Combo Trip: Super Jeep Self Drive, South Shore Sightseeing & Glacier Hiking. Day Trip Available Directly from Reykjavík City.
Tour difficulty 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy
Do not leave Iceland without experiencing a real glacier! This amazing trip will not only show you the rugged, ever moving and ever changing beauty of Sólheimajökull but also Iceland´s amazing black sand beaches and dunes. We will pick you up in a monster Super-Jeep and show you how best to drive this highly specialized mountain and glacier vehicle on and off the road…just imagine driving such a machine! Cruising along Iceland’s south coast we will stop at Skógafoss and the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and take a short walk behind the 60-meter high wall of water!
Continuing onwards we will drive up to the glacier where we will gear up for our glacier exploration. During the glacial hike on the ancient ice we will explore the crevasse riddled outlet glacier with its amazing ice formations, sink holes and jagged ridges. You will witness incredible ice and water formations first hand accompanied by a professional glacier guide. After the hike we will have a packed lunch before driving down to and onto the beautiful black sand beaches, racing along the waters edge where the relentless North Atlantic waves crash on to Iceland’s coast.
