Description

Experience Iceland’s wild side on a super jeep tour that blends the South Coast’s waterfalls and black sand beaches with the spectacular landscapes of the remote Highlands. Ideal for travelers seeking more than the ordinary, this 11-hour summer tour in Iceland combines famous landmarks with untouched wilderness rarely seen by visitors.

Start your adventure with pickup in Reykjavik. You’ll board a rugged super jeep built to handle Iceland’s toughest terrain, setting off through fertile farmlands, moss-covered lava fields, and dramatic coastal cliffs. 

Your first destination is the South Coast of Iceland, home to some of the country’s most iconic sights. Admire the graceful cascade of Seljalandsfoss and feel the raw power of Skogafoss, two of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls. 

You’ll walk along the striking black sands of Reynisfjara Beach, framed by towering basalt cliffs and crashing Atlantic waves. The combination of roaring waterfalls and rugged coastline makes the South Coast an unforgettable introduction to Iceland’s natural wonders.

From there, your Highlands super jeep adventure continues off the beaten path into the remote Fjallabak Nature Reserve. For a short stretch, you’ll even parallel parts of the legendary Laugavegur Trail, a famous trail for multi-day hiking in Iceland. Your powerful 4x4 lets you cover in hours what hikers take days to experience.

Brace yourself for river crossings and rugged tracks as you journey into a landscape shaped by fire and ice. Witness black volcanic deserts, moss-covered mountains, colorful rhyolite hills, and shimmering alpine lakes.

The towering Myrdalsjokull and Eyjafjallajokull Glaciers dominate the skyline while the super jeep drives through the untouched Highlands. No towns, no crowds, just silence and open space stretching in every direction.

During this Highlands tour, you’ll encounter Maelifell Volcano, one of the most photographed mountains on the Laugavegur Trail. Marvel at its emerald-green slopes that stand out vividly against the surrounding highland black sands and wilderness.

Along the route, you’ll pause at lesser-known treasures, secluded highland valleys, and the stunning Holmsarfossar and Blafjallafoss Waterfalls. These places are rarely seen by visitors who stick to Iceland’s more common routes.

Throughout the tour, expert guides ensure a safe and seamless experience, navigating Iceland’s challenging terrain with skill and local knowledge. Your safety is the top priority, and the itinerary may be adjusted to ensure safe and enjoyable conditions in unpredictable weather.

Expect a full day of adventure, from cascading waterfalls and black sand beaches to rugged volcanic landscapes and hidden highland gems on this South Coast and Highlands super jeep tour. Check availability now by selecting a date.
