Discover the vast Highlands of Iceland and enjoy the breathtaking scenery on this three-day super jeep tour. Those looking for a unique adventure in the Icelandic wilderness should book this exciting excursion now.
Your three-day tour starts when your driver picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik or Hvolsvollur. You can meet the group at Bru Base Camp outside Hvolsvollur if you prefer.
First, you'll meet the local guide leading you on this adventure. The guides have years of experience and in-depth knowledge of South Iceland. They'll tell you interesting facts and stories throughout the tour and be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Then, you'll depart in a super jeep, your transportation for the tour. Super jeeps are specially adapted vehicles with larger wheels and extended suspension. These all-terrain vehicles can access areas where other cars are unable to drive.
As you drive toward the Thorsmork valley, your driver will make stops along the way for you to discover some of the most spectacular sights in the Highlands.
The Thorsmork valley is a nature reserve between the Eyjafjallajokull, Myrdalsjokull, and Tindfjallajokull glaciers. It's one of the most popular destinations for hiking in Iceland, thanks to its awe-inspiring mountains and lush green vegetation.
One of the stops along the way is the Gigjokull glacier outlet. Gigjokull is one of the glacier outlets of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which famously erupted in 2010, causing an ash cloud that grounded flights around Europe. You'll be able to view the volcano from here and get some fantastic photos.
This tour is very flexible; the group can decide what they want to see and do in the area from several options. You can take beautiful hikes or drive to remote locations in the super jeep. No two adventures are the same.
During the tour, your accommodation will be a mountain hut in the Landmannalaugar area in the Southern Highlands. Landmannalaugar is one of Iceland's most popular hiking destinations. It's a beautiful place with several hot springs where visitors can bathe — perfect for soothing muscles after a long hike.
Each evening, your guide will cook a traditional mountain barbecue at the hut for your group to enjoy. You can chat about your adventures around the fire as you get to know the other group members.
When the tour finishes, your driver will drop you back at your accommodation, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
