Combo Trip: Driver Guided Super Jeep Safari, Golden Circle Sightseeing & Lava Caving. Day Tour 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 of the Esja and down to Lake Thingvallavatn. Here we stop to visit the National Park Thingvellir where you will see one of only two tectonic rift valleys in the worlds, created as the continental plates of America and Europe slowly drift apart. Þingvellir is also the only UNESCO‘s cultural world-heritage site in Iceland and it was here that the Vikings held their parliament and passed out judgments. We will walk down through the Almannagjá canyon and then continue onwards to the Lyngdalsheiði lava field where we will gear up for caving in the Gjábakkahellir cave on the UnderWorld tour. The trip through the cave is a fascinating journey down into the lava field and you will see first hand how Iceland was created and continues to be shaped by the volcanoes and elements.
After our caving adventure we will dine on a packed lunch before taking the mountain track 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 Strokkur, the erupting hot spring, surely one of the highlights of any visit to Iceland.
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!
