Description
Explore the wilderness of East Iceland on this small-group summer super jeep tour through fertile valleys and remote highlands, with canyons, a warm geothermal waterfall, and a rebuilt turf farm.
The super jeep takes you beyond the reach of regular cars, and the tour has a slow travel style, so there's time to take in the scenery.
The tour starts at the Egilsstadir Campsite, or you can be picked up at guesthouses in the Breiddalsvik and Egilsstadir areas. After meeting your local guide, you set off in the super jeep.
First, you ride through Jokuldalur Valley, passing waterfalls on the way to Studlagil Canyon, known for its basalt columns.
You then continue to the deep ravines of Hafrahvammagljufur Canyon.
Next, you reach Laugarvalladalur Valley, where a naturally warm geothermal waterfall flows into the valley's main river. You can bathe or shower under the warm water.
From there, you head to Karahnjukar Dam, part of one of Europe's largest hydroelectric power plants, with views of the canyon below.
On the way back, you visit Saenautasel Turf Farm, a rebuilt Icelandic turf farm in the highlands, where you get a feel for life on a remote highland farm about a century ago. Entrance is included.
