We start bright and early on our first day, climbing the Úlfarsfell mountain with our Super Jeep for a great view over the capital area, on our way to Thingvellir National park, Geysir and Gullfoss waterfall.  We’ll explore lava caves and learn about the dramatic geology that has shaped Iceland.

All equipment, safety gear and clothing is provided. After our river fun we head down through the valleys to our home for the next 3 nights at Hotel Hekla.

DAY 3
VALLEY OF THE GODS

Next up is Thórsmörk, named after the Norse god Thor. Thórsmörk richly deserves its reputation as the “Valley of the Gods” and is one of Iceland’s favorite travel locations. Crossing rivers in our SuperJeep, we will see where the floods from the Eyjafjallajökull crater came down in 2010.

DAY 3
HOME OF THE SAGAS & Seljalandsfoss

We start the day driving through the charming towns of Hella and Hvolsvöllur, home to the Saga Centre dedicated to Njál’s saga. Seljalandsfoss is a stunning waterfall, where we will stop and walk up into the recess behind the thundering torrent of water.
