Glacier Buggy Adventure at Myrdalsjökull
Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure with our Glacier Buggy tour, set against the stunning Myrdalsjökull glacier. Feel the chill as you race across the wild Icelandic landscape and marvel at the river reflecting the sky's changing colors.
After we have gone through the safety instructions we start the drive and our journey takes you to the glacier's edge, where the radiant ice cap contrasts starkly with the black desert sands—a sight you'll never forget.
Later, trough small rivers and streams, we will take you to the sandy beach which derives from the dormant volcano Katla. After a fun ride on the black beach we stop at the famous DC3 plane wreck to adore the amazing view up to Mýrdalsjökull glacier and along the big black coast all the way to Dyrhólaey, the southernmost part of Iceland. Along the mountains we head back to the base.
Perfect for thrill-seekers, this tour promises a unique ride. Whether you're a couple, friends, or a solo traveller seeking excitement, all you need is a driver's license and a passion for adventure.
Solo adventurers can enjoy the extra thrill of driving alone for an added cost. Trust us—it's worth it!

Nature's showstoppers
Among the stops on this tour are the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss is part of the Seljalandsá river, which has its origins in Eyjafjallajökull glacier. What makes Seljalandsfoss so famous and interesting is that you can walk behind it. We recommend you bring either a raincoat or a waterproof coat along if you want to stroll behind it which we of course highly recommend. Skógafoss, another famous Icelandic waterfall, is the starting point of the Fimmvörðuháls walk over to Þórsmörk. This most picturesque of all waterfalls is something of a film star, having been used as a backdrop in films such as Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
