Relax and enjoy the landscapes while a professional looks after the driving on this day tour from Reykjavik. You’ll visit both Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon, with stops at south coast highlights including the Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls and Reynisfjara Beach.

With departure times around noon, this tour is ideal if you had a long day the day before. If you want to learn more about history and geology, you can upgrade the driver to one of our educated tour guides. During winter, the days are short, but we will take you to the sites in time so you can see and enjoy them before going on to hunt for the northern lights. As the name suggests, it is a hunt, which, with bad luck, may not be successful, but the thrill of looking out and chasing holes in the clouds while waiting for the lights can be an experience in itself. Remember to dress accordingly. Even though there are paths, sturdy shoes are advisable since they can be very slippery in winter, hence the name Iceland. A wind- and waterproof outer layer is also always a good idea over a warm layer, as you may be outside for a while waiting for the lights to show and, of course, walking between the tectonic plates.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a location where nature, history, and folklore converge, creating a place of rugged beauty and mysterious charm. Exploring the area through a private tour with a knowledgeable driver is an excellent way to experience its extensive offerings. The drive is remarkably scenic, with a landscape that unfolds as a wonderful symphony of extinct volcanoes, hot springs, craters, and lava fields formed during volcanic activities in the distant past. Possible stops include the rock formations at Gerðuberg, the black church at Búðir, and the seals at Ytri Tunga beach. The fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar serve as reminders of Iceland's history as a fishing nation. Further out, Djúpalónssandur beach offers a breathtaking view, where a lava flow from the great volcano met the ocean, creating a natural harbour. On the northern side of the peninsula lies the much photographed Kirkjufell, a cone-shaped mountain near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður.

Escape the crowds in Reykjavik and the Golden Circle by venturing to Iceland’s southwest coast to explore the lesser-known Reykjanes Peninsula. Discover bubbling mud pools, lava fields, pristine lakes and the famous Bridge Between Continents as well as some hidden gems. Develop a deeper understanding of the region’s geology and history with commentary from your guide and enjoy this special experience without unfamiliar faces.

Wild and remote, Iceland’s highlands offer rhyolite mountains, lava fields, geothermal pools, crater lakes, and a network of hiking trails. Experience them your way, your style on this private tour by super jeep 4WD that offers access to areas lesser vehicles cannot reach. Whether you’d like to luxuriate in hot springs, hike among the vivid colors, or hit the best photo spots, your private guide facilitates that.

Nestled between ice caps on mountain ridges and some of Iceland's most formidable volcanoes, the road into Þórsmörk nature reserve runs alongside Eyjafjallajökull. After turning off the Ring Road, it passes beautiful waterfalls, usually including a visit to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The great Krossá river meanders through this area with hillsides adorned with natural birch trees and lava rock sculpted by glacial water. After a day of hiking or super-truck-cruising through the Lord-of-the-Rings-like Þórsmörk, you can relax and await the appearance of the Northern Lights in the sky above the glaciers. Alternatively, depending on the time of year, you can bask in the magnificence of this microcosmos illuminated by the midnight sun. While the Golden Circle and the South Shore are undoubtedly great tours, this private tour provides a slightly different experience. It offers a taste of Iceland off the main road, allowing you to explore some of the last wilderness areas left in Europe.

The Golden Circle is a unique day tour in itself and of course the most popular one in Iceland, The Thingvellir Rift Valley, The Geysir Hot Spring Area and Gullfoss Waterfall are all amazing and each worth the trip but if there is one added experience that might make it the greatest day tour of your life and tie the whole thing together it would be a visit to Lanfjökull Glacier. Almost one thousand square kilometers of ice, second largest glacier in Iceland and the water source for Hvítá Glacial River, Thingvellir Lake and Gvendarbrunnar, main fresh water supply for Reykjavík. This is an experience like no other and doing it with a Private Driver in a superjeep is a way to create an unforgettable experience.
