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.
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.

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.
Iceland’s geology is the trip’s protagonist: layers of basalt and pillow lava born from eruptions that shaped the island, and glacial melt that carved valleys and left clear, cold lakes. Culturally, modern Reykjavik sits close to centuries of farming and sagas; guides often weave short stories about the land, farms and sea as they navigate toward vantage points like Esja and nearby high ridges.
Expect short bursts of rough driving and easy walks from the vehicle to overlooks. Terrain ranges from packed volcanic scree to boggy moss; the Superjeep’s suspension and high clearance make these sections accessible without technical hiking. Photography opportunities are constant—sunlit steam vents, mirror lakes and skirting ridgelines—so keep camera gear ready and secured.
Practical tips: dress in windproof layers, waterproof outerwear and sturdy shoes you don’t mind getting damp. Bring motion-sickness remedies if you’re sensitive to off-road jolts. Tours run year-round but daylight and road conditions vary greatly by season, so confirm departure times and cancellation policies. The experience balances adrenaline from off-road sections with quiet, wide-open views that define Iceland’s wild edge.
easy.
2 hours.
Minimal fitness required; passengers should be able to get in and out of a high vehicle and walk short distances over uneven ground.
The tour is approximately 2 hours and departs from Reykjavik; confirm exact meeting point with the operator after booking.
The activity is generally suitable for most ages, but passengers must be able to climb into a high-clearance Superjeep and manage short walks on uneven ground.
Weather-dependent cancellations can occur; operators typically allow full refunds if cancelled at least 24 hours ahead or due to unsafe conditions.
Tours are short and usually don’t include food stops—use facilities in Reykjavik before departure and bring water and snacks if needed.
The landscape reflects continuous volcanic activity and early settlement patterns; many nearby ridgelines were used for seasonal grazing since the Viking age.
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.
