Set out on a super jeep tour from Reykjavik and venture deep into the surreal landscapes of Kerlingarfjoll in the Icelandic Highlands. This private summer adventure combines a scenic drive with a guided hike through steaming valleys, red-orange mountains, and a geothermal wonderland shaped by volcanic energy.
Available from June to September, the highland roads open, and Kerlingarfjoll’s trails become their most accessible. These months offer the best conditions for hiking in this geothermal paradise.
This private tour in Iceland offers unmatched convenience and comfort. You’ll be picked up directly from your accommodation in Reykjavik or the Golden Circle in a super jeep. The 4x4 handles rugged F-roads, river crossings, and rough mountain terrain, making the journey smooth and comfortable.
Your 11-hour experience begins with a drive into Iceland’s Highlands. The super jeep easily handles rough trails and river crossings, giving you a secure and comfortable ride.
As you follow the Kjolur Highland Route, the landscape changes quickly. Glacial rivers cut across the road, and black sand stretches for miles. With an expert driver at the wheel, you can relax and take in the scenery.
Arriving at Kerlingarfjoll, you’ll be greeted by colorful rhyolite mountains streaked with red, orange, and yellow. Steam rises from the valleys of hot springs, creating a dramatic backdrop for your hike.
The highlight of this tour is a guided hike through the geothermal trails. Your French-speaking guide adjusts the pace to your comfort level. Walking poles are provided for extra stability on uneven or steep paths.
During the hike, you’ll see mud pools that bubble, hot springs that release steam, and vents that emit gas. Glacial rivers flow through the valleys, a reminder of the natural forces that continue to shape Kerlingarfjoll.
Being a private tour, you get to enjoy the highlands without crowds. It’s an intimate experience where you can explore at your own pace with the reassurance of an expert driver and guide.
The hike is rated moderate and is suitable for travelers aged 12 and above. It is not recommended for those with vertigo, as some trails include steep ridges. Sturdy hiking boots and layered clothing are essential.
Your guide helps prepare you with advice on clothing and equipment, and the super jeep ensures reliable travel across highland tracks. With the logistics covered, you can focus fully on the experience.
One percent of the tour price is donated to Icelandic emergency service volunteers. By joining this excursion, you also support the teams who keep travelers safe in Iceland’s most remote areas.
At the end of the day, your driver brings you back along the Kjolur route. The return journey gives you a chance to reflect on the geothermal sights before reaching your accommodation.
