Description
Chase Iceland’s most impressive hidden waterfalls on a private super jeep tour from Reykjavik. This tour is perfect for travelers who want to explore untouched landscapes, skip the crowds, and enjoy a more personal, off-road experience in South Iceland’s dramatic landscape.
Your 11-hour adventure begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You’ll meet your local guide and hop into a custom-built 4x4 super jeep made for navigating Iceland’s rough terrain. With just your group on board, the tour remains relaxed, flexible, and tailored to your pace.
For this private adventure, you'll cover at least nine majestic waterfalls hidden in South Iceland. You'll escape the usual tourist routes with the expertise of your driver-guide to witness beautiful cascades that are unique from one another.
Your first stop is Urridafoss, one of Iceland’s widest and most powerful waterfalls. Its impressive flow across flat rock makes it an unforgettable sight. It’s easy to walk up close and feel the mist in the air.
Next, you’ll continue into South Iceland’s Thjorsardalur Valley to visit Hjalpafoss waterfall, which splits into two streams that flow between moss-covered basalt columns. A short walking path leads to a viewing area where you can see the twin falls drop into a calm, rocky pool below.
At Gjain, you’ll explore a small green valley filled with waterfalls, lava formations, and moss-covered trails. The area is quiet and highly photogenic, with walking paths that wind through volcanic rock and natural pools. One of the highlights is Gjarfoss Waterfall, which flows between basalt columns and lava fields, giving the valley a distinct, otherworldly feel.
The tour continues to Haifoss, one of the highest waterfalls in Iceland, at 400 feet (122 meters), where the water drops into a steep canyon below. You’ll stand near the edge to view the falls and listen to the thunder of water echoing off the cliffs.
A second waterfall nearby flows down the adjacent ridge, adding depth to the wide, canyon-filled view.
Your next stop is Sigoldufoss Waterfall, a moss-covered cascade tucked into the Icelandic Highlands.
From there, you’ll continue to Sigoldugljufur Canyon, also called the “Valley of Tears” for the many small waterfalls that pour down its cliff walls. A moderate walking trail leads to a viewpoint overlooking vibrant green moss, blue glacial streams, and dozens of narrow falls set against dark volcanic rock.
Afterward, you’ll head to Fossabrekkur, where a series of quiet cascades runs through a secluded valley. A patch of greenery surrounds the riverbank, and a few narrow waterfalls trickle down the nearby hillside.
Next is Thjofafoss, a majestic waterfall flowing through dark lava fields near the Hekla Volcano and Burfell Mountain. The landscape here is dry and rugged, giving the waterfall a stark, isolated feel.
The final waterfall in your super jeep tour is Arbaejarfoss, nestled in a secluded valley in Hella. Its dramatic, thundering flow is a fitting end to a day spent discovering Iceland’s most overlooked natural wonders.
Your guide adjusts the route as needed based on the conditions, but you’ll visit at least nine waterfalls. Every stop offers a close-up experience of Iceland’s natural beauty, with enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery.
