Indulge your senses with Iceland's glacial beauty and unique Ice Cave during this exhilarating, full-day, off-road excursion.

Thingvellir National Park, Cold Valley and Langjökull Glacier

Depart the pier aboard a modified, off-road super-truck for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive to Thingvellir National Park, an UNESCO World Heritage Site. After entering the park, explore the landscape of Iceland's early parliament. Delving into the majestic hinterland, drive along the dramatic Cold Valley to Langjökull Glacier (Long Glacier). Langjokull is approximately 4,460 feet (about 1,359 metres) in length and approximately 4,000 feet (about 1,219 metres) above sea level, and spans an area of approximately 366 square miles (about 948 square kilometres). Upon arrival at the Langjökull Glacier, your expert driver takes your super-truck adventure to the next level during a once-in-a-lifetime journey over the ice and snow to the Ice Cave.

Ice Cave, Chapel and Bar, and White-and-Blue Ice

Located on the flanks of Iceland's second-largest glacier, the Ice Cave is located approximately 100 feet (about 30.5 metres) below the glacier's surface, and stretches approximately 800 feet (about 244 metres) in length. This amazing new attraction is a man-made cave that stretches deep into the glacier, and consists of a series of tunnels and caves carved through solid glacial ice. There is also an Ice Chapel and an Ice Bar. Crevasses that pull the glacier apart, along with sunlight penetrating the packed ice, are among the natural wonders to be seen during your guided visit. This cave-like tunnel leads into the icy underground, and, as the ice gets older, the colour changes from white to a magnificent, deep blue.

Húsafell, Lunch, Hraunfoss and Barnafoss Waterfalls, and Tunnel

Your guided glacier visit includes an introduction to glaciology, and an opportunity to learn about the effect climate change has on glaciers. The cave also provides glaciologists, meteorologists and other scientists with the ability to study the glacier in a new way. After this amazing experience, re-board your supertruck head back to the woodlands of Húsafell and proceed for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, your drive continues on to the nearby Hraunfoss and Barnafoss waterfalls; two of Iceland's most picturesque cascades. Following your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 100-minute drive back to the pier via the Hvalfjorour Tunnel and coastline.

Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of off-road driving and a moderate amount of walking for approximately 0.93 miles (about 1.5 kilometres), at times over uneven, natural and icy surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the off-road vehicle and at the sites visited. This tour is not suitable for pregnant guests, guests with back and/or neck problems, guests with heart or respiratory problems, guests prone to motion sickness, guests with a fear of tunnels, guests with limited mobility, and guests who utilise a wheelchair.

Get ready for an action-packed Super truck adventure during this amazing journey through some of Iceland's most stunning terrain.

Nowhere but in Iceland will one find vehicles like the ones we use on this tour. Crafted for uniquely tough conditions and rugged terrain even a term for them had to be invented; "Super Trucks". The vehicles are the result of decades of technical innovation and development.

Hengill Volcano, Lake Thingvallavatn and Nesjavellir Power Plant

Shortly after heading out of Reykjavík we'll drive up the mountain Úlfarsfell, where we'll have a spectacular view over Reykjavík and the bay. From there we'll continue to the Mountain Hengill area. Hengill is an active volcano, evidenced by its numerous hot springs and fumaroles, but the last eruption occurred approximately 2000 years ago. The volcano is an important source of energy for the south of the country, which is captured at the Nesjavellir power station. Near Nesjavellir we'll stop at a vantage point with a panoramic view over the large Lake Þingvallavatn and the beautiful region called Bláskógar ("Blue forests").

Hveragerði Village and Thousand Waters Trail

Continuing on we'll drive a gravel road along the lake and from there through lush woodlands to Hveragerði Village. There we will make a short comfort stop before continuing on our adventure.

After re-boarding the Super Trucks we head off the beaten track, by way of a trail known as "The Thousand Waters". Our convoy winds its way through numerous rivers, mud banks and streams. Enjoy the ride and savour the unique opportunity of experiencing Iceland's untamed nature. After all this excitement the trucks continue on an effortless drive back to Reykjavík harbour.

Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of off-road driving and a minimal amount of walking for approximately 200 yards (about 200 metres), at times over uneven, natural and icy surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the off-road vehicle.

Golden Circle, Þingvellir Rift Valley, Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area

Next, fly over the Golden Circle, which covers approximately 186 miles (about 300 kilometres) looping from Reykjavík into the southern uplands of Iceland and back. Along the way, your flight passes over the rift valley, Þingvellir, where the Icelandic parliament convened for centuries. Seeing the valley from the air offers an informative glimpse into tectonic plate movements, and bears witness to what happens to landscapes that rest on divergent plate boundaries. Afterward, fly over Gullfoss, the 'Golden Waterfall'. If you're lucky, you may see a geyser spouting whilst passing over the Geysir geothermal area.

Þórsmörk Valley, Landmannalaugar Highland Oasis, Jökulgilsá River

Your flight continues over Þórsmörk, a valley sheltered by three glaciers and sculpted by natural forces. Due to numerous foreboding glacial rivers, this magnificent valley is only accessible by Jeeps and specialised vehicles. From here, fly over the highland oasis of Landmannalaugar, one of the pearls of Icelandic nature and renowned for its multiplicity of colours. Pink and blue ashes, as well as black lava, are found at the Landmannalaugar. Red, brown and yellow are seen at the sides of the volcano next to it, where an obsidian lava field reaches from the sulphur hot springs down to a small, naturally warm river by a grassy oasis. The milk-coloured Jökulgilsá River flows peacefully towards the ocean. At the conclusion of your flight-seeing tour, return to the airport, re-board your coach and commence the short drive back to the pier.

Reykjavík, with about 120,000 inhabitants, is certainly among the smallest capital cities in the world. This sightseeing tour takes you on a journey to some of Reykjavík's most noteworthy sites.

The journey begins with a drive through Laugardalur Valley, the city's main sports and recreational area. We pass the Olympic sized, open-air swimming pool that is filled with geothermal water. The pool is one of the most popular swimming pools in the city and is filled with locals socialising year-round.

Árbær open-air museum

The tour continues to Árbær open-air museum where we'll enjoy a pleasant walk among the historical buildings located there. The museum was founded due to growing concern that "old Reykjavik" was disappearing forever. The city council created a public park and regional museum to preserve historical buildings from around the country.

Perlan

From the Árbær museum we'll continue to one of the city's landmark buildings, Perlan ("The Pearl").The building itself is architecturally interesting - its dome consists of reflecting glass panels on a hollow steel frame. Perlan has a viewing platform on top of the hot-water tanks which extends full circle, offering splendid views over the city.

National Museum

From Perlan we'll head to The National Museum. The museum is dedicated to communicating knowledge of Iceland's cultural heritage from the time of its pioneering settlement to the present day.

Depart the ship and drive alongside the city lake with a view of the City Hall. Travel past Perlan 'The Pearl,' a glass dome on the top of the hot-water tanks in Reykjavik. Continue through Reykjavik's suburbs, towards Hafnarfjordur.

The Blue Lagoon

Drive through the rugged lava fields of the Reykjanes peninsula towards the Blue Lagoon and stop for approximately two and a half hours to indulge in these waters. The Blue Lagoon owes its existence to the nearby geothermal power plant. The facilities on site offer changing-room facilities as well as a tax-free shop and a café. The water of the Lagoon is a steamy 98-102°F (36-39°C), mineral-rich and reputed for its healing properties. The blue colour of the water, the steam and the thirteen foot (four metre) high lava wall surrounding the Lagoon succeed in creating a unique atmosphere. This natural and very popular health spa is now a major attraction in the region and considered to be one of the most visited places on the island.

Return to Reykjavik, over the barren Reykjanes peninsula dominated by old lava-flows. From the Blue Lagoon, head back to Hafnarfjordur via a different route. While driving the Reykjanesbraut, see the Heidmork outdoor recreation area and the residential areas of Reykjavik. Continue along the coastline returning to the pier.

You could also go on a RIB safari or go horseback riding. Enjoy an evening around a bonfire and let a local storyteller entertain you with tales of elves and trolls and other hidden beings.

Day 4 -After a leisurely breakfast, we will take our private helicopter to fly to remote Drangey Island, home to thousands of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, gannets, kittiwakes, fulmars, and shearwaters along with ravens and gyrfalcons.

During pre-dinner cocktails a private lecture will bring closer some of the interesting facets of Iceland.

Day 5 -This morning you will fly from Reykjavik to the top Eyjafjallajokull, of one Europe's most famous volcanos covered by an ice cap. A special lunch set up on the ice cap will be followed by an exploration of the area in private Arctic Buggies. Eventually you will reach two famous waterfalls: Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. In both cases the water drops some 60 meters and one can even walk behind the falling water. Legends claim of treasures hidden there, but after the exploration on the ice cap some local delicacies and a hot chocolate will certainly be treasured.

Day 6 - Today set out to explore the inner core of an ice cap. In the morning fly by private helicopter onto the Langjokull Glacier. There you will enter a man-made ice tunnel at 1200 meters above sea level. Deep within the glacier you will feel transported into another dimension, a world of stunningly beautiful blue ice at the heart of this glacier. After refreshment inside a special ice cave, your helicopter will take you to the picturesque island Arnarey in the bay of Breidafjordur. A private lunch with the freshest produce of West Iceland will be set up for you. Later fly across Breidafjordur to Stykkisholmur, located on the Snaefellsnes peninsula.
