Breakfast will be available at your cabin before your superjeep off-road adventure – all you have to do is to choose which of the two optionsbelow you prefer!

We have had excellent feedback on how much clients enjoy this personalised & relaxed guided day. You will be in a Super jeep of up to 8people, though normally it is 4 and is in sharp contrast to the coach tours offered by other companies, which also cannot venture to many ofthe places that you will be taken to. This is serious off roading !

EITHEREyjafjallajökull’s volcano Tour

This tour will take you as close as is possible to the new large crater in Eyjafjallajökull volcano from the 2010 eruption and to places where nohire car can go. We drive up the slopes of the glacier in a highly equipped Super-Jeep and on our way take in the astonishing view over thewhole South coast of Iceland with it’s glaciers, and back across the Atlantic including the Westman-Islands. This tour gives you the perfectglacier experience; an exciting Super Jeep drive in the snow, walk on the glacier and the magnificent view over the south. This is realadventure.

ORPorsmork valley Tour

In your specially adaptedSuperJeeps you will have the thrilling drive of fjording glacial rivers and driving across the flood plain to see the lasting effects and landscapechanges following Eyjafjallajökull’s 2010 eruption.

You will be surrounded by an imposing mountain ridge and see spectacular landscapes. Stop at the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall , whichyou can walk behind and be mesmerised looking back through the falling water. If you wanted to see the “Raw Iceland” this is hard to beat!

We work only with local guides who have lived their whole life in this area, are very experienced & belong to the Mountain Rescue Team.They all have fascinating stories to tell of their experiences during the 2010 volcanic eruption!

My personal experience of the Porsmork Valley Super Jeep Adventure

Where You'll Stay

Saeli Icelandic CabinIt is perfect for a family or two couples with a separate living/eating area and two main bedrooms and an attic bedroom which kidswill love. There are two separate bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath.

This has been refurbished very recently and is a wonderful place to relax and look out for the Northern Lights after the excitementof the day adventure Superjeep tours. A brand new hot tub has just been added outside which comfortably fits 6 people.

There is wifi and mobile signal, TV with very limited channels (probably in Icelandic). The beds are set up as a double in one room, adouble with a combined single bunk bed above and then the attic has a mattress on the floor. We would therefore suggest it isperfect for 4 adults and 2 children.

 

Hotel Reykjavik CentrumDuring its construction, the remains of a Viking longhouse from the Settlement Period were found - now on display. Among thefinds excavated at the site were Iceland’s oldest human remains, dating from approximately 870 AD.

The hotel has 89 rooms, each fitted with modern amenities and all rooms have an ensuite bathroom.

TestimonialsWhat a beautiful country. Huge gorgeous mountains all around us with wonderful views. We loved the 24 hr sun as it meant we got so muchmore done than we had imagined – but came home pretty exhausted! The SuperJeep Tour in Porsmork was the best of fun. Thankyou for agreat trip.

We had to write to tell you about our wonderful stay in Iceland. The cabin was in a great spot with super views and we really enjoyed havingthe place to ourselves every night to just chill.
