South Iceland & Glacier Super Jeep Tour

Walk behind a waterfall, cruise on the white plains of a glacier and go off-roading on a black sand beach, your driver guide will take you to all of these places in the modified Super Jeep, while you enjoy the beautiful countryside of south Iceland.

Your journey begins driving east from Reykjavik and toward Eyjafjallajokull glacier, the volcano that caused all the trouble spring 2010.  There you stop at Seljarlandsfoss freefalling waterfall.  A short path leads behind the waterfall, where you can feel the spray and drizzle on your face and see it from an interesting perspective.

Refreshed, you travel to Myrdalsjokull glacier where, powered by the Super Jeep, you travel up to the glacier and if conditions allow, drive on the glacier. On a clear day, there is a great view of the south shore, the two glaciers and the two famous volcanoes; Eyjafjallajokull  and Katla.

After getting back to ground level you go to Skogafoss, a beautiful waterfall which flows down from a high cliff.  Near the waterfall is the Skogar folklore museum, where you can see old turf houses and tools and household objects made in the late 18th and early 19th century.

Heading towards the ocean, you go off-roading on a black sand beach and enjoy the view of Reynisdrangar, strange basalt sea stacks that stand out from the ocean.   Close by is Dyrholaey, a small peninsula which forms an arch into the sea.  In the summer many puffins make their nesting at Dyrholaey.  Please note that Dyrholaey is closed from May 1st until June 25th to preserve birdlife.

On the way back to Reykjavik we pass the town of Hveragerdi.  The town is built on a geothermal hot spot and many inhabitants make their living from greenhouse cultivation.

Back in Reykjavik your driver guide drops you off at your hotel or a restaurant of your choice.
