Iceland travel guide and tour reviews
Vatnajökull looks bigger from inside the mountains. This super jeep glacier tour gives you a rare way to get right up into the ice country above East Iceland, with big panoramas when the weather cooperates. I love the sense of scale you get while climbing higher, and I also like that the ride takes you … Read more
Iceland can feel unreal. This private Super Jeep day trip strings together big geology and real Viking-age places in one long, satisfying push. I love the Langjökull glacier drive and the raw, close-up feeling of the Surtshellir lava cave. The one catch: what the guide can do on the glacier can vary by time of … Read more
Katla’s ice caves look staged, but they’re real. This private super jeep adventure gets you close to Iceland’s Katla glacier, then puts you on the ice for guided cave walking in ever-changing conditions. Two things I really like: the small group size (maximum 11) and the way the trip combines glacier time with a second … Read more
Iceland’s south coast rewards people with good timing. This day trip strings together big-name sights and a few quieter moments, using a 4×4 super jeep to keep you moving across rough terrain. You’ll hit famous waterfalls, walk near the glacier edge at Svínafellsjökul, then finish with the slow, surreal icebergs of Jökulsárlón and a first … Read more
A glacier snowmobile after the Golden Circle is a bold combo. This full-day tour strings together Iceland’s big-name sights with a real change of pace on Langjökull Glacier, where you trade waterfalls and geysers for engine noise and white terrain. I love how it pairs classic Golden Circle landmarks with a true winter adventure, not … Read more
Þórsmörk feels like another planet. This private Super Jeep day hike gets you into a remote valley in South Iceland between three glaciers (Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Tindfjallajökull), using a 4×4 to cross rough highland roads and glacial rivers. I love that your guide also adds real context—questions get answered in plain language—and I like that lunch … Read more
Eyjafjallajökull looks different when you ride right onto the snow. This Super Jeep tour from Vik is built for easy access and a guided glacier walk, with big views over the south. I love the hotel pickup option because it cuts the stress down before you even reach the glacier. I also like the small-group … Read more
Askja in a Super Jeep feels like cheating, in the best way. You get to one of Iceland’s biggest volcanic landscapes without spending the day fighting rough terrain on your own. The goal is simple: reach the Askja Caldera and get walking time around the geothermal water, while the guides handle the route and the … Read more
The night sky can be wild. This private Super Jeep aurora hunt is built for long searches, with a guide who steers you away from crowds and into darker, more promising places. It runs about four hours from Reykjavik, and you’re traveling in a modified vehicle designed for rougher terrain than standard tour buses. I … Read more
Big day, small roads. This private Iceland trip is built for variety in one long outing, with the big win being the Mountain Taxi Super Jeep. It’s designed to reach off-the-main-road spots so you spend less time stuck behind crowds and more time actually seeing glacier, waterfalls, and steaming geothermal power. I also love the … Read more
Iceland’s Highlands are easier with a super jeep. This day trip strings together serious geology—rhyolite mountains, lava views, obsidian caves, and even a volcano photo stop—without the hassle of renting and driving. You’ll get pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík plus WiFi on board, and the group stays small (max 19). One thing to plan around: … Read more
The sky over Iceland can change fast. That is exactly why this super jeep Northern Lights outing feels like a smart way to hunt the aurora in Reykjavik. I like that you get hotel pickup and ride out in a smaller, calmer setup instead of spending your evening herded with a lot of people. I … Read more
Ice waits underground near Lake Mývatn. This is the Lofthellir Ice Cave tour: a rare permafrost ice cave tucked inside a lava tube in North Iceland, where the whole point is to see ice formations in near-total darkness. The experience also starts with a super jeep ride through the lava fields, so you’re already in … Read more
Golden Circle days are common. This one has teeth. You get to leave the paved-road routine and tackle Iceland’s interior-style driving in a private Super Jeep, with the guide shaping the timing so the stops feel sharp instead of rushed. It’s a full day in the best sense: classic sights plus a glacier adventure that … Read more
Landmannalaugar in one day is a real feat. This Super Jeep day tour strings together Iceland’s Highlands highlights in a smart order, from geothermal steam to the surreal rhyolite colors of Landmannalaugar. I especially like the highlights-first itinerary and the simple choice to either hike or soak in the geothermal pool. The best part is … Read more
