Combo Trip: Driver Guided Super Jeep Safari, Sightseeing the Golden Circle & River Rafting on Hvítá River. Available Directly from
Reykjavík City.
Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy
We take our course east from Reykjavík along the tabletop mountains and
down to Lake Thingvallavatn. Here we stop to visit the National Park
Thingvellir where you will see for your self one of only two tectonic
rift valleys in the worlds, created as the continental plates slowly
drift. Þingvellir is also the only UNESCO‘s cultural world-heritage site
in Iceland. From there we take the trail behind the picturesque shield
volcano Skjaldbreid and along our second biggest glacier, the
Langjökull. After about a two hours drive on mountain trails and some
river crossing we get back to normal roads again just above Gullfoss
waterfall.
We will make a short stop and view the spectacular 32 meter high cascade
before driving to the Geysir hot springs which are only 10 km down the
road. At Geysir we will see a variety of geothermal pools and erupting
hot springs, surely one of the highlights of any visit to Iceland.
Drumbo river rafting basecamp is our stop for lunch and a great rafting
trip on the glacier river Hvítá is the culmination of our adventure. The
Hvítá 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 before entering the road again.
This trip offers an
amazing ride through the landscapes and natural forces that have shaped
and continue to shape Iceland.
