Experience Reykjanes Peninsula’s youngest volcanic landscapes by booking a seat on this super jeep volcano tour in Iceland. Perfect for those short on time or avoiding long treks, this off-road adventure gives you front-row access to eruption sites like Fagradalsfjall and the active Sundhnukagigar crater row, reaching dramatic viewpoints unreachable by standard vehicles.
The Reykjanes Peninsula has become one of the most active volcanic regions in Iceland in recent years. A series of eruptions since 2021 has reshaped the landscape, drawing global attention.
These eruptions, primarily centered around the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system, have created vast fields and new geological formations. Seeing these landscapes offers a rare opportunity to witness a living, evolving volcano system.
This volcano tour in Iceland begins at the Fagradalsfjall parking area, where you’ll meet your experienced driver guide. For the next 1.5 to 2 hours, your guide will take you through the volcanic viewpoints while enriching your ride with information and trivia about the Reykjanes eruptions.
A specially modified super jeep built for the rugged Icelandic wilderness will serve as your trusted vehicle. Outfitted with large tires, reinforced suspension, and superior traction control, this robust vehicle effortlessly navigates steep mountain tracks and uneven lava-strewn terrain.
Over the course of the tour, you’ll visit multiple distinct volcanic viewpoints, each offering a different perspective of Iceland’s youngest and most dramatic landscapes. These stops allow you to witness the transformative force of nature up close, with possible views over Geldingadalir, Sundhnukagigar, and Fagradalsfjall's recent eruptions.
You may see vast fields of fresh lava, craggy craters, and dramatic volcanic ridges sculpted by recent eruptions. With clear weather, the views stretch for miles, offering stunning photo opportunities and a rare glimpse into Earth’s geologic activity.
As you enjoy these geological sites, your local expert guide will share fascinating insights into Iceland’s volcanic systems, plate tectonics, and the stories behind the recent eruptions. It’s an educational experience just as much as a scenic one.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask your guide.
This super jeep shuttle is designed for those who want to experience Iceland’s natural power without undertaking the usual hike. Without this volcanic transport in Reykjanes, the only way to access the recent eruption sites is through a 2 to 3-hour hike.
Please note that one segment of the ride includes a steep climb along a narrow mountain road to reach a high-altitude viewpoint. While the ride is completely safe in the Super Jeep, those with a strong fear of heights may find this part mildly challenging. Your guide will ensure your comfort and accommodate any concerns.
Whether you’re a geology buff, a nature photographer, or simply a traveler looking for something extraordinary, this volcano super jeep shuttle in Fagradalsfjall is the ultimate way to explore Iceland’s ever-changing landscape. Check availability now by choosing a date.
