This tour combines the two most popular sightseeing tours in Iceland, the Golden Circle and the South Shore, with one night in a mountain hut in Landmannalaugar hot springs. The super jeep expedition starts as a Golden Circle sightseeing tour as we visit the Þingvellir National Park, Geysir and Gullfoss waterfall. After lunch we head up Þjórsárdalur valley towards the rugged and remote Icelandic highlands. On our way we will take a look at the restored Viking house Þjóðveldisbær and Iceland´s highest waterfall Háifoss. Get comfy because the specially modified 4x4 monster truck will now take you through the rumoured Icelandic highlands with all it´s colors, lava, mountains and rivers.
The night is spent in a mountain hut in the beautiful highlands setting of Landmannalaugar hot springs. You are free to bathe in the hot spring as often as you like and at whatever time you like.
The second day of adventures starts with a drive down from the highlands past Hekla Volcano which is known as the gateway to hell. Hekla is just the first of many volcanic related things we will see today because soon we will enter the volcano triangle
which consists of the famous Eyjafjallajökull Volcano on our left, the
sleeping monster Katla caldera in front of us and the beautiful
Vestmannaeyjar Volcano Islands on our left. In the middle of the volcano triangle we take a left turn off road and
head towards Sólheimajökull glacier which is a glacier tongue from the
4th largest glacier in Iceland, Mýrdalsjökull glacier. We are going to
walk on one of the wonders of the world – a moving glacier! It is an
unreal experience to walk on a chunk of ice which goes as far as the
eye can see. Our professional glacier guide will safely take you on an
easy walk and show you the glacier wonders. It is a walk like no other,
you will see spiraling sink holes, magical ice formations, jagged
ridges, crevasses and ashes from past volcanic eruptions which give
away the old age of the ice.
From Sólheimajökull glacier we will follow it´s glacier river to the
black lava sand beach by the ocean. The powerful North Atlantic Ocean
will watch over us as we race our 4x4 super jeep on the moon like
landscape. We will get back to normal roads by the mighty Skogafoss
waterfall and after admiring it up close we will set our course back towards
Reykjavik city. On our way back we will stop at the small fishing village Eyrarbakki where we will dine on exquisite North Atlantic lobster at a sea side restaurant.
