Automn tour along no 1, the ring road

Driving alongside the colorful Lake Myvatn. 18.09.2017

Mostly travelling with small groups on the own busses Best Travel got a booking for a larger group and rented a bus of the size everybody got a window seat. It was exactly the right decision as the passengers were very lucky with the weather. We travelled constantly away from the rain and got just sunny, warm and calm days except the last hours in Reykjavik. The automn light is especially warm and turns the landscape in a beautiful light.

Five times Sprengisandur

Driving the rough track Sprengisandur. 27.07.2016

Best Travel drove five times the longest and highest highland road called Sprengisandur this summer. It’s every time again a challenge and the driver always hopes the vehicle lasts as he?s responsible for the passengers. There are many kilometers of rough gravel road getting worse the longer the summer. Several rivers are to cross, many are easy but it’s wise to take care in Svarta as there are large lave stones in it. The rivers around the hut of Nyidalur can be very different, somewhen with a lot of water, the next time just with litte water. You never know… Continue Reading →

Great view over Fjallabak

4×4 Mantra enjoys the overview in Fjallabak. 15.08.2017

To drive F208 through Fjallabak is very exciting and colorful. Somewhen you are on top of the mountains to drive steep down into valleys and of course many rivers need to be crossed. There is never a boring moment and the landscape is more than stunning. It looks even the 4×4 Mantra is enjoying the great view from the top.

Hvannadalshnukur 2110 m

Iceland’s highest mountain Hvannadalshnukur


Best Travel was very lucky to see Iceland’s highest mountain today in bright sunshine. Hvannadalshnukur is 2110 meters high is part of Europe’s largest glacier Vatnajökull and of Öraefajökull volcano, Europe’s second largest volcano. Two big eruptions are known and happened in the years 1362 and 1727. It’s possible to hike to the top of this mountain but if you aren’t a experienced mountaineer book a guided tour. Anyway it’s fantastic to stand in front of all clear Hvannadalshnukur what is not very often possible. Later the day clouds and fog covered the scenery.

Best Travel’s 4×4 Mercedes Mantra is back from three tours in a row and didn’t fail at all even there were many highland kilometers to pass. Now the professional takes a good look at everything as three more tours are waiting. Start is next Saturday with the tour Kräftespiel der Elemente, where Fjallabak and Sprengisandur are waiting. Thanks a lot to J.G. to take so much care of the vehicles.
