Tour one of Iceland's most popular routes and experience not only Iceland’s nature, but its geology and history as well. This full-day tour also comes with additional adventure to the Langjokull Glacier in a 4x4 Jeep. Cover Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park where Viking settlers stood centuries ago to proclaim national laws, a Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss, the spectacular golden waterfall, and Langjokull, the second largest glacier in Iceland where you will have the option to take a snowmobile ride.The first stop takes you to Thingvellir National Park where the oldest parliament was founded over 1000 years ago. Many crucial events in Icelandic history took part here and it is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Here you will also see how the earth is ever so slowly pulling apart along the North-America and Eurasian tectonic plates.
Next, visit the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur where you can see geysers, hot springs, steam vents and eerie blue algae. Although the Great Geysir is relatively dormant, Strokkur, also being one of the largest and most powerful geysers and erupts approximately every 5 minutes.
Proceed then to Gullfoss waterfall, which many consider to be the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, as it is both high and mighty and stumbles in a deep gorge. Gullfoss is in fact 2 separate waterfalls, the upper one has a 11m drop and the lower one with 21m beautifully angled creating a dramatic cascade.
Have a lunch break at Gullfoss Cafe, before taking the Super Jeep vehicles off-road to the second largest glacier in Iceland, the Long Glacier, Langjokull. The ride will take you across glaciers and highlands, splashing through rivers and the rough terrain. You will enjoy the landscape from your super Jeep while occasionally stopping to incredible sights.
After an off-road ride, we will head back to Reykjavik.
Optional Activity: 1 hour of snowmobiling
There is an additional activity available at an additional cost (22,200 ISK for double rider; 28,200 ISK for solo rider). This will be available after booking.
Once onsite at Langjokull, you have the option of being outfitted with a snowsuit, insulated mittens and a safety helmet then given clear and precise instructions for handling these powerful machines. Led by the experienced mountain guide, the snowmobiles shoot off in single file for an hour of often high-speed driving along the carefully chosen route over the glacier. The return journey down from the glacier provides further unmissable photo opportunities on this action-packed day.
