Description
See the Golden Circle and drive off-road to the Langjokull Glacier area on this private Super Jeep tour from Reykjavik.
This is a private tour, so it's just your group and your guide.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Iceland's parliament was founded more than 1,000 years ago. Here, you can see how the earth is slowly pulling apart along the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and you can stand where the Viking settlers once gathered to pass the nation's laws.
Next, you visit the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur Valley, with geysers, hot springs, steam vents, and blue algae. Strokkur Geyser, one of the largest and most powerful geysers, erupts every 4 to 16 minutes.
The last stop on the Golden Circle is Gullfoss Waterfall, which plunges dramatically into a deep gorge. After a lunch break at the Gullfoss cafe, you head off-road into the highlands and the rough terrain around Langjokull Glacier, whose name means "long glacier." It's the second-largest ice cap in Iceland, covering about 323 square miles (836 square kilometers). Along the way, you stop now and then to take in the landscape.
After the off-road drive, you visit Faxi Waterfall, a small waterfall, before driving back to Reykjavik.
You can add snowmobiling on Langjokull Glacier when you book, at your own expense. You can also choose to visit the Secret Lagoon, a natural hot spring in the village of Fludir, or fly back to Reykjavik by helicopter from the Langjokull Glacier area or Gullfoss Waterfall, both at your own expense.
