The tour starts at the meeting point at Glacier Journey Base Camp. Here, you will meet your expert guide and the other guests on the tour.
Be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure, so you have plenty of time to check in. You'll climb aboard the super jeep, and once you're comfortable, it'll be time to set off on your adventure.
A super jeep is an off-road vehicle specially modified for extreme terrain and challenging environments.
These rugged vehicles are typically larger and more powerful than regular off-road vehicles, equipped with specialized features such as oversized tires, high ground clearance, reinforced suspension systems, and robust engines.
Super jeeps are commonly used in remote and harsh locations, like Iceland's volcanic landscapes, to navigate through snow, mud, rocks, and other obstacles impassable for conventional vehicles.
They provide an adventurous means of exploring nature's most inaccessible and breathtaking destinations.
On this tour, the super jeep will drive onto some of Iceland's black sand beaches, allowing you to see them from a unique perspective. Your expert driver will tell you more about each stop on the way.
During the tour, you'll see the ruins of Iceland's first local airport, which offers a fascinating glimpse into the country's aviation history.
Established in the early 20th century, this airport was a critical hub for domestic and international flights during its heyday. The remnants of its once-bustling terminal, hangars, and runways now stand as a testament to a bygone era.
They provide a unique backdrop for exploration, with weathered structures surrounded by Iceland's stunning natural beauty.
You'll also see Hvanneyjarviti lighthouse. This iconic structure, first illuminated in 1929, played a crucial role in guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters of the North Atlantic.
Hvanneyjarviti lighthouse's striking white and red color scheme is a stark contrast against the desolate surroundings.
You'll see the entrance to Hofn Harbor, a notoriously tricky entrance for boats to navigate. Here, you can enjoy the mountain views and hopefully see some of the seals that live here.
The final stop on the tour is a glacial lagoon beneath Flaajokull glacier. You may see a herd of wild reindeer here if you're lucky.
