🗺️ Your Itinerary: Fire, Ice & Giants

01. Reykjavik Kick-off & Thingvellir Your adventure begins in a comfortable Super Jeep. Our first stop is Þingvellir National Park. Here, you’ll walk through the Almannagjá gorge—the site of the world’s first parliament (Alþingi) and a place where you can physically see the continental drift.

02. Geysir Geothermal Area Next, we head to the land of steam. Watch the vibrant colors of the sulfur pools before standing back as Strokkur erupts. There is plenty of time here for a quick lunch at the Geysir center and to browse local Icelandic crafts.

03. Monster Truck Glacier Expedition This is the “Big One.” We meet the Sleipnir Monster Truck near Gullfoss. As we climb the slopes of Langjökull, your guide will share stories of local legends. The ride is smooth, powerful, and offers panoramic views of the Highlands that standard cars can never reach.

04. The Ice Cave Experience Step off the truck and into a crystal-clear ice cave. Explore the deep blue corridors of compressed ice, marveling at the veins of ancient volcanic ash embedded in the walls. It is a surreal, “frozen history” experience.

05. Gullfoss: The Golden Falls After descending from the ice, we visit Gullfoss. We arrive at the perfect time to walk the cliff-side paths and witness the sheer scale of the falls as they drop in two dramatic tiers into the gorge below.

06. Scenic Return to Reykjavik Relax in the Super Jeep as we head back to the city, sharing photos and memories of a day that covered everything from tectonic plates to the heart of a glacier.

🗣️ Why Choose the Monster Truck Experience?

Most Golden Circle tours only see the glacier from a distance. Our tour takes you on top of it. By using the Sleipnir Monster Truck, we reach remote areas and ice caves that are inaccessible to standard tour buses. It’s a safer, more comfortable, and significantly more exciting way to experience the high Arctic environment while still ticking off all the essential Golden Circle sights.
