What To Expect

On this 4x4 tour with an expert guide, you'll head off from your pick-up location in North Iceland, usually, Akureyri or Lake Myvatn, and travel through stunning landscapes passing glacial rivers, mountains, and lava field deep into the highlands to visit the amazing Askja volcanic area.
Your group will visit the Hrossborgir explosion crater, the location where they filmed oblivion, and Gljúfrasmiður 'canyon builder' Waterfall. You'll then move on to Herðubreið, a flat top volcano where the beautiful Herðubreiðarlindir Springs is situated at the foot and are considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the wilderness in Iceland.You will also get a chance to visit the otherworldly Drekagil or 'Dragon's Gully'. Of course, the highlight of the trip is the magnificent Askja Caldera in the Dyngjufjoll Mountains, it is a 50 km2 subsidence cauldron formed when an eruption caused the roof of the magma chamber in the central volcano to subside. The caldera contains the Víti crater where it is sometimes possible to swim in the Summer.
