If the river is not swollen, it is possible to hike the length of Landmannalaugar, a task that usually takes about three days.

There are other activities to occupy you during the hike. There is a tourist hut with a camping area. This hut can accommodate 110 people, but it is difficult to drive pegs into the ground. You are allowed to use rocks to hold down tents when the wind becomes too high, but you must return these rocks to wooden crates after use as the area is part of a larger nature reserve.

However, you may decide to just get a permit for fishing or go for a swim. However you decide to spend your time in Landmannalaugar, be sure you know what to expect during the season and how to take care of yourself in the highlands.
