Discover the untouched wilderness of East Iceland on this unforgettable super jeep tour through remote highlands, hidden valleys, and geothermal wonders. Perfect for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, this tour unveils a quieter side of Iceland that few get to experience.
Far from the crowds, East Iceland feels timeless and pristine, with dramatic canyons, moss-covered hills, and peaceful roads. You can enjoy Iceland’s natural wonders in a calm, authentic setting, without the noise and rush of busy tour groups.
Your 10-hour adventure begins at the Egilsstadir Campsite or your chosen pickup location at guesthouses in Breiddalsvik and Egilsstadir. After meeting your local guide, you'll hop into a super jeep, custom-built to handle Iceland’s roughest terrain while keeping you safe and comfortable.
The adventure kicks off in Jokuldalur Glacier Valley. Here, you'll explore peaceful waterfalls and the Studlagil Canyon, home to one of Iceland's most photogenic basalt columns.
On the way, you’ll pass by Saenautasel, a restored turf farm originally built in 1843. This rare glimpse into rural Icelandic life shows how people lived and worked before the 1875 eruption of the Askja Caldera forced the farm to be abandoned.
From there, head deeper into the wilderness toward Hafrahvammagljufur. Towering over the landscape, this dramatic canyon offers one of the most breathtaking views in East Iceland. Few travelers reach this spot, making it a hidden gem in Iceland.
As the landscape shifts, you'll arrive at Laugarvalladalur Valley, a hidden geothermal oasis deep in the region. Don’t forget to bring swimwear to enjoy a warm soak in a naturally heated waterfall. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the solitude, allowing you to experience Iceland’s long-standing bathing traditions.
On your return, you’ll stop at Karahnjukar, home to Europe’s largest hydroelectric dam. The contrast between natural scenery and massive human engineering is striking. From the top, the view stretches across vast plateaus and deep ravines.
Before reaching Egilsstadir, you’ll pass through Fljotsdalur Valley and stop at Hallormsstadarskogur, Iceland’s largest forest. Stretch your legs beneath birch, spruce, and larch trees while taking in breathtaking views of Lake Lagarfljot. According to local legend, a mysterious creature is said to live beneath its surface, adding a touch of folklore to the experience.
With a small group and an expert guide, this thrilling super jeep tour in East Iceland conquers hard-to-reach waterfalls, geothermal valleys, and wide-open views without the crowds.
