Itinerary
The Fjallabak Super Jeep Tour promises an exciting adventure through Iceland’s stunning highlands. During the tour, we’ll take you to some of the country’s most iconic sites, including Mt. Maelifell. This magnificent mountain is easily recognizable by its almost perfect conical shape covered in bright green moss, situated in the black ash desert of Mælifellssandur. We’ll also visit the beautiful Rauðibotn crater, featuring a small emerald green lake surrounded by red rocks. The stunning Álftavatn lake, known for its birdlife, and Hvanngil valley, Mt. Hattfell and Mt. Laufafell are equally impressive. We’ll also explore Markafljótsgljúfur’s magnificent technicolor glacial river canyon, where waterfalls and stratified lava/ash layer walls abound. Torfahlaup is a beautiful spot at the beginning of the canyon. Other iconic mountains that we’ll encounter include Mt. Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes with over 20 eruptions since 874, and Mt. Einhyrningur, resembling a sleeping unicorn with a horn jutting out, situated between Tindfjöll Glacier and Markarfljót river. Additionally, we’ll visit Landmannalaugar, a geothermal oasis with breathtaking sites such as Hnausapollur crater lake, Rauðaskál crater, Dyngjuleið and Dómadalur.
Please note that due to the abundance of sites, it’s not possible to see everything in one day, and routes may vary depending on weather conditions. If you’re interested in visiting Landmannalaugar specifically, we offer a Landmannalaugar Day Tour. Our main priority is to ensure that you have an unforgettable experience and make the most out of your trip.
