About this experience

ASKJA & KVERKFJÖLL SUPER-JEEP – 2 DAY TOUR The Askja and Kverkfjöll tour starts from lake Mývatn in the north of Iceland, every Saturday from 28 June to 16 Aug. It is a fully guided tour with everything included. From lake Mývatn we drive road 1 to Hrossaborg and from there to Askja. Many stops will be made on the way to enjoy the area. At Askja we now have more time than in our day tours there, so our guests can hike the longer and more interesting A2 hiking trail from Drekagil to Askja lake and Víti crater. It is an 8.8km long hiking trail and rather difficult. However, it is great to see the Askja caldera from the mountain rim. It is also possible to hike the easy 2.4km long A1 trail from Vikraborgir parking to Askja lake and Víti crater. After visiting Askja we drive to Kverkfjöll where we have an Icelandic barbecue and a good night’s sleep in a mountain hut. On day two you choose between going on a 3-4 hour glacier hike with the park rangers or walk around the Kverkfjöll area. After the hiking in the middle of the day we drive back and stop at Möðrudalur highland farm and have a coffee before we continue to lake Mývatn.

Good to know

The weather in the highlands can change very fast and it is important to have good shoes and warm and preferably waterproof clothes

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is closed F-roads or a highland storm — decided by the Road Administration and the driver. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Geo Travel decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 0 hours before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not for anyone unsure on their feet or carrying an injury — the operator rates this as physically demanding, and there is no easy version of the day.
  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:30, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    Rúna was an outstanding tour guide. He brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude from start to finish. It was a very long day, but his engaging commentary and great sense of humor made the time fly by. He confidently navigated some truly adventurous conditions, including river crossings and driving through snow, all while making us feel safe and comfortable. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about Icelandic history, geology, and culture that made every stop even more meaningful. This was an unforgettable experience, and Rúna played a huge part in making it so memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland.

    We had a great time on our buggy ATV tour with Alejandro this morning! We enjoyed the buggy instruction, exciting tour, and interesting lessons about Icelandic geology. We already know this will be one of the highlights of our already eventful vacation to Iceland. Highly recommend!!

    We had a wonderful 2-hours ATV trip with Anton. He is a very experienced guide and gave insight into the land we drove. It was a lot of fun. Anton also helped us when we found out that we lost our car keys. Thank you so much for your help! Everything worked out very well.

    Booked a snowmobile tour and had a wonderful time! The usual base didn’t have much snow so our guide, Bjorn, took us up to the top of some volcanoes and it was a very cool experience. Bjorn was friendly and interesting to talk to.

Multi-day packages — questions people ask

Are multi-day tours in Iceland worth it compared to day trips?

For the southeast, yes. Jökulsárlón and the ice caves are five hours from Reykjavík, so a day trip is fourteen hours of mostly bus. A two- or three-day tour (/experience/6131/, /experience/923386/) sleeps out there, sees the lagoon at a sane hour and adds an ice cave in winter. For the Golden Circle and South Coast alone, day trips are fine. Multi-day tours cost more per day but include the hotel.

What is included in a multi-day tour?

Transport in a minibus with a driver-guide, accommodation with breakfast, all the listed activities such as glacier hikes and ice caves, and the entrance fees on the route. Lunches and dinners are usually not included; you stop at guesthouses and cafes and pay your own way. Single travellers pay a supplement for their own room. Check the tour page for exact inclusions, the hotel standard and luggage limits, which are tight on small buses.

How many days do you need for the Ring Road on a tour?

Six to eight. Six-day tours (/experience/785082/, /experience/876949/) get round with one night in most regions and long driving days. Seven and eight days (/experience/20483/, /experience/33665/) add the highlands or Snæfellsnes and give more time out of the bus. Anything shorter than six is not a Ring Road tour. Summer versions have the highland detours; winter versions swap them for ice caves and shorter daylight.

Should I arrive in Iceland the day before a multi-day tour starts?

Yes. Multi-day tours leave Reykjavík between 08:00 and 09:00 and do not wait for delayed flights. Land the day before, sleep in the city, and start fresh. On the other end, tours arrive back in Reykjavík in the evening, so do not book a flight home the same night. In the planner, put arrival on day one, the tour from day two, and leave the last day for the flight.
