SUPER JEEP TOUR TO FJALLABAK
Explore the remote beauty of Fjallabak Nature Reserve, one of Iceland’s most treasured highland areas. This tour is perfect for those wanting to get well off the beaten track and experience remote volcanic wilderness.
Fjallabak captivates visitors with its diverse colors, spectacular landforms, unique but fragile ecosystem, desert wilderness and peacefulness. We bring a deep understanding of the highlands to every journey, tailoring each trip to the day’s weather and road conditions. Along the way, we share personal stories, local insights, and ancient sagas, creating an authentic and unforgettable experience.
Picture green mountains, surrounded by the contrast of black deserts, never ending glacier views in the distance, mighty canyon and endless lava fields. There is no place like Fjallabak, it’s the Icelandic wilderness, where nature is king and human influence is still barely noticeable. Highlight may include:
