Tour itinerary
We leave Reykjavik and follow the route to Thingvellir, ranked as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. It was there were the parliament was established in 1930 and where the Iceland’s independence was proclaimed in 1944.
While travelling through the route leading to the Oxararfos waterfall, you have the opportunity to see the Almannagja fault, which is the result of the daily tectonic movements between the European and American plates. A stunningly beautiful view over the plain is opening from the park’s information center.

Lunch
The easiest idea would be to take a picnic with you. In summer time, there are many opportunities on our route to supply yourselves with food (restaurants, boutiques). In winter time, this is more difficult but still possible. As you leave Reykjavík, talk to the guide who will find a solution regarding this matter.
The trips on the glacier in Super-Jeep
Our trips depend on the snow and on the weather conditions. When the snow is hard and compressed, we can ascend quite high on the glacier. When it is smooth, we remain on the lower parts. In summer and at the beginning of fall, the glacier’s inferior part is very often frozen and cracked. Thus, it is safer to stay closer to the glacier’s margins. We take no risk, safety being always our priority.
It is recommended to bring the following clothing and equipment:
- Warm clothes such as fleece or wool clothing
- Waterproof clothing and windbreaker clothes (on a pair of pants and jacket)
- Waterproof hiking shoes
- Sunglasses
- A camera
