Description

Capture lifelong memories and explore one of the most stunning regions of Iceland with this private 4x4 photo tour of Thorsmork nature reserve from Reykjavik. Travellers looking for professional photos of their adventure in a place of otherworldly beauty only accessible with an offroad vehicle should book this tour today.

Thorsmork Valley is a nature reserve between three massive glaciers in the southern part of Iceland’s Highlands. Regarded as one of the most beautiful landscapes in Iceland, Thorsmork is especially popular with hikers and photographers. 

Today’s tour will allow you to experience the natural beauty of this beloved valley without requiring a professional camera and without photo-taking interrupting your experience. Your guide is also your photographer so you can enjoy the day with your friends and family without distraction. 

Your adventure starts in Reykjavik when your guide picks you up in a comfortable super jeep. The 4x4 Jeep is specially designed to easily navigate the rough roads of Thorsmork and the river crossings in the Southern Highlands.

The first stop is Valahnukur, a mountain that overlooks the reserve and offers some of the best views of Thorsmork. Your group will hike up to the summit to enjoy the fantastic vistas of emerald green foliage and impressive mountain ranges.

After hiking back down, you will stop to have lunch at the Langidalur Hut, located at the foot of the mountain. Enjoying a meal outside, surrounded by endless beauty and the sound of distant waterfalls, is a fantastic way to experience a true Icelandic summer. 

Once you have finished your lunch, it is time to continue the tour. Your experienced guide will take you to explore deep canyons, hidden caves, and secret waterfalls. The photographs from these locations will be spectacular!

The final stop of your journey in Thorsmork is the Gigjokull glacier. Gigjokull is one of the outlet glaciers of the larger Eyjafjallajokull glacier. Walking up to the edge of this imposing natural feature is unforgettable. 

After a full day of exploring the incredible Thorsmork reserve, it is time to return to Reykjavik. Within a week of the tour, each person will receive their 30-shot photo package, fully edited and ready for you to share with friends and family. 

Each photo package will contain portraits, group shots, and landscape photos from each location you visited. These professional pictures are a wonderful memento of a day spent exploring Thorsmork.

Adventurous travellers who wish to explore Thorsmork, one of Iceland’s most beautiful natural areas, and receive a photo package of their day will appreciate this private 4x4 tour of the reserve. Check availability now by choosing a date.
