’s Falls” is located in Þjórsárdalur valley, just north of one of the most active volcanos in Iceland, Hekla. The waterfall runs from the river Fossá that merges with Þjórsá, Iceland’s longest river, not far from the waterfall. Hjálparfoss is a beautiful, two-stepped waterfall that cascades down into a large plunge pool that is surrounded by very unique basalt rock formations. The waterfall is located about 30 km from the town Flúðir and it takes about 2 hours drive from Reykjavik. Þjófafoss and Háifoss are not far from Hjálparfoss.

      Þjófafoss or “thief falls” runs in the river Þjórsá, the longest river in Iceland, and is located in the middle of Merkurhraun lava field in the south of Iceland. Legend has it, as the name of the waterfall indicates, that thieves were drowned there for their crimes back in the days.

      A breathtakingly beautiful place lies hidden away in Þjórsárdalur valley upcountry in South-Iceland. It is called Gjáin and is for sure one of Iceland's pearls of nature. It is a delicate beauty, which we have to preserve and treat with utter respect. Rauðá river (Red River) runs through here.

    Perfect day in Iceland

    We communicated several times with Luke from home via email to customize our Iceland tour. He was always prompt in returning emails and in making suggestions to make our day perfect. Luke picked us up at the airport and then took us to some hidden gems that only a few people get to enjoy. We visited the Blue Lagoon spa and traveled to a few other places prior to Luke delivering us to our hotel. As a skilled photographer, Luke took pictures of us throughout the day, edited them and sent them to us online a week or so later…..all for no additional charge. Tina and I highly recommend Luke for any Icelandic private tour. He was fantastic!!

    Absolutely incredible experience!

    This highlands tour was incredible!! I booked last minute, and Luke was incredibly accommodating and professional. We saw some amazing and hidden spots in the highlands. Luke took some incredible picture and drone footage that he sent to me immediately. I would highly recommend booking a tour!

    Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep?

    +

    Included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 68 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep?

    +

    What happens to Private Full-day Hidden Highlands Tour from Reykjavík with Luke by Jeep if the weather is bad?

    +
