Overview of your Reykjavik tour:

I love this tour, because, even if we are not technically yet in the Icelandic Highlands, it feels just like it. And it is accessible for a broader period of time. I also love that the roads are not suitable for any kind of vehicle, as it makes the locations much less crowded than other regions of Iceland. One specificity of this tour is that it is not limited to sightseeing, in fact, two visits will have a historical interest, related to the Viking era. And, of course, as we are in Iceland, we will also do some sightseeing to discover breathtaking landscapes. To do this tour, we will be using my modified SuperJeep, to be very comfortable as we are driving on rocky roads and rugged terrain. This adds to the true feeling of adventure. At the end of the day, we will finish (depending on availability) by having dinner in a Viking-themed restaurant with the finest food and delicacies. This is the first year that I am operating this tour, and I am really looking forward to guiding you there.

Your Reykjavik tour itinerary

Pickup time at your hotel or from the cruise ship is rather flexible, then: - Our first stop will be the double waterfall of Hjálparfoss - We will then head towards Stöng, where we will discover the remains of an old long house that tracks back to the Viking era. It is believed that people used to live around the year 1100, then intermittently until the year 1300. The house has been found and excavated by archeologists in 1939. - Our next stop will be Gjáin, an oasis, with waterfalls, water streams, and lush vegetation in the middle of a dark rocky desert. - Then, we will discover what are probably the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland: Háifoss (High waterfall) and Granni. A gorgeous view. - Our last stop will be a museum/exhibition that is actually a replica of the excavated house from Stöng. This shows how historians think the Vikings used to live back in the days. - Finally, for dinner, depending on availability, we will eat in a Viking restaurant, offering fine cuisine made out of local ingredients.
