About this tour

Waterfalls, Hot Springs & Sagas

Borgarfjörður plays a central role in the Icelandic sagas, and its magic awaits your exclusive adventure ! Discover the enchanting region of Borgarfjörður in West Iceland on a captivating private day tour with Moonwalker. This area is a treasure trove of natural wonders, rich history, and unique Icelandic culture, offering a perfect blend of stunning landscapes and fascinating tales, easily accessible from Reykjavik in a capable Land Rover Defender .

Your Private Adventure Vehicle: The Land Rover Defender

On this Borgarfjörður Private Adventure, your exclusive transport is a classic Moonwalker Land Rover Defender . Renowned for its character and capability, the Defender is the perfect vehicle to navigate West Iceland’s varied landscapes – from scenic coastal roads to country tracks leading to hidden gems. It adds an authentic, adventurous feel to your private journey, connecting you with the spirit of Icelandic exploration.

Journey Through Scenic West Iceland with Expert Guides

Your adventure begins as we drive north from the capital in your private Defender, potentially passing through or enjoying views of the scenic Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord) area. Your certified Moonwalker guide (many with Search and Rescue (SAR) backgrounds and WFR certification ) is an expert in this region, passionate about sharing its stories and natural wonders safely.

Our first stop is the powerful Deildartunguhver , Europe’s most powerful hot spring. Feel the incredible heat emanating from the earth and witness the vast clouds of steam – a potent display of Iceland’s geothermal energy.

Waterfalls Born from Lava: Hraunfossar & Barnafossar
