Our 4×4 super jeeps can transport you right to the heart of the action.  This allows us to visit many spectacular locations that tour buses simply can’t access, including some locations that you will only see on a Katlatrack tour.  It also means that you won’t have to share the experience with 40 to 50 other guests.  We only host small groups on Katlatrack tours, so you’re always assured of our personal attention.

We know South Iceland like the back of our hand and we are constantly exploring and discovering new locations to share with our guests.  We love to uncover super-secret areas, most of which are on privately owned land.  Thanks to our local contacts we are the only tour operators who can take tour guests to these locations.  This also means that you will often get to explore many of our locations in complete privacy, without a tourist in sight.  You’ll leave with the feeling that you’ve just discovered a secret part of Iceland for the very first time!

Because we are locals, we also love to share the history and the ancient folklore of our home.  Every location that we visit in Southern Iceland has an interesting backstory that only a local can share, so ask us as many questions as you like!  We’re also happy to recommend a great spot for dinner, somewhere to shop, a hot spring nearby, or anything else you might need.

Driving in Iceland often means driving in heavy rain, gale force winds, storms, blizzards, thick fog and snow. After all, we wouldn’t have this spectacular landscape without Iceland’s extreme weather! Katlatrack’s guides are confident and highly experienced in all conditions.  All of our guides hold commercial driver’s licenses and they are also extensively trained in 4×4 driving and maneuverability.  We have state of the art navigation equipment on board all of our super jeeps and each of our guides is fully trained in First Aid procedures.

Because we know the local landscape so well, we are uniquely positioned to foresee unsafe conditions in advance.  We know how the rivers and streams behave, and we know what it means when the tide suddenly changes, or the wind blows from a certain direction.  Our superior local knowledge means that we can quickly move to a ‘Plan B’ if the conditions aren’t favorable for your tour.  (Don’t worry, we have plenty of incredible offbeat destinations up our sleeve.  Your ‘Plan B’ tour will be just as epic as anticipated!).

And unlike some tour operators in Iceland who often use other operators to conduct their local tours, Katlatrack tours are only ever hosted by Katlatrack guides.  When you book with Katlatrack, you can be certain that we will personally host your tour.  You can rest assured that you’ll experience the very best of South Iceland, complete with our extensive local knowledge, our impeccable safety standards, our access to private offbeat locations, and our personal care and attention.
