Tour Description
Private Luxury Jeep Tour to Þórsmörk
Join us on an out-of-the-ordinary luxury jeep excursion to the Þórsmörk (Thórsmörk) natural reserve, a favorite location for hikers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts hidden amid glaciers in the Southern Highlands of Iceland.
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
The experience begins when we pick you up from your hotel in Reykjavik in our luxury 4×4 jeep and begin our journey along Iceland’s south coast. First, we visit the world-famous Seljalandsfoss, the spectacular waterfall that you can walk behind for a fascinating experience and some fantastic photographs.
Journey Towards Thórsmörk
We leave the Ring Road and begin driving towards Thórsmörk, the Valley of Thor, a natural wonder named after the Norse god of thunder and situated between three glaciers: Tindfjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and the world-famous Eyjafjallajökull, the glacier-topped volcano that erupted in 2010, disrupting air traffic throughout Europe and the world.
Thórsmörk’s Unique Landscape
Thórsmörk‘s heart is situated between the Krossá, Þröngá, and Markarfljót rivers. Thórsmörk is not only a beautiful place to visit but a unique landscape in Iceland and the world, with powerful glacial rivers, vivid green moss-covered areas, birch forests, and black desert plains.
Glacier Tongue and Stunning Canyons
Our Private Luxury Jeep Tour to Thórsmörk, the Valley of Thor, takes you to the heart of Thórsmörk, which is only accessible during the summer months, where you can take in the unique beauty of Icelandic nature as you get up close and personal with roaring rivers, frozen glacier tongues, green mountains, and caves. We stop at the glacier tongue Gígjökull, from where you may hike up to the brink of Eyjafjallajökull volcano. We also stop at Stakkholtsgjá Canyon where you can enter the mountainside and gaze up at stunning 100-meter high cliffs towering above your head.
Luxury and Comfort in the Valley of Thor
In our comfy 4×4 jeep, we cross rivers and go deeper into Thórsmörk, where you will be able to take short hikes and enjoy breath-taking views of the valley with luxury and comfort.
