Testimonials

From Chris

All,

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for your help in organising the trip to Iceland. It was, not to put to fine a point on it, SPECTACULAR. Everything that could have happened did – a mountain rescue, an amazing hotel, a meal of whale meat and puffin at Lækjarbrekka, cocktail fun at Orange and a light poaching at the Blue Lagoon. And to round it all off: an Icelandic psychic on the plane home who gave everyone “dream pebbles”. Seriously. The whole thing still feels faintly surreal and dream-like, to be honest.

But the best bit? The dive. Was just utterly, utterly incredible. Not that you can tell from these pics, but this is me but this is me at Þingvellir - 40m down in glacial water with 100m visibility:

It was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously. Genuinely awe-inspiringly beautiful. Hedinn was a superb dive master, and gave me all the help and encouragement I needed. And with the our great jeep story as well (thanks to our guide Ragi – a really great guy), I think it’s going to make a great piece.

So thank you so much for your help organising it – everything worked like clockwork, and we both had an amazing time. I’ll be in touch nearer the time when we start laying out the feature, but until then, thanks again..

U-Drive Golden Circle - Super Jeep Day Tour from Reykjavík

Combo trip: Self Drive Super Jeep Safari, Sightseeing the Golden Circle & River Rafting on Hvítá River. Day Tour Available Directly from Reykjavík City.

Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy

Be the driver of a monster truck on this super jeep self drive adventure! You will drive the 4x4 super jeep off road and visit the Golden Circle, Iceland´s most famous sightseeing route including Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir Hot Springs and Gullfoss Waterfall.

This tour will take you off the beaten path to experience Iceland´s natural gems in the comfort of our 4x4 super jeep. Drumbo river rafting basecamp is our first stop and from there we will go on a great rafting trip on Hvítá river. It is a beautiful river running through an amazing canyon, with fun rapids and a great optional cliff jump. Afterwards the showers and sauna are at hand and we will have lunch before entering the road again.

From Drumbó we go to visit the famous Geysir geothermal area. There we will eye witness the spouting hotspring in all its power. After seeing Geysir up close we continue onwards for a short drive to Gullfoss, Iceland´s best known waterfall, which cascades down 32 meters into the mighty glacial river Hvítá we were river rafting on earlier.

Next, we take the trail behind the picturesque shield volcano Skjaldbreid, and after about a two hours drive on tough trails and some river crossings we get back to normal roads again. Our next stop is the beautiful and historic Þingvellir area where the worlds first parliament “Alþingi” was established in 930 AD. It is the only UNESCO‘s cultural world-heritage site in Iceland. Þingvellir is also famous for it´s beautiful nature and unique geology. You can eyewitness the location where the North American and European continental plates are drifting apart.

This trip offers an amazing ride through the landscapes and natural forces that have shaped and continue to shape Iceland. The ultimate super-jeep combo trip from Reykjavik!
