Essential Iceland Off Road: Thingvellir and the Langjökull glacier jeep tour.
Things you will see on this Iceland tour:
Glacier, waterfalls, lava fields and lava caves, hot springs
Languages: English (French, Scandinavian, German up on request)
This day tour begins in Reykjavik and from there we drive to Thingvellir
National Park, site of the ancient Viking parliament which dates back to
930 AD. Next we drive through the barren mountain pass of Kaldidalur
(the Cold Valley) to Langjökull glacier where we will strap on some
crampons (summer only) for an easy glacier walk under professional
supervision, of course. In winter, we deflate our monster size tires and
take our super jeeps for a ride on the glacier. From Langjökull glacier,
we continue to Hallmundarhraun, a lava area where Surtshellir, one of
Iceland's biggest and most spectacular lava caves is to be found. After
caving, we will continue down the Borgarfjördur valley and visit the
waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. Then, we pass the historic site
of Reykholt and have a look at Europe's largest hot spring before
returning to Reykjavik via the Hvalfjördur fjord.
