This tour is ideal for travelers looking for a quiet, crowd-free experience in the Icelandic countryside. With a small group and expert guide, you'll enjoy a relaxed and meaningful day in nature.
The tour begins at the meeting point in Breiddalsvik. Here, you meet your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests. With a maximum of 10 travelers per super jeep, this small-group tour offers a personal and relaxed experience.
Board the super jeep and get ready for adventure. These specially modified vehicles are designed to handle Iceland’s rugged terrain with ease.
Your driver heads into Breiddalur Valley, a quiet and scenic region in East Iceland. Crossing an old bridge, you’ll see a clear river flowing through the canyon below. The view creates a peaceful and picturesque start to the day.
The area is rich in history, and small villages like Breiddalsvik provide insights into Icelandic culture and fishing traditions. Visitors can also explore unique rock and mineral formations that show the valley’s volcanic origins.
Next to visit is the Beljandi Waterfall, a hidden gem in the region. Although smaller than Iceland's more famous waterfalls, it stands out for its quiet surroundings and easy access. Reaching the site requires driving over rough terrain and crossing rivers.
Beljandi Waterfall flows over rocky cliffs into a calm pool and is a good spot for photography or a short walk in a quiet setting. The surrounding area features green hills and quiet scenery, ideal for a break in nature.
Another waterfall to visit is Flogufoss, a natural cascade surrounded by rocky hills and open landscapes. The water flows over rocky ledges and drops into a narrow gorge, creating a unique and scenic view.
You can reach the waterfall after a short and moderately easy hike. The area is quiet and offers clear views of the nearby mountains. Unlike many of Iceland’s famous falls, Flogufoss Waterfall attracts fewer visitors and gives a more personal experience with nature.
The following stop is Jorvik, a historical site with scenic surroundings and archaeological significance. It was once a farmstead during Iceland’s early settlement period, and its ruins show how the region’s first inhabitants lived.
The tour's last stop is Heydalir Church, a small historic wooden church known for its simple yet charming design. It stands in a quiet location surrounded by natural scenery and serves as a peaceful landmark in the Eastfjords.
Visitors can view its traditional architecture and learn about its cultural and spiritual role in the local community. The church has long served as a gathering place for residents and stands as a reminder of the area's deep-rooted heritage.
At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to the meeting point in Breiddalsvik.
