Power through lava fields and climb ridge tracks in a custom Superjeep just outside Reykjavik. This two-hour guided safari reaches viewpoints and hidden lakes that standard vehicles can’t access.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low, rumbling Superjeep pulls away from Reykjavik and the city grid shrinks into a sprawl of black rock and wind-sculpted fields. In two hours a guide with local knowledge threads the vehicle up rough tracks, over hardened lava and across moss-stippled plains, opening views to crater rims and distant glaciers that push the horizon.
Difficulty
easy
Duration
2 hours
Fitness Level
Minimal fitness required; passengers should be able to get in and out of a high vehicle and walk short distances over uneven ground.
Wildlife
History
The landscape reflects continuous volcanic activity and early settlement patterns; many nearby ridgelines were used for seasonal grazing since the Viking age.
Conservation
Stick to vehicle tracks and established walkways—the island’s moss and soil recover very slowly, so minimize off-track walking and pack out waste.
Reserve your spot on the Jeep Safari from Reykjavik today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Dress for wind and rain
Layer a windproof, waterproof shell over warm mid-layers—the weather changes fast on open lava fields.
Secure loose gear
Bring a small dry bag or straps for cameras and phones; bumps and sudden turns can jostle equipment.
Prepare for motion
If you get motion sick, take medication before the ride—off-road sections can be bumpy.
Follow the guide’s instructions
Stay with the group and obey route restrictions to protect delicate moss and private land.
Windproof waterproof jacket
Protects against sudden rain and persistent coastal wind common around Reykjavik.
Warm mid-layers
Fleece or wool layers keep you comfortable during stops and photo breaks.
Sturdy hiking shoes or boots
Provide traction and protect feet when stepping onto rocky or mossy ground.
Camera or smartphone with extra battery
Long vistas and close-up geological features reward photography—batteries drain fast in cold weather.
