Multi Trip: 4 Day Driver Guided Super Jeep Safari to the Central Highlands, River Rafting, Glacier Hiking, Ice Climbing & Hot Spring Bathing
Fjallabak literally means “behind the mountains”, here hidden behind Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull lies a vast untouched wilderness like no other in the world. Here glaciers reach for the skies, deep blue mountain lakes fill steep valleys with sharp green peaks on all sides. Lost hot springs in secluded valleys far, far away from civilization will relax and calm you as you take in the spectacular views.
After the Golden Circle and river rafting we will visit the famous Landmannalaugar hot springs where we will hike in the colorful rhyolite mountains and bathe in the natural pool. Next is the magnificent Syðra Fjallabak drive to the Strútur hut and a hike to the amazing Strútslaug natural hot springs. We will drive along side Mýrdalsjökull glacier, crossing many rivers and enjoying breathtaking unforgettable views of Iceland. After stopping at Eldgjá volcanic rift we descend down to the Skaftá glacier river, which we will follow up to Langisjór highland lake. This secluded lake is rimmed in by steep, lush green volcanoes and at the end of the lake the biggest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull glacier, rises up. By following a secret track that lies through the lake we get to shores where the beauty is staggering, the seclusion is complete, and you will never see anything like this anywhere else in the world. At the end of the lake, by Vatnajökull, we ascend the Breiðbak mountain range where we will have an unobstructed view of the whole area. At last we drive south to the coastal town of Vík í Mýrdal on road number 1. Following the south coast towards Reykjavík we will stop at Reynisdrangar cliffs, Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, go glacier hiking and ice climbing on Sólheimajökull and drive the black lava sand beaches with the surf just meters away.
