Explore the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Icelandic Highlands and South Coast on this private super jeep tour departing from Reykjavik. Thrill-seekers who want to see the remote beauty of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier volcano, Thorsmork valley, and more attractions up close will enjoy the itinerary of this excursion.

This private tour in Iceland begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. Here, you'll meet your experienced driver-guide, who will share their extensive knowledge of the region's history, geology, and folklore to enrich your trip.

With this private tour, you don't have to worry about large groups or crowded buses. Instead, you can tailor the itinerary to your preferences, whether you want to spend more time capturing photos, exploring a particular site, or simply soaking in the breathtaking scenery. 

From the capital city, you'll travel in a specially equipped super jeep designed to conquer Iceland's rugged terrain and provide a comfortable ride.

The first stop in your itinerary is the majestic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a natural wonder in the South Coast region. Seljalandsfoss features a tall cliff of 200 feet (60 meters). It offers a unique experience as you can walk behind the cascading water curtain for the most immersive viewing.

Next, you'll explore the hidden gem of Nauthusagil canyon, a secluded paradise where rugged cliffs embrace a narrow ravine. The canyon's quiet serenity and untouched beauty make it an ideal spot for those seeking a tranquil connection with nature. As you venture deeper into this enchanting geological formation, don't forget to take photos, as few travelers visit this attraction.

Continuing your journey, you'll head to Gigjokull in the Highlands, an outlet glacier from the infamous yet beautiful Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Here, you'll witness the immense power of nature as you stand before this glacial giant. It towers over the region at 5427 feet (1651 meters).

Your guide will share the dramatic story of the volcano's 2010 eruption that captured the world's attention. This will provide a firsthand look at the remarkable geological forces shaping Iceland's ever-changing landscape.

The grand finale of your adventure leads to the captivating Thorsmork valley, a place steeped in Norse mythology and surrounded by diverse landscapes. Your destination within Thorsmork is the lush Basar valley, a hidden oasis where vibrant vegetation thrives amidst the volcanic terrain. 

The guide will drive you through the vibrant greenery, meandering rivers, and stunning vistas in Basar and Thorsmork. You can also enjoy a short hike to immerse yourself further in the tranquility of this remote wilderness. 

After an excellent super jeep adventure in South Iceland, the guide will drive you back to Reykjavik, marking the end of this nine-hour tour.
