)
Scheduled daily bus tours from Reykjahlíð (from Ikr19,000), but also offers super-Jeep
tours (from Ikr29,000); check the website for the difference in these offerings. Also offers
plenty of interior explorations (including a two-day tour to Kverkfjöll upon request) and

Geo Travel
JEEP TOUR
( 864 7080;
www.geotravel.is
)
Small-group tours from Reykjahlíð (Ikr27,500). Works with
Fjallasýn
to offer a two-day
tour to Askja and Kverkfjöll (Ikr78,000).
Jeep Tours
JEEP TOUR
( 898 2798;
www.jeeptours.is
)
While the rest of these companies approach Askja from the north, Jeep Tours runs unique
tours out of Egilsstaðir in east Iceland. Visit Askja (Ikr39,000), or Kverkfjöll as a day tour
(Ikr39,000). Tours travel via the (sealed) Rte 910 to Kárahnjúkar dam before tackling
lesser-known 4WD tracks. Lunch packs available.
Mývatn Tours
BUS TOUR
( 464 1920;
www.askjatours.is
)
Tours in a large 4WD bus daily July to August (Ikr21,000), and three or four times a week
the rest of the summer (while roads are open). This is the best option if you want hikers'
transport to the area, and to be picked up another day.
Saga Travel
JEEP TOUR
( 558 888;
www.sagatravel.is
)
Very reliable option from Akureyri; also picks up in Mývatn (Ikr45,000/38,000 from
Akureyri/Mývatn). Saga also offers a slower-paced two-day trip, overnighting in either a
mountain hut or campsite (price is variable).
