Super Jeep Wild Reindeer Experience in East Iceland from Breiddalsvik & Nearby Towns

Search for wild reindeer in East Iceland on a guided super jeep tour through one of the country’s most remote regions. This immersive Arctic experience is perfect for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts eager to explore Iceland’s raw landscapes and spot reindeer up close.

Your 4-hour adventure begins in the peaceful fishing village of Breiddalsvik, where your guide will pick you up in the morning. If you’re staying nearby, pick-up is also available from Egilsstadir, Faskrudsfjordur, Reydarfjordur, and Stodvarfjordur.

You’ll then ride in a super jeep and conquer the region’s rugged terrain. With its oversized tires and roaring engine, it powers across icy trails and deep snowdrifts, turning the journey into an adrenaline-pumping ride.

Unlike more crowded wildlife tours in Iceland, this tour takes you deep into one of the country’s overlooked regions. East Iceland is the only place where reindeer roam free. They’re not herded or domesticated, which makes spotting them a real thrill for wildlife photographers and animal lovers.

Local insight is what makes this experience truly special. As you travel through the rugged terrain, your guide uses recent reindeer sightings, local farmer tips, and years of experience navigating the area. The route is adjusted daily, maximizing your chances of spotting reindeer and keeping every journey fresh and exciting.

Throughout the drive, you’ll pause at panoramic viewpoints scattered across East Iceland’s dramatic terrain. Snow-draped mountains, wide-open valleys, and lakes stretch in every direction. You’ll enjoy peaceful moments and stunning photo opportunities far from the crowds.

Traveling in a small group means more flexibility and a personal connection with your guide. You’ll learn about East Iceland’s history, folklore, and how the region’s diverse environment shapes the people and animals who call it home.

By the end of the tour, you’ll have explored some of Iceland’s wildest corners, hopefully spotted herds of reindeer grazing in the dramatic mountains, and gained a deeper appreciation for the country’s untouched natural beauty.

For the best chance to see the reindeer, plan your visit in winter or spring, when the animals descend from the highlands to forage in lower valleys. These seasons offer the highest chances of sightings and some of the most breathtaking Arctic scenery.

But even without a guaranteed encounter, this tour is about more than wildlife. It’s an opportunity to experience a quieter, wilder side of Iceland that few travelers get to experience.
