Drive through the landscapes that doubled for Westeros on a private 4x4 day trip from Reykjavík. Visit Thingvellir’s tectonic rift, stand above Háifoss’s 122 m drop, wander the cinematic valley of Gjáin and trace Viking ruins at Stöng — all in one immersive day.

You step out of the Jeep into a breath of cold, clear air and the ground underfoot sounds like something older than roads — compacted lava and wind-polished gravel. A narrow ribbon of river cuts the plain; cliffs on either side look like they could hide White Walkers. This is Þingvellir, where tectonic plates quietly pry apart and where, on this private jeep tour, the landscapes from Game of Thrones come alive without a set in sight.

Layer for sudden shifts
Weather on the highland roads changes quickly — pack a windproof shell and insulating mid-layer you can shed.
Wear waterproof, grippy shoes
Trails are short but uneven and often muddy near falls; waterproof boots with good traction are best.
Keep batteries warm and spare memory
Cold drains batteries and waterfalls spray camera gear — carry spares in an inner pocket and a waterproof case for lenses.
Stick to marked paths
Fragile moss and young lava fields take decades to recover; protecting them keeps these sites intact for future visitors.
Waterproof breathable shell
Wind and drizzle are common; a good shell keeps you comfortable while photographing waterfalls.
Sturdy waterproof hiking boots
Gravel tracks and wet ground demand solid traction and foot protection.
Camera with spare batteries and memory
Low temperatures and spray from falls mean you’ll want backups to capture the dramatic scenes.
Microspikes or crampons
Useful for icy trails and frozen waterfalls in winter months.
