Description

Embark on the adventure of exploring the impressive Icelandic Highlands on this exciting Super Jeep tour. This experience is perfect for those who want to explore the beautiful Laugavegur and Fjallabak areas on an exhilarating 4x4 drive!

To start your adventure, meet your expert driver-guide and jump on board your modified Super Jeep vehicle, designed for driving in rough terrain and crossing rivers, the ideal ride to explore the depths of the Icelandic Highlands on this amazing day trip. 

Your journey begins with a visit to the iconic Hekla, one of Iceland's most legendary and active volcanoes. It is often called the "Gateway to Hell" due to its frequent eruptions and dramatic, ever-changing landscape. Soak in the power of where you are standing and learn about the historical eruptions of this massive volcano.

From Hekla, you will head toward the mesmerizing Domadalur Valley, located only a few minutes from two striking lakes, Ljotipollur and Frostastadavatn. Explore this incredible area with your expert local guide, who will tell you everything you would like to know about these magnificent locations, their history, and their cultural significance.

Only a short drive away from Domadalur Valley, you will find one of the highlights of this day, the picturesque Landmannalaugar region. This area is one of Iceland's hidden gems, featuring vibrant, colorful mountains and abundant geothermal bathing pools surrounded by steep black lava fields.

After a stop to take in all the beauty of Landmannlaugar, you will jump back into your Super Jeep and venture toward the famous Laugavegur trail, Iceland's most well-known hiking trail.

On your journey toward Laugavegur, you will encounter fascinating geothermal areas and striking mountains as you navigate the breathtaking Reykjadalir Valley.

Not long before arriving at Laugavegur, the majestic Myrdalsjokull and Eyjafjallajokull glaciers will begin to emerge on the horizon, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Icelandic Highlands that is truly unforgettable.

After exploring the Laugavegur trail, you will begin to approach the paved road once again. The landscape will dramatically shift on the way, and massive ice caps will appear in the distance before you arrive at the Emstrur hut.

These majestic ice sheets create the ultimate backdrop for an unforgettable panoramic photo, capturing the raw beauty of Iceland’s wilderness.

As this adventure-filled tour nears its end, you'll want to make sure there's still space on your camera for the final, breathtaking shots of Eyjafjallajokull glacier and the stunning Thorsmork valley, beautifully framed from the west side of the dramatic Markarfljotsgljufur canyon.

Don’t miss the chance to experience this close encounter with the spectacular Icelandic Highlands on an unforgettable Super Jeep adventure. Check availability now by choosing a date!
