Experience the thrill of an off-road adventure and the charm of Iceland’s untouched wilderness on this South Coast and Highlands super jeep tour from Reykjavik. Conquer rugged trails, visit Iceland’s most famous attractions, and explore hidden landscapes in comfort with a small group.
This 11-hour journey combines three of the South Coast’s most famous sights with the rare chance to venture deep into the remote Highlands in a single day.
Your adventure begins with pickup in Reykjavik. Meet your expert local guide and board the super jeep, specially designed to handle bumpy trails, river crossings, and rugged mountain roads.
Feel the power of a specially modified super jeep tackling Iceland’s toughest terrain while your expert guide ensures a safe, fun, and personal experience. Elevated seating, panoramic windows, and heated interiors keep you comfortable as you admire dramatic scenery.
Your first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall on the South Coast, where you can walk behind the curtain of water for a perspective unlike any other. Fed by meltwater from Eyjafjallajokull Glacier, it’s a place where you can feel the spray on your face and capture unforgettable photos.
Next is Skogafoss, a 197-foot (60-meter) waterfall that produces a powerful mist. On sunny days, rainbows often form in the spray. Local legend tells of a Viking settler who hid a chest of gold behind the cascade, adding cultural intrigue to its beauty.
Then, Reynisfjara, the most famous black sand beach in Iceland. Hear the crash of Atlantic waves, marvel at the dramatic basalt columns, and see the unique Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising from a distance.
From the South Coast, your adventure shifts into the remote Highlands. Hold on tight as you navigate through dirt tracks into the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. Bounce along volcanic deserts, splash through glacial rivers, and follow rugged trails that parallel the legendary Laugavegur Trail.
Normally reserved for multi-day hikers, this highland route is now yours to explore in just a day. The 4x4 vehicle handles rough terrain with ease while you enjoy panoramic views of black deserts, moss-covered mountains, and colorful rhyolite hills in shades of yellow and brown.
Along the way, the route passes landmarks that few travelers reach. See Mt. Maelifell, a striking green volcano on the black plains. Admire Alftavatn, enjoy the peaceful lake near remote Laufafell, and discover hidden waterfalls away from the crowds.
Traveling in a small group adds a personal touch. You have time to enjoy each stop, ask your guide questions, and experience the Highlands without crowds.
After an exciting time in South Iceland, your guide will drop you off in Reykjavik.
