Prepare to witness the raw power of Icelandic nature on this Super Jeep and short hiking tour. Departing from Vík, this tour takes you off the beaten path and into the magical world of the Kötlujökull glacier, an outlet of the massive Mýrdalsjökull ice cap.
Highlights:
Super Jeep Experience: thrilling off-road transport capable of handling rough arctic terrain.
Unique Geology: See the distinct black-and-blue ice and volcanic ash formations unique to Katla.
Small Group: Group size is limited to 14 guests per guide, making for a more personal experience with expert local guides.
Accessible Adventure: Conveniently located right off the ring road ~2.5 hours from Reykjavík, and suitable for most travellers with a fair fitness level.
Your adventure begins as we leave the Ring Road behind and shift our Super Jeep into gear for a rugged drive through "no-man's-land." You will travel across sweeping black sand plains surrounded by emerald mountains, a landscape shaped by centuries of volcanic activity.
Upon reaching the base of the glacier, the view is breathtaking. You will see high walls of ice streaked with layers of black volcanic ash—a visual history book revealing thousands of years of eruptions from the famous Katla volcano lying beneath the ice.
After a short safety briefing and gearing up with crampons and helmets, your expert guide will lead a walk across the glacier to the ice cave. Inside, you will explore a mesmerizing majestic dome of ice, carved naturally by meltwater. Your guide will share the geology and folklore of the region, making this an experience that is as educational as it is adrenaline-inducing.
