Midnight Sun Silver Circle Super Jeep Tour
Feel free to contact us
Description
The long days of Icelandic summer give Borgarfjörður a special atmosphere, with quieter roads and warm evening light stretching across valleys and glaciers.
Deildartunguhver demonstrates the region’s geothermal power, while Hraunfossar flows in countless clear streams from beneath dark lava into the Hvítá river.
A highland-ready vehicle and evening departure turn the Silver Circle into an atmospheric summer journey rather than an ordinary daytime sightseeing loop.
Itinerary
Reykjavík evening pickup
Follow the summer light north
Leave the capital at the confirmed time and watch the low sun move across Esja and Hvalfjörður. The evening atmosphere transforms the drive into an important part of the experience.
Hvalfjörður
Fjord scenery and a dramatic approach
Follow the sweeping shores of Whale Fjord, where steep mountains, waterfalls and sheltered water frame the road north. The journey provides a beautiful transition from Reykjavík to the geothermal landscapes of Borgarfjörður.
Deildartunguhver
Europe’s most powerful hot spring
Watch vast quantities of near-boiling water surge from the earth amid clouds of steam. This extraordinary geothermal source heats nearby communities and offers a vivid demonstration of the energy beneath West Iceland.
Hraunfossar and Barnafoss
Waterfalls born beneath a lava field
See countless silver streams emerge from beneath porous lava and spill into the turquoise Hvítá river. Nearby Barnafoss races through a narrow rocky channel, adding speed and drama to the tranquil beauty of Hraunfossar.
Húsafell
Woodland calm beneath the highlands
Pause in a sheltered oasis of birch, clear streams and mountain views before the route climbs towards Langjökull. Húsafell has long connected farms, travellers and the wild interior of West Iceland.
Silver Circle viewpoints
Quiet roads and luminous landscapes
Pause at viewpoints selected for the clearest sky, strongest light and broadest West Iceland panoramas. Long summer evenings create beautiful conditions for photography and a relaxed rhythm between stops, while the vehicle opens quiet roads beyond ordinary evening routes.
Return beneath the midnight sun
A glowing summer journey home
Travel back towards Reykjavík while the sky remains bright, completing a route defined by geothermal energy, waterfalls and the unusual stillness of Icelandic summer night. The bright northern horizon remains part of the scenery all the way home.
