9 Hidden Waterfalls Super Jeep Private Adventure
A private journey into Iceland's most remote and lesser-known cascades, far from the tourist trail.
This full-day private tour invites travelers to discover Iceland's hidden waterfalls aboard a Super Jeep, reaching landscapes that standard vehicles simply cannot access. Departing from Reykjavik, the route winds through remote valleys and volcanic terrain to reveal at least nine distinct waterfalls across a single extraordinary day.
The itinerary focuses on sites that rarely appear on mainstream travel maps, including the towering Haifoss in Þjórsárdalur Valley and the fairy-tale valley of Gjáin, where small cascades tumble over moss-covered volcanic rock. Each location has its own character, from wide powerful flows to quiet, intimate drops hidden within canyon walls.
Throughout the journey, your guide provides context on Iceland's geology, the volcanic forces that shaped these landscapes, and the local folklore attached to sites such as Þjófafoss, named after thieves said to have taken refuge nearby. The private format means the pace adapts to your group, allowing time to explore without the constraints of a shared tour.
The Super Jeep format is essential for this route. Several waterfalls sit along unpaved tracks and river crossings that require high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles, making this an experience that genuinely goes off the beaten path in a practical and meaningful sense.

Itinerary Overview
The tour begins with a pickup from Reykjavik, where your private Super Jeep and guide will be ready. The drive heads south and inland toward the Þjórsárdalur Valley, Iceland's longest river valley.
The first major stop is Haifoss, which drops 122 meters into a deep gorge and ranks among Iceland's most impressive cascades. Nearby, Hjálpafoss presents a two-tiered flow framed by basalt columns and green moss.
The Super Jeep navigates to the hidden valley of Gjáin, a serene landscape of small waterfalls, lush vegetation, and volcanic formations. Gjafoss, known as the Waterfall of Gifts, is located nearby and adds a scenic cascade surrounded by dramatic terrain.
Urriðafoss is one of Iceland's widest waterfalls by volume and is frequently overlooked by visitors traveling on standard routes. Þjófafoss and the more remote Fossabrekkur round out this midday section of the tour.
The Valley of Tears at Sigöldugljúfur offers a haunting and visually striking landscape where waterfalls pour from canyon walls on multiple sides. Siguldarfoss, a quieter and less-visited cascade, provides a peaceful contrast before the final stop.
The tour concludes at Árbaerjarfoss, a remote and dramatic waterfall set within a quiet valley. After time to take in the final location, the Super Jeep returns to Reykjavik, completing an 11-hour private adventure.
