Private 10-Hour Thorsmork Super Jeep Safari Tour from Reykjavik

Discover one of Iceland's most beautiful nature reserves on a thrilling super jeep tour from Reykjavik. This 10-hour private trip takes you and a small group to Thorsmork in the southern Icelandic highlands, where you will witness vistas, glaciers, and other natural wonders.

The adventure begins when your friendly and experienced private guide picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation in the morning. You'll then hop on a 4x4 super jeep that will take you deep into the Thorsmork nature reserve. A super jeep offers many advantages, such as comfort, safety, and stability, especially in Icelandic terrain.

The main appeal of traveling in such a way is that you can cross bumpy trails and rushing rivers where other vehicles cannot. Furthermore, as this is a private tour for only a few guests, your adventure can be tailored to your interests and abilities.

Thorsmork's landscape blends contrasting elements, where lush greenery meets barren volcanic terrain. The valley is rich in birch woodlands, lively mosses, and wildflowers, providing a vibrant mix of colors with the surrounding glaciers as their background. 

Thorsmork's most iconic features are the glacial rivers flowing through the valley. The rivers' icy waters cut through the rugged landscape with immense power. Crossing these rivers requires your guide to ford them in your jeep or utilize suspension bridges, adding an element of excitement and challenge to any adventure in the area.

Among the many captivating sights you'll see during the tour is the majestic Myrdalsjokull glacier. Covering almost 232 square miles (600 square kilometers), the Myrdalsjokull glacier is Iceland's fourth largest ice cap. Moreover, it sits atop the mighty Katla volcano, which lies dormant beneath its icy surface.

You'll be hiking on the Myrdalsjokull glacier to experience its beauty up close. You'll discover its icy expanses and rugged terrain while enjoying its breathtaking vistas.

Next, you'll hike up to the Gígjokull glacier, renowned for its striking beauty. The Gígjokull glacier is one of two outlet glaciers of the bigger Eyjafjallajokull glacier that erupted in 2010, causing massive disruption in Europe's air travel.

As you explore the Gígjokull glacier, you'll see Eyjafjallajokull's imposing presence dominating the surrounding area. You will also see the remnants of the eruption that altered the landscape, creating new lava fields and ash deposits.

You'll make plenty of other stops at waterfalls, valleys, and black sand deserts, and enjoy comfortable, short hikes with your guide to stretch your legs and reach even more breathtaking views.

As your guide drives you back to Reykjavik, you can once again enjoy the breathtaking views of the Thorsmork nature reserve and beyond.
