Tour Description
This is a once in a lifetime experience!
Join our jeep tours and drive with us high up in the mountains where the view over Iceland's highest peaks will take your breath away! And on top of that the largest glacier of Europe, Vatnajokull, will lay beneath your feet. An experienced driver-guide shares a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields and their impact on our environment during the tour.
Discover the amazing views of Vatnajokull National Park, including an incredible view over Sultartungugil glacier valley, Esjuföll mountains and Öræfajokull glacier. Öræfajökull is the largest active volcano in Iceland and its icy cover makes it a spectacular view. On this tour, we go off-the-beaten-track and away from the crowds making it a unique experience. We see epic views of Iceland's most amazing scenery and landscapes. We will drive through Kálfafellsdalur glacier valley to see the iconic scenery that has appeared in several movies and tv shows including Batman Begins, the Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Games of Thrones.
