A Super-Jeep tour from Reykjavík to see the highlights of Iceland, travel on the highlands on austere interior roads, leave your footprints on a glacier and go into the Lava as you walk through a Lava Cave in Hallmundarhraun Lava. See Hraunfossar waterfalls as they flow into the glacial river Hvítá from beneath the tree covered lava fields.

Pass through the historic site of Reykholt, the home of Snorri Sturluson where he wrote some of the greatest literature in the age of Saga, and move on to the largest and most powerful hot spring in the northern hemisphere, Deildartunguhver. Your tour wraps up in Reykjavík after driving along the scenic and historic Hvalfjörður fjord. The tour leaves from Reykjavik in a Super Jeep and makes its way toward one of Iceland’s highest and most austere interior roads, Kaldidalur or “Cold Valley”. The tour drives alongside the western part of the Langjokull glacier, pausing to get up close and personal with one of nature’s finest gifts. Depending on time of year, as well as weather conditions, you may have the opportunity put your footprints on the glacial surface.

Next you will head north for a stop at one of this area’s lava tube caves, we will enter the Caves, helmets and lights are provided. Centuries ago, caves like this were inhabited by outlaws. Then you will arrive at the breathtaking Hraunfossar waterfalls flowing into the glacial river Hvita (Hvítá) from beneath the tree covered lava fields.

Leaving there, you’ll pass through the historic site of Reykholt, home of Iceland’s famous chieftain and historian Snorri Sturluson. Here, Sturluson wrote some of his greatest literature in the age of saga before he was murdered near the hot springs that are still used today.

Next, visit Deildartunguhver, the largest and most powerful hot spring in the Northern Hemisphere and a source for much of western Iceland’s heating needs.

Your trip wraps up in Reykjavik, but not before driving alongside scenic and historic Hvalfjordur (Hvalfjörður) fjord.
