About this tour

Private Super Jeep Safari on the Svalvogar Trail

Discover the ultimate off-the-beaten-path adventure in the Westfjords with our exclusive private super jeep safari on the Svalvogar trail. This tour offers an unparalleled experience through one of Iceland’s most rugged and scenic landscapes. Journey through sharp cliffs and imposing mountains, soak in inspiring fjord views, and explore surf-battered beaches and colorful rock formations. Encounter ancient volcanic layers, serene creeks, haunted valleys, rich birdlife, and diverse vegetation.

Highlights:

  • Svalvogar Peninsula: This 50 km trail is a slow-going, thrilling ride that takes approximately 4 hours to complete. Navigate beneath towering cliffs and steep mountains, with opportunities to walk sections of the trail and enjoy frequent stops for sightseeing.
  • Wildlife and Nature: Spot a variety of birds and vegetation, marvel at stark cliffs and unique rock formations. Keep an eye out for seals, arctic foxes, and even whales, while free-roaming sheep add a touch of local charm.
  • Seasonal Beauty: Early summer showcases seasonal waterfalls and vibrant lupine fields, while late summer brings autumn colors and ripe wild bilberries ready for picking.

Important Information:

Please note that no rental car insurance covers the full Svalvogar circle, and the trail can be challenging and intimidating for first-time drivers. For your safety and the best experience, we strongly advise against attempting this drive on your own.
