South Shore sightseeing day tour on a driver guided super jeep & your choice between glacier hiking, lava caving or quad biking! All year super jeep day tour from Reykjavik, Iceland.
This trip is rated as Easy with 2 out of 5 possible.
The South Shore is Icelands second most popular sightseeing day tour after the Golden Circle and there is a good reason for it. You can walk behind the 62 meter high waterfall Seljalandsfoss, see the mighty Skógafoss waterfall, stand on a black lava sand beach and if the weather permits you might even see the world famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano!
Your day starts by climbing up into a super jeep which stands high
above the ground on it´s 38 inch tires. The 4x4 monster truck is
specially built for the rugged Icelandic nature and on this adventurous
day tour you will get a glimpse of what it is capable of. We start by driving the "1000 River Road" which is a mountain road above the scenic Hengill geothermal area. As the name suggests we have a few river crossings ahead of us before we descend down to the village Hveragerði. From there we have an hours drive on the grassy lowlands to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. When we get there you can walk behind the magical 62 meters of water but be prepared for some fresh mountain water spray!
As we drive further along the South Shore we enter a 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 right turn off road following a 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 to Reykjavik city.
There are a number of reasons why we consider our South Shore day tours better than others:
-You are not a tourist without a name in a big tour bus. Our tours are personal since our jeeps seat 5 to 12 persons.
-You can chat with your guide since he won´t be sitting far away from you.
-The tour does not take as long as in a tour bus since you don´t have to wait for the 40th person to get on board your bus.
-You can get the most out of your day by including an activity. You can choose between lava caving, glacier hiking and quad biking!
-And last but not least you´ll be in a super jeep! The super jeep will get you off the beaten track by crossing rivers and driving off road on black lava sand beaches.
To put it in a few words: On our sightseeing day tours you´ll get a personal Icelandic super jeep safari with an optional activity!
