Description
We take course to the East on to the pipeline trail to Lake Thingvallavatn. Here we stop to visit the National Park Thingvellir where you can eywitness the location where continental plates have been drifting apart for thousands of years. It is also the only UNESCO‘s cultural world-heritage site in Iceland. From there we take the trail behind the picturesque shield volcano Skjaldbreid, and after about a two hours drive on tough trails and some river crossing we get back to normal roads again.
Drumbo river rafting basecamp is our stop for lunch and a great rafting trip on the river Hvítá. It is a beautiful river running through an amazing canyon, with fun rapids and a great optional cliff jump. Afterwards the showers and sauna are at hand before entering the road again.
From Drumbó we go to visit the famous nature sights of Gullfoss and Geysir before driving back to Reykjavik.
This trip offers an amazing ride through the landscapes and natural forces that have shaped and continue to shape Iceland. The ultimate super-jeep combo trip from Reykjavik!
