Spend a full day exploring nature on this private super jeep tour from Reykjavik, with a visit to Hekla Volcano. This tour suits travelers interested in nature, geology, and history.
Your driver picks you up from your hotel in Reykjavik. Because this is a private tour, you don't need to wait for other passengers and can set off as soon as you're ready. From there, you travel by super jeep into the landscapes of South Iceland.
Your first stop is Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater formed thousands of years ago, with a blue-green lake inside it.
The highlight of your tour is Hekla Volcano. Its name is often said to mean 'the hooded one', because its summit is frequently covered in cloud.

You also see black sand beaches against the open ocean, which show the geological variety of Iceland.
Your next stop is Krysuvikurberg Cliffs, where you can see the busy seabird colonies on the tall cliffs.
You then visit Stora Eldborg Volcano, where you learn about the history and geology of the region.
Lake Kleifarvatn, surrounded by rugged lava fields, is a quiet place for a break.
You end your journey among the lava fields of the region, which show the volcanic history of Iceland.
This tour combines natural sights with off-road driving.
