Venture into the heart of Iceland’s raw and untamed wilderness on a truly unforgettable Fjallabak Super Jeep Tour. This is the perfect adventure for photographers and nature lovers alike, as it takes you through some of the most breathtaking and diverse landscapes in the country. The iconic mountains of Hekla and Mælifell stand as the tour’s focal points, each offering unique features and incredible beauty. Between them lies an ever-changing landscape, from volcanic deserts to glacier-fed lakes, making this journey one you’ll never forget.

Hekla – The Gateway to Hell

Standing tall at 1,488 meters, Hekla is one of Iceland's most active and powerful volcanoes. Known as "The Gateway to Hell" in the Middle Ages, this towering stratovolcano has a reputation steeped in both history and myth. As we approach Hekla, you’ll see vast lava fields, rugged mountain passes, and surreal black deserts that stretch as far as the eye can see. These dramatic landscapes offer endless opportunities to stop, breathe in the wild atmosphere, and capture stunning photos. The raw energy of the land is palpable here, and you'll feel like you're stepping into another world as we pass by or through these otherworldly terrains.

Álftavatn – A Hidden Glacier Valley

Midway through the tour, we reach Álftavatn, a serene and secluded lake nestled in an old glacier valley. This beautiful spot is not only a resting place for travelers on the popular Laugavegur hiking trail, but it is also an ideal location for our adventure. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the valley remains surprisingly open, offering panoramic views that will take your breath away. The reflective waters of the lake, framed by towering peaks, provide a perfect backdrop for photographs. It’s a place where you can stop, unwind, and truly take in the beauty of Iceland's nature.

Mælifell – The Measuring Hill

Mælifell is a mountain shrouded in mystery and beauty. At 791 meters, this dormant volcano stands proudly against the backdrop of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, creating a striking contrast of green and black. Known as the “Measuring Hill,” Mælifell was once used by early Icelanders as a navigation point, guiding travelers through the challenging and often treacherous terrain. The mountain is surrounded by a stark and stunning black sandy desert, offering a surreal and almost alien landscape. As we approach, the rich greenery of the mountain contrasts sharply with the dark, volcanic sands, creating an awe-inspiring sight that is both haunting and beautiful.
