About this experience

Experience Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route in a specially modified 4x4 Super Jeep, designed for comfort, stability, and access to all major highlights along the Golden Circle. With 4 PM and 5 PM departures, this tour is perfectly timed to let you explore Iceland’s iconic landscapes in the soft evening light of the Midnight Sun while avoiding the busiest hours of the day.

Your journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s history and geology meet in a dramatic rift valley between two tectonic plates. From there, continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where you will witness Strokkur erupting regularly, sending boiling water high into the air surrounded by steaming vents and colorful hot springs.

Next, visit the powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders, where glacial water plunges into a rugged canyon creating a powerful and unforgettable display. The adventure continues to Faxafoss Waterfall, a more peaceful and lesser-visited stop that offers a calm contrast and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

You will also explore the striking Kerið Volcanic Crater, known for its vivid red slopes and deep blue lake at its center. A walking path around the rim provides panoramic views and a closer look at Iceland’s volcanic landscape.

One of the key advantages of this Super Jeep evening tour is the timing. As most day tours return to Reykjavík, you will experience these iconic sites in a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, allowing for better photos and a more personal connection with each location.

With a private Super Jeep and an experienced local driver-guide exclusively for your group, this tour offers a flexible and comfortable way to explore the Golden Circle. It is ideal for travelers who want adventure, exclusivity, and the magical atmosphere of Iceland’s summer evening light in one unforgettable journey.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. 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 roads — the Road Administration shuts the mountain roads before the operator has to decide anything. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1VAREN Iceland 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 1 day 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

  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
  • Not available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.

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

Super jeeps — questions people ask

What is a super jeep?

A four-wheel-drive truck or van rebuilt for Iceland: raised suspension, huge low-pressure tyres and a snorkel, so it can cross rivers, drive on snow and climb glacier tracks that stop a rental car. Groups are small, usually eight to sixteen people. Super jeeps are how you reach Landmannalaugar in the highlands, ice caves under Mýrdalsjökull and dark northern-lights spots off the main roads. They are pricier than a coach, and rougher.

Is a super jeep northern lights tour better than a bus?

Slightly, for two reasons. A super jeep can leave the tarmac and find darker, more sheltered spots, and with ten people rather than fifty you spend less time waiting at stops. Arctic Adventures' Northern Lights Explorer (/experience/209/) and Northern Lights by 4x4 (/experience/1088067/) are the standard options. The sky is the same either way; a jeep does not make clouds part. If budget matters, a small-group minibus gets you most of the benefit.

When can you take a super jeep to Landmannalaugar?

Late June to September, once the highland roads open. The Landmannalaugar Safari (/experience/341/) is a twelve-hour day from Reykjavík with river crossings, a short hike and a soak in the natural hot river. The rest of the year the road is closed to everything except specially licensed winter expeditions. The dates the F-roads open vary each year with the snow, so if you are booking for June, expect a possible reschedule.

Is a super jeep tour comfortable?

Comfortable enough on the tarmac, bumpy on the rough stuff. That is the point. Expect to be thrown about on lava tracks and river beds, and to sit in a bench seat for several hours. People prone to motion sickness should sit in front and take a tablet. The trade-off is access: you see places coaches cannot go, with a driver-guide who talks to you rather than over a microphone.
