Start by climbing on board one of the different types of Super Jeeps, a 4x4 vehicle, which has been specially modifed by Icelanders to be able to travel on the rugged tracks of their country.
Many of these rugged conditions are to be found within a short distance from Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland, provided you know where to go! Within mintues of leaving the capital, these magnificent vehicles are put to the test by effortlessly climbing the 335 m / 1,100 feet to the top of "Úlfarsfell" mountain - and once at the summit, the visitor is greeted by the sight of, quite literally, the city at their feet.
We continue, following the hot water pipe line to its source, that is to say, the apparently dormant volcano Hengill and nearby Lake Þingvallavatn (Iceland's largest natural lake). We pause at the viewpoint situated on the flanks of the volcano itself, taking the opportunity to gaze over the geothermal plant and to view the surreal landscape dotted with steam vents and bore holes.
The 4x4's will then bring you along the river Sog with its hydropower plants onwards to the hot spring village of Hveragerði. We then head back to Reykjavik, but not the "normal" way!
Our expert drivers take you over the ancient lava plateau of Hellisheiði. On the way, if conditions allow, we will get a last bumpy ride on the "Thousand Waters Route", splashing through the river.
Please note that this tour will only be available until 31 December 2010. On 1 January 2011 we will start operating a new Super Jeep tour to Þórsmörk, called
AH141 Þórsmörk by Super Jeep.
