A great Icelandic day out, this excursion allows guests to visit the famed Golden Circle route, while travelling in true Icelandic fashion by Superjeep.
A highly recommended excursion for first time visitors, your Superjeep driver and guide will provide a fascinating and personal insight into Icelandic life and explain the marvellous geology of the area you are exploring.
Including the thundering, three-tiered waterfall of Gullfoss and the towering ‘boom’ of the geysers of Geysir, which encompasses the world-famous Strokkur, this journey on four-wheels concludes with a visit to the majestic UNESCO World Heritage Site at Thingvellir.
The site where the world’s first parliament assembled as well as the geological rift between the North American and Eurasian continents, this is a magnificent conclusion to this fun and adventurious day out. For those who seek even more of a thrill, an optional snowmobile excurison on Langjokull is available.
On the return to Reykjavik, guests can see the 3000 year old crater lake of Kerid as well as the greenhouse village of Hveragerdi, where geothermal energy is cleverly harnessed to raise local produce. Minimum 2 passengers.
It is also possible to add on a snowmobile excursion on Langjökull.
Please note that departures are weather dependent.
Time to Fjord. Leave plenty of time to explore the West Fjords on foot and soak up its pared-back natural beauty. Stop at Hornstrandir Nature Reserve where you can hike in wilderness of mountains, birds nesting in the cliffs and tundra.
