Starting with a pick up from Reykjavík in on of our specially modified super trucks we will drive up to the Hellisheiði Mountain and gear up for a quad biking adventure in the surrounding lava fields. Driving our powerful Yamaha Grizzly bikes on the extra large tires (we call them Super-Quads) is a great, action packed tour in the moon like terrain of the Blue Mountain Volcanoes. Afterwards we will follow the 1000 rivers mountain road over the mountain and cross the river many times before descending down to the grassy low lands on Iceland’s south coast.

​

Our next stop is the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and we will walk behind the veil of water, catching the refreshing water sprey on our face (remember to bring a waterproof jacket). Driving east from the waterfall we will enter “Volcano Alley” here we have the impressive Eyjafjöll Mountains crowned with the infamous Eyjafjallajökull volcano on our left and the volcanic Vestmannaeyjar Islands on our right and the powerful Katla Volcano in Mýrdalsjökull infront of us. This is one of the most amazing roads in Iceland, imagine seeing three of Iceland’s volcanoes through the window of your jeep!

​

At the foot of Mýrdalsjökull lies the Sólheimajökull glacier and we will drive as close as we can to the ancient ice floe before following the glacier river that comes from it to the black sand beach. There we will power our way through the sand with the relentless surf of the North Atlantic Ocean on our left side and the Mýrdalsjökull & Eyjafjallajökull glaciers on our right side. We will enter the road again at the famous Skógar waterfall and walk up to the 60-meter high monster to view it up close. After all these adventures we will cruise back to Reykjavík and arrive around 18:00 in the evening.

​

*Where, when and how much we will be able to go off-road depends entirely on weather and conditions, in other words it depends on the Iceland nature!
