Venture into Iceland’s remote highlands by Super Jeep to witness the iconic green pyramid of Mælifell rising from black sand deserts, hidden waterfalls and ancient canyons.
From the coastal village of Vik, journey deep into Iceland’s untamed highlands aboard a rugged Super Jeep. This is terrain few will ever witness, a realm of volcanic silence and ancient geology that reveals itself only to those willing to venture beyond the ordinary.
The adventure begins along the legendary Fjallabak syðra mountain road, where raw highland vistas unfold at every turn. Your first encounter is Axlarfoss, a powerful waterfall where glacial waters thunder into a canyon carved by millennia of persistence.
The landscape transforms as you approach Mælifellssandur, an otherworldly expanse of black sand dunes shaped by wind and time. Rising from this obsidian desert stands Mælifell, the iconic moss draped volcanic cone that has become a symbol of Iceland’s primal beauty. Its vivid green slopes against the stark black plains create a contrast that feels almost imagined.
Descending Öldufell, discover hidden waterfalls fed by glacial meltwater and freshwater springs, secret cascades known only to those who explore these remote highlands. The journey continues to Hólmsárfoss and the dramatic Hólmsárgljúfur canyon, where geological time is written in every striated cliff face.
This 10 hour expedition immerses you in landscapes that exist beyond roads and beyond expectation. No previous experience required. Lunch is not included, so bring provisions for the journey.
