Icelandic Winter tour

This winter adventure tour shows you this northern Winter Wonderland through the eyes of Icelanders. You will get a mix of the city and the highlands in one weekend! This special tour is guided by Icelanders who have passion for winter travel. The tour takes place in uninhabited areas of Iceland far away from civilization. We use modified 4x4 self-drive vehicles (Land Rover Defender 110, bigger tires 38“, Snorkel, VHF radio intercommunication, GPS, air compressor) which were especially designed for demanding terrain. With these vehicles participants make their way through the snow covered highlands, cross unbridged rivers into Thorsmörk and visit famous attractions such as the National Park Thingvellir, the Geysir area and Gullfoss waterfall. The travellers are accompanied by a professional driver guide ensuring safety and giving them detailed information about the country, its nature and culture. We stay overnight in a countryside hotel overlooking Eyjafjallajökull and Thorsmörk. If we are lucky we will enjoy a beautiful northern light show above in the dark skies. An adventurous holiday and a very special winter offer! Please note that weather- and road conditions may affect the chioce of the route taken, but no less fun!
