Description

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure on this thrilling super jeep sightseeing tour through the majestic Trollakrokar canyon.  This is an ideal choice for travelers who want to immerse themselves in Iceland's rugged landscapes while enjoying the thrill of being in a modified 4x4 vehicle.

If you are looking for a more personal and intimate experience, this tour is designed for smaller groups of up to eight people per vehicle, allowing you to see some of the most breathtaking natural wonders in east Iceland.

Your adventure commences as you arrive at the meeting point in the town of Egilsstadir and step into a specially designed 4x4 super jeep, one of the few vehicles capable of conquering the demanding, icy terrain ahead.

Your journey then takes you across the Breiddalsheidi heath, a vast and remote highland area with breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and impressive cliffs.

The vehicle's robustness will be immediately apparent as you head towards the towering Thrandarjokull glacier, where ice stretches out in all directions, creating a captivating and out-of-this-world scene.

As you travel deeper into the highlands, your expert guide will provide fascinating insights about the region. With years of experience and local knowledge, they'll share stories and facts about the natural landmarks you pass, enriching your understanding of the area's history and geology.

This personal connection to the landscape makes the tour even more meaningful, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way.

One of the first stops on your journey will be at the Bjarnahydi mountain hut, a popular spot for local mountaineers and adventurers. Nestled among the peaks, this cozy hut offers a glimpse into the mountaineering culture of the region, and it's a great place to stretch your legs before heading to the glacier.

Next, you'll continue to Thrandarjokull glacier, a magnificent frozen wonderland. Here, you'll have the chance to explore one of Iceland's many icy playgrounds, where the snow-covered landscape seems to go on forever.

The super jeep's powerful engine allows you to easily navigate this snowy terrain, making for an exhilarating experience as you zoom across the ice. Your journey will take you from the glacier to Trollakrokar canyon, named for its dramatic, troll-like rock formations.

The canyon's towering cliffs and jagged rock faces create an awe-inspiring atmosphere, making you feel small in the face of nature's grandeur.

These natural sculptures, formed by centuries of volcanic activity and erosion, are a testament to Iceland's unique geological history. As you stand among them, you'll be struck by the raw beauty and power of the landscape.

You will end the day back in Egilsstadir after an incredible adrenaline-filled drive through the highlands of east Iceland.
