Iceland · SUPER JEEP SAFARIS
Good super jeep tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Super Jeep tour from Vík to Katla Ice Cave with a glacier walk, blue ice and ash, small group thrills, and optional waterfall stops.
“Our guide was excellent, was fun and friendly, explained about the cave and interesting facts, answered our questions and gave us plenty of time in the cave. He also was great at taking photos of us!”
A Super Jeep drive and guided walk into Vatnajökull’s crystal ice caves at Jökulsárlón, with safety gear and photo-ready stops in 2.5 hours.
“Sofia was an super guide! Very sweet and giving good information. We got to take superbe images and videos thanks to her! Great group activity and also nice food trucks to eat at lunch.”
Super Jeep access to Katla Volcano Geopark, a glacier walk with crampons, then a guided Katla ice cave visit plus coffee in Vík.
“A very unique experience. The ride was a bit longer than normal but still fine. It had snowed a lot in the days before. With the snow, the hike to the cave was somewhat harder than normal or do our guide said. It wasn’t bad, just some deeper snow at times. The caves were beautiful. The knowledge of our guide Stefan was great. Gave some history, details on practical operations at the caves and how they maintain them. It was fantastic.”
Katla Ice Cave by Super Jeep from Vík. Guided crampon walk into rare glacier ice under Katla Volcano. Safety gear included.
“We loved this experience! The ice cave was really cool. Our guide, Syra, was great! She was extremely knowledgeable and had an answer to all our questions. We would recommend this tour, especially with Syra!”
Super Jeep from Jökulsárlón to Vatnajökull's crystal blue ice cave. Certified glacier guide, gear, and top photo spots.
“This is a must see in Iceland! Our guide, Thorty, was so knowledgeable about everything. The hike to the cave was so beautiful. You cross a spring that you can drink directly from and then when you get to the cave your eyes won’t believe what your seeing. Mother Nature truly is amazing!”
Cozy Reykjavik Northern Lights 4x4 minibus with hot cocoa, Icelandic pastries, hand warmers, guide photos, and flexible rebooking if skies fail.
“We went out the first night but unfortunately we didn’t see the northern lights even though the conditions were perfect. We rescheduled the tour for a different night which was straight forward and so easy to do and on the second attempt they were dancing all over the skies above us, what a sight 😊 We enjoyed the whole experience very much and our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and he did everything he could to keep our spirits high. We received some great photos of the lights and the cocoa and pastry was very welcoming and it kept us all refreshed. I would definitely recommend this tour as it…”
Reykjavik 4x4 northern lights tour with cocoa, pastries, hand warmers, and guide photo help. Small group, free rebook if no lights.
“The company was fine and on time and everything, but basically I paid $500 for three of us to go for a ride at midnight. I think the company should consider not offering the tour in summer months, or canceling and refunding when the weather is cloudy. I'm sure our driver had an idea we wouldn't see anything due to the clouds, but we still went. I understand the company has no control over northern lights appearing, but I wouldn't recommend this activity due to the unlikelihood of seeing something. I feel like it was a huge waste of money in an already expensive country.”
Golden Circle in a Super-Jeep plus a guided Langjökull glacier snowmobile ride from Reykjavik, with pickup and safety gear included.
“Loved this tour the guide was brilliant the snowmobiling was amazing we had a lovely clear day the ideal conditions highly recommend”
Chase the Northern Lights from Reykjavik in a 4x4 super jeep with warm drinks, free photos, and real-time guide decisions.
“Total rip off. Stick to the amazing glacier / snowmobile / Golden Circle Tour where you need to invest in a Super Jeep and the benefits they bring. Our tour started an hour late for pick up and we were notified very late this would be the case. Once picked up we then waited for 45 minutes parked in a petrol station for other jeeps because we had the hot chocolate for later which they would share and the other jeeps were late coming off the glacier. We watched many of the far cheaper large tour coaches drive past on their way to catch the small window of Northern Lights…”
Super Jeep day trip from Hvolsvöllur or Hella into Thórsmörk for river crossings, Gígjökull glacier views, and canyon walks.
“Icelandic nature is absolutely stunning, but the tour itself was a bit disappointing. I was under the impression—based on multiple photos in the “Traveler’s Photos” section—that the tour included a hike to the valley’s viewpoint. With a duration of seven hours, it also seemed reasonable to expect at least one substantial hike. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Instead, we spent most of the day riding in a super jeep with only a few short stops. Rather than hiking to the viewpoint, we visited a small cave and had lunch. If you're looking for a more active experience this tour probably isn't what you're looking for.”
Step onto Falljökull from Vatnajökull National Park with crampons, a short glacier hike, and a 4x4 ride to save your legs.
“It was an enchanting experience! The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We were very happy with the experience 😊”
Ride a super jeep to Katla Ice Cave for a small-group glacier hike, crampons, and a real natural ice cave that changes with weather.
“Peter was a great guide! He was personable and did a great job telling us about the glacier and surrounding area”
Super Jeep from Jökulsárlón to a crystal blue Vatnajökull ice cave, with crampons, helmets, and round-trip transport in 3 hours.
“The cave itself was incredible. It was very blue and large, just like we expected from photos of other peoples experiences. Our tour guide, AJ, made the experience even better. He was very informative, entertaining, passionate, and funny. He made sure everyone got great photos, learned about the history/geology of the area, and gave us plenty of time in the cave. Comparing our experience to those with other guides that we past, we really feel like AJ elevated our tour experience.”
Super Jeep Golden Circle day trip with a 1-hour Langjökull glacier snowmobile ride, pickup included, limited to 15 people.
“It was a long day, but every stop along the golden circle was amazing. Our driver/guide, "Thor," was fun, informative and energetic (he also drove us in an incredibly cool SUV/Jeep). The geysers and waterfall were great, but the highlight was driving snowmobiles on the glacier! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour.”
Hunt the Aurora from Reykjavík in an off-road super jeep, with warm gear, hot chocolate, and photo support. Weather decides, retries help.
“We were very lucky that night. The lights continued on for several hours and constantly changing.”
Every kind of Icelandic day out, and the best of each.
