Your tour begins with a pick up from your accommodation in Reykjavík and briefing about the adventures that lie ahead over the next two days. From Reykjavík we will east towards the Þingvellir National Park, the founding place of the Icelandic parliament, the oldest one in the world. The park also offers great beauty and views over the meeting place of the continental plates of America and Europe, the rifts and canyons that accompany it and the largest lake in Iceland, the shimmering, deep blue Þingvallavatn. From the lakeside we head over the mountains and onwards to the Geysir Hot Springs to see the Strokkur spout up a colum of super heated water and around the corner thunders the Golden Waterfall, Gullfoss, into the vertical glacier river canyon of the Hvítá River. After lunch we drive over the river at the Brúarhlöð canyon and up to the central Highlands through the Þjórsádalur valley. On our way will stop at the Háifoss, one of Iceland’s highest waterfalls and Þjóðveldisbær, a completely restored Viking house, before powering into the highlands and to the Landmannalaugar Hot Springs.
Our second adventure packed day will start with highland drive from Landmannalaugar, down passed the Hekla Volcano and along the Eyjafjallajökull Glacier to the black sand beaches of Sólheimajökull Outlet glacier. On which we will hike on crampons and even try to ice climbing the ice walls. We will also stop at the powerful Skógar waterfall and walk behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. After all the action we will head back towards Reykjavík but not before stopping at Eyrarbakki where we will dine on exquisite North Atlantic lobster at a sea side restaurant.
Please note: Off-road driving means driving dirt roads and mountain passes. Due to extreme winter conditions these roads are often hard to drive or even impassable. In such cases the guide has full authority to alter the itinerary. Allow for an extra day in Iceland after this trip in the wintertime, i.e. never book a flight the morning after a winter expedition, sometimes conditions and weather can make us late getting into town!
