Summary
Description
Join an unforgettable tour in the land of fire and ice in which you explore the hidden gems of West Iceland on a super jeep. Travelers keen to explore glaciers, waterfalls, and other natural attractions with the thrill of 4x4 vehicles should book a spot on this epic adventure today.
At the start of the day, your expert guide will pick you up from your hotel in Reykjavik. The same location can also be your drop-off point at the end of the tour for your convenience.
For the next 10 hours, a specially modified mountain vehicle or a super jeep will be your trusted companion. The super jeep is the ideal tour vehicle to navigate Iceland's mountainous and rugged terrain while allowing you to feel comfortable inside.
You may have heard about the Golden Circle, but have you heard about the Silver Circle? If not, you're in for a wonderful surprise. On this tour, you will visit some of the most beautiful places in West Iceland, including hot springs and waterfalls.
The first destination for the day is Deildartunguhver, a hot spring unique for the immense heat it contains and the stunning colors it has created in its surrounding landscape. It's referred to as the highest-flowing hot spring in Europe.
After this, the next stops are at Barnafoss and Hraunfossar waterfalls. The waterfalls spread like a veil over hundreds of meters of lava rock wall, which is a stunning sight. The small rivulets freeze during winter, forming patterns and icicles to decorate the dark lava rock.
Both waterfalls have interesting origins and local stories that you'll learn about from your guide.
After the waterfalls, there will be a quick stop at Husafell woodlands, where you can pop into the bistro to buy some lunch and stock up on drinks and snacks.
Then, it will be time to see what the super jeep can do and venture into the Highlands. Your driver will now set out towards the Langjokull glacier and Kaldidalur highland road.
Langjokull is the second-largest glacier in Iceland. During your exploration, depending on glacier or road conditions, your group will drive through powdery snow, thick layers of ice, and gravel paths surrounded by mountains.
At the southern end of Kaldidalur road, you will get to the Thingvellir National Park, a cherished historical site for the Icelandic people. A short stop will be made at the national park before returning to Reykjavik.
Depending on the conditions each day, this exciting itinerary could be altered or flipped around, starting at Thingvellir National Park and concluding with the Deildartunguhver hot spring.
