About this experience

This private, full-day Super Jeep tour combines the classic Golden Circle route with an exhilarating off-road journey to the Langjökull glacier — Iceland's second largest ice cap. With hotel pickup included and a flexible start time, the itinerary is tailored entirely to your group.

The tour begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart. This is also where Viking settlers established Iceland's first parliament over 1,000 years ago. From there, the route continues to the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur, home to bubbling hot springs, steam vents, and Strokkur — one of Iceland's most powerful geysers, erupting approximately every five minutes.

The Golden Circle concludes at Gullfoss, a dramatic two-tiered waterfall that plunges into a deep glacial gorge. After a lunch break at Gullfoss Café, your Super Jeep heads off-road into the highlands toward the Langjökull glacier area. En route back, the tour stops at Faxi, a wide and picturesque waterfall, before returning to Reykjavík.

Optional add-ons available at extra cost include snowmobiling on Langjökull (weather permitting), a Monster Truck upgrade for larger groups, a Secret Lagoon visit, and a helicopter transfer back to Reykjavík.

Experience details

Your guide collects your group directly from your Reykjavík hotel, and the day unfolds at a pace suited to a private party. The route follows the Golden Circle before heading off-road into Iceland's interior highlands.

  • Þingvellir National Park: Walk the rift valley between two continents and explore the site of the world's oldest parliament.
  • Geysir geothermal area: Watch Strokkur erupt, observe hot springs and steam vents, and take in the otherworldly blue algae formations.
  • Gullfoss waterfall: Experience the full force of this iconic two-tiered cascade, then take a lunch break at the on-site café.
  • Langjökull glacier area: Board the Super Jeep for an off-road drive across rough highland terrain to Iceland's second largest glacier.
  • Faxi waterfall: A quieter, scenic stop on the return leg before arriving back in Reykjavík.

The operator reserves the right to reverse the route to avoid congestion. Iceland's weather can change rapidly — dress in waterproof layers and wear sturdy walking shoes.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this tour private?
The tour is exclusive to your group for the entire day. No other travellers share your vehicle, and the itinerary, pace, and start time are arranged around your group's preferences rather than a fixed shared schedule.
Can children join this tour?
Yes. Children aged 0–11 years have their own price category at checkout. Children are welcome on the Super Jeep and glacier portions of the tour. Note that the minimum age to ride as a snowmobile passenger is 6 years, and operators require a valid driver's licence to drive a snowmobile independently.
What is the Langjökull glacier, and why does it need a Super Jeep?
Langjökull is Iceland's second largest ice cap, covering 953 km². Reaching the glacier area requires crossing rough highland terrain that standard vehicles and coaches cannot access. The high-clearance Super Jeep is purpose-built for this off-road environment.
What optional add-ons are available?
You can add snowmobiling on Langjökull glacier (weather permitting, at extra cost), upgrade to a Monster Truck for groups of up to 10 people, include a visit to the Secret Lagoon natural hot springs near Fluðir, or arrange a helicopter transfer back to Reykjavík from the glacier or Gullfoss area.
What should I wear on this tour?
Iceland's weather can shift through all four seasons in a single day. Wear waterproof outer layers, pack warm mid-layers, and bring sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots. This applies year-round, as conditions on the glacier and at highland stops can be cold and wet even in summer.
Does the tour run all year?
Yes, this tour operates year-round. The route or order of stops may be adjusted by the operator to avoid congestion or to account for seasonal conditions, but all key destinations remain part of the itinerary.
