Private Superjeep Tour to Golden Circle & Langjökull Glacier from Reykjavík
Ride a Superjeep from Reykjavík through Þingvellir’s rift, watch Gullfoss thunder, feel Geysir’s steam, and step onto Langjökull’s milky ice cap. This private, full-day tour blends geology, history, and optional glacier action for travelers who want access beyond the main roads.
The Experience
Before You Go
Layer for variable weather

Bring waterproof boots
Trails near Gullfoss and the glacier can be wet and slippery; ankle-supporting, waterproof footwear makes the day more comfortable.
Charge spare batteries
Cold and spray drain batteries quickly—carry spares in an inner pocket to keep them warm.
Book hotel pickup
Choosing the included Reykjavík pickup saves time and ensures the jeep can meet you at an accessible location.
