The journey being an adventure in its own right, is navigable only by specially equipped 4x4 super jeeps during this season.

The departure is from Skógarhlíð 10, Reykjavík at 09:00 on Friday and we will stop at Skjól Basecamp at 10:45. Punctuality is requested. If participants prefer to self-drive to Skjól, they can park their cars there over the weekend.  

We request guests to be geared for snow and rough conditions while traveling, since you never know when adventure comes knocking. Read more.
