Project Description
Take on a journey through Iceland’s highlands that will leave you breathless. Traverse the iconic F-roads and mountain tracks that define this rugged terrain and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Iceland’s wilderness.
Experience the extraordinary wonders of Laugafells and the geothermal hot springs of Hveravellir, where steaming pools and otherworldly landscapes await. Our expedition also takes us to the captivating volcanic expanse of Askja, where the forces of nature have created a mesmerizing terrain.
We will be driving back and forth across Iceland’s highlands. On the north side, we will take a short break from the dusty roads and visit the whale capital of Iceland, Húsavík. Here, we will go on a whale-watching tour before heading back up into the mountains.
With our sturdy Land Rover Defender Moon2, specially designed for Iceland’s terrain, we will navigate through the challenging topography with ease. The Moon2 is not just a vehicle; it’s a reliable companion, easily conquering terrains where regular cars would struggle.
As the sun sets, we will find solace in carefully selected hotels nestled in the midst of civilization, providing a blend of tranquility and comfort to rejuvenate for the next day’s exploration.
Join us on this extraordinary journey to witness the majesty of Iceland’s untamed beauty and uncover the heart of Iceland’s highlands in a way that transcends the ordinary. Every turn reveals a new chapter in the story of Iceland’s natural wonders, and every moment will leave you inspired.

Best Tour Company you can use in Iceland
We have just done the South Coast Private tour with Bessi and Cami and had the most fun, informative and fantastic trip you can imagine. What Bessi can’t tell you about Iceland isn’t worth knowing and Cami instantly becomes a friend for life. Bessi drives with extreme care and caution, even when off roaring, we always felt safe and saw everything we wanted. Please don’t think twice, you certainly get what you pay for with these guys. Thank you so much for the fantastic memories.
Adventure on the south coast!
What a spectacular experience! Highly recommend booking any tour you can find with moonwalker. Definitely worth any premium cost versus the traditional bus tours
Fantastic Icelandic Guide and Tour !
I’d have to say that booking with Moonwalker Tours was the best decision we made on our trip to Iceland. Bessi and his super cute sidekick Cami (his dog) were fantastic guides and took us to some crazy places in this amazing country that aren’t accessible to the mass tour busses and crowds. When Bessi says “i’m just going to deflate the tyres” on his massive 4×4 Landrover Defender you know your in for a Mad Adventure !
Exhilarating day with Bessi and Cami!
This is THE way to see the South Coast – in the company of Bessi, an easygoing, warm and knowledgable guide, and in the BEST ride – a massive jeep that whisked us away from the crowds, across rivers, up to a glacier, and along a black sand beach. We had views, experiences and insights we couldn’t have gotten any other way. All this plus Bessi’s adorable sheepdog Cami who rode and romped along with us all day. This is a day I’ll be thinking about for a long time – thank you Bessi! We hope to see you again.
An Unforgettable South Coast Adventure
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Moonwalker; we stopped in Iceland for a few days before continuing on to Europe and our day with Bessi was the highlight of the trip. We had so much fun exploring with Bessi and Cami – right away it felt more like we were spending the day with a friend rather than on a “tour.” We loved that the day wasn’t restricted to a set schedule and instead Bessi made suggestions based on conditions and we ended up on adventures that we never expected but that were absolutely breathtaking. Not to mention that Bessi is extremely knowledgeable and prepared for anything, so we knew that we were in great hands the whole time. I truly feel that we left Iceland with a friend (two friends if you count the furry one too), and we now want to go back in the summer just to spend more time exploring with Bessi.
Awesome Tours
We did two days of tours with Bessi, the Golden Circle and the South Coast, and LOVED both. We booked them as group tours but no one else signed up so we had him to ourselves, which was great. He was so friendly and easy going, it was great getting to know him and learning about living in Iceland. He took us places that the larger tours would never go, including off-roading to a cavern/waterfall, to a secret ship wreck, and to the best little fish and chips place. He also knew when to go to certain places to avoid the peak of the large tour groups. Everything was so much more flexible and personal with him. The highlight was the drive around the Langjökull glacier on the Golden Circle tour in his Defender, which has wifi! Definitely book with him!
