Black Sand Beach Super Jeep Tour

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Experience Iceland like you never did before!
Join our Super jeep tour and drive with us on the black sand beaches. We will see the ruins of our first local airport and the lighthouse Hvanneyjarviti.
You get to see one of Iceland's toughest entrance to Höfn harbour, where we can see seals spying on us while we look at the amazing view of the mountains all around us.
Finally we travel to a mesmerizing Glacial lagoon that lies beneath Fláajökull or Heinabergsjökull. There is a big herd of reindeer that we are often so lucky to see on our way to the lagoon.
An experienced driver-guide shares a wealth of fascinating information about our airport, the harbour entrance, glaciers, icefields and their impact on our environment during the tour.

    Sudhurfjorur

    Suðurfjörur is about 400-500 meters wide and 12 km long sand spit that projects out between the Atlantic ocean and Hornafjörður. On the ocean side there is a black sand beach where the roaring ocean beats the sand and rocks. On the other side is a mixture of small sand hills with Lyme grass and small ponds with a vivid birdlife. Suðurfjörur are known for their diverse birdlife. There is also a lot of flotsam and debris that has travelled a long way with the ocean. This sand beach is a magnificent and magical place and you always see something new, each time you drive out there.

    Heinabergsjokull

    We cross an old bridge on our way back. It was probably a big bridge when it was built. But now our Super Jeep barely fits on it.
