The Land Rover is raised and modified, and the step up into it is high. If anyone in your group may find that difficult, contact us before you book: +354 691 1849 or mudshark@mudshark.is.
Join us on a four-hour ecotour and find out. We pick you up from hotels in the Hella–Hvolsvöllur area and show you what this is all about. We visit a number of spots that highlight these issues and end the trip at Sagnagarður at Gunnarsholt — a visitor centre designed to tell the story of land reclamation in Iceland. The guide is a local expert with a Ph.D. in botany and ecology with over twenty years of experience in the field of ecosystem restoration. Departures at 15:00 Monday to Friday, flexible at weekends. Available all year round.
