Great tour to amazing Asjka

Published on Sep, 2023

We took a great tour during September when most tourists had left. The jeep is comfy and our guide had been just great. Told us many stories about landscape and people, a great personal touch. Will forever remember this tour. Worth the money!

DEFINITELY THE WAY TO GO!!

We wanted to hike at Askja and wer debating weater or not to drive up or do the tour. we have experience driving rough roads and crossing glacial streams in 4x4, but I really didn't want the stress of doing so. Smart move. Here is why: 1) The road is Looooong ( 100km of F-Roads at least) and really rough. This would nopt have been fun 2) Our guide was great, fun and deeply knowledgeable. He was also able to cover that 100+km in less than half the time it would have taken us. (as it was it was 3-4 hours each way to get there.) 2) Super jeep way high, great perspective, and a relatively smooth ride. Relatively..... they are lava fields. 8 people in jeep total. did not feel like a bus or corwded tour. 4)Side stops were great- places I wouldnt have known about, including agreat little rest spot with the best moss soup I've had in Iceland. 5) Askja is amazing-- it was really windy ( 60-70 mph gusts) and some volcanic activity, so no swimming in Viti, but still worth every minute.

Great guide, small group

Bathing inside Viti - simply the most amazing daytrip!

Published on Aug, 2020

Highlight after highlight on this daytour! 1. Wonderful views over ragged lavafields and volcanoes 2. Crossing rivers and seeing gorgeous waterfalls 3. Walking through the snowy Askja crater 4. Hiking down the Viti-crater (special muddy experience!) 5. BATHING INSIDE THE VITI CRATER LAKE (WOW!!!!!) and smelling infernal sulfur 6. Seeing the most amazing reflections of the mountains in the Öskjuvatn 7. Driving through a sand desert (close) to the Holuhraun Lavafield and escaping a sandstorm ( :D ) 8. Having the coolest guide ever: Thanks so much Julli! A must-do on an Iceland itinerary! Thanks so much for this amazing day!
