A journey through the viking age, to less traveled waterfalls, on the edge of the highlands

This tour is a seasonal tour. The reason for it is that the roads that allow access to most of the sites are closed or impassable in the winter time.

Even during the summer months, some sites require special vehicle to get to them. And we have just the kind of jeep you need.

We will also take advantage of this vehicle to drive on the backroads that connect those sites together. It allows us to cruise away from the crowds, and will give you a strong adventure feeling.

Finally, the main perk about this tour is to not only focus on nature, but also gives you an insight of Viking history.

After driving along a dirt road, in lunar-like landscapes, we will take a short walk to Stöng.

Stöng is the place of archeological findings of a longhouse from the Viking era, probably abandonned after an eruption from Hekla in the 12th century.
Gjáin
Among black lava fields and dark mountains, exist an oasis, with rivers and waterfalls flowing down a lushy valley, this is Gjáin.
Háifoss and Granni
Háifoss means the “tall waterfall”, and falling from 122m, is one of the tallest waterfall in Iceland. Its neighbor, Granni, is just as magnificient.

There, you will take a 4km hike to go to the bottom of Háifoss and feel its might and power
Þjóðveldisbærinn
This exhibition / museum, is a replica of the longhouse that we could previously see in Stöng. This will be the opportunity for us to really understand what life could be like in the viking era in Iceland.
Ingólfskáli – Viking restaurant
To conclude our day, but still carry on with the viking thematics, we will have dinner at Ingólfskáli, a viking restaurant with a fine and delicious cuisine, made from locally sourced ingredients.
