Explore the highlights of Iceland's South Coast and the hidden gems of the Iceland Highlands: Fjallabak Nature Reserve, Myrdalsjökull glacier, Maelifell volcano, and parts of the famous Laugavegur trail in a powerful Super Jeep—a heavily modified 4x4 built to handle Iceland’s most challenging terrain. Discover the best of Iceland on one epic 11-hour day tour—designed for adventurous spirits who want more than the ordinary.
We begin with pickup in Reykjavík and head south through ever-changing landscapes—lush farmlands, mossy lava fields, and coastal cliffs—towards well-known gems like Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, and the striking black sands of Reynisfjara. The ocean roars, spray rises, and cameras click.
Then, we leave the crowds behind and the real adventure begins.
The asphalt ends, and the mountains open up. We follow rugged gravel tracks into the wild heart of Iceland—into Fjallabak Nature Reserve, where the land is old and raw. For a time, we drive beside the Laugavegur Trail, crossing it in parts—a route that most people only experience on foot. They carry tents and trek for days. Thanks to our powerful Super Jeep—a heavily modified 4×4 built to handle Iceland’s most challenging terrain—we go far beyond where buses and standard vehicles can travel.
We’ll cross glacial rivers and explore a land shaped by fire and ice: vibrant moss-covered mountains rising from black volcanic deserts, colorful rhyolite hills in shades of yellow and brown, and emerald lakes shimmering in the highlands. We pass no towns, no signs of life, just silence and space. You feel small beneath the hulking ice caps of Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull. The majestic glaciers dominate the skyline as we drive through one of Iceland’s most surreal and untouched regions.
We stop where few ever do—at hidden waterfalls, remote lakes like Álftavatn, and the vivid green volcano Mt. Mælifell. Each place feels like a secret.
This is a premium experience for explorers who want to go deeper, farther, and wilder than most ever get the chance to.
