What's this trip about?

    Experience the thrill of snowmobiling across an Arctic glacier, and traveling in a specially modified Super Jeep vehicle to visit geothermal geysers, frozen waterfalls and unique volcanic formations. The Northern Lights beckon during a guided journey to learn their shimmering secrets. And no stop on your travels to Iceland is complete without a visit to the famed Blue Lagoon, where the geothermal waters offer exhilarating relaxation. Your Super Jeep vehicle was originally a standard truck, SUV or van that was modified according to strict regulations in Iceland. It is basically a specially equipped 4x4 vehicle with very tall tires (36-46 inches), which was designed to be driven in demanding Icelandic terrains. This special vehicle enables you to travel to Iceland and experience more of the stunning scenery that can’t be accessed with traditional vehicles. *Please note: The Blue Lagoon has a minimum age requirement of 2 years old. **Please note:  Drivers need to present a valid driver’s license in order to drive a snowmobile (minimum age 17 years old). Two people share each snowmobile. Snowmobiling is dependent on snow layers.
