6Step into a world shaped by fire and ice on this exclusive Super Jeep excursion across Iceland’s youngest volcanic landscapes. Designed for those who want to witness the dramatic beauty of the Reykjanes eruptions up close — without committing to a strenuous hike — this tour offers an exhilarating alternative.
Departing directly from the Fagradalsfjall parking area, you’ll travel in a rugged, off-road vehicle made to handle steep ascents, rocky trails, and freshly formed lava terrain. Over the course of the journey, you’ll stop at three remarkable locations that showcase the region’s explosive transformation in recent years.
Whether you’re a geology enthusiast, an adventure lover, or simply short on time, this experience offers a front-row seat to Iceland’s ever-changing volcanic zone — from the comfort of a capable and custom-built 4x4.
Note: One section of the route includes a drive up a steep mountain road to access a high-altitude viewpoint. While the Super Jeep makes the ascent safely and smoothly, those with strong acrophobia may find this segment a bit intense. Your guide is always available to help ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the ride.
Notice: Due to the ongoing volcanic eruption, our Volcano Shuttle currently operates only up to the area with access to fresh lava. The shuttle will not go to the usual viewpoint.
