About Tour
Discover the Eyjafjallajokull Super Jeep Tour – an unforgettable journey that takes you deep into the heart of Iceland’s awe-inspiring landscapes. This tour stands as one of our all-time favorites, and it’s not hard to see why.
Eyjafjallajokull, the renowned glacier that captured the world’s attention with its dramatic 2010 eruption, is the star of the show. In this adventure, you’ll ascend the glacier’s slopes in a robust 4×4 Super Jeep, specially equipped for the rugged terrain. As you journey upwards, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view that stretches across the entire southern coast of Iceland, with the enchanting Westman Islands in the distance.
But this tour is about much more than breathtaking vistas – it’s a full immersion into the glacier experience. You’ll experience the thrill of an off-road Super Jeep drive through pristine snowscapes, setting the stage for an adventure of a lifetime.
Itinerary
Upon reaching the glacier, you’ll step out onto its icy expanse, walking where few have trodden before. This unique opportunity offers a profound connection to the forces of nature that shaped this otherworldly realm. As you traverse the glacier, you’ll gain an appreciation for its serene beauty, standing in stark contrast to the chaos it unleashed in 2010.
But this tour is more than a glacier walk. It’s an exploration of the diverse natural wonders of the area. You’ll visit volcanoes, cascading waterfalls, black sand beaches, and hidden canyons – all set against the backdrop of the magnificent Icelandic landscape.
One of the highlights of this tour is the exclusive access it provides. Our experienced guides will lead you through scenery accessible only by 4×4 vehicles, giving you a unique perspective on Iceland’s pristine wilderness. This means you’ll experience the true essence of Iceland, untouched by the masses.
Notably, this tour takes you through a landscape deeply impacted by the 2010 eruption. During this cataclysmic event, millions of liters of melted glacier ice from Eyjafjallajokull surged down the mountainside, causing massive floods on their way to the Atlantic. The aftermath of this eruption has left a lasting impression on the region’s topography, forever changing its appearance.
In conclusion, the Eyjafjallajokull Super Jeep Tour is much more than a journey; it’s an odyssey into the heart of Iceland’s geological marvels. It’s an opportunity to relive a pivotal moment in the nation’s history and witness the resilience of nature. It’s an adventure that takes you off the beaten path and into the exclusive embrace of Iceland’s most extraordinary landscapes. Join us and experience the magic of Eyjafjallajokull in a way few ever will. Book your tour now and make unforgettable memories in the Land of Fire and Ice.
