Embark on a journey of a lifetime with this luxury jeep excursion to Thorsmork, Iceland's crown jewel of nature. This private tour is perfect for those who love hiking, photography, and exploring nature.

Thorsmork Valley is located in the Southern Highlands and is a natural wonderland surrounded by glaciers and stunning landscapes. A paradise for hikers and nature enthusiasts, the valley offers an unforgettable experience with its mighty glacial rivers, verdant greenery, and rocky terrains.

The 12-hour tour begins with a pick-up from your Reykjavik hotel in a luxury 4x4 jeep, driving along Iceland's south coast. The first stop of the tour is the world-renowned Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which offers a unique experience of walking behind the waterfall and capturing some stunning pictures of nature.

Leaving the Ring Road, the tour heads towards Thorsmork, the Valley of Thor, a natural wonder named after the Norse god of thunder and situated between three glaciers - Tindfjallajokull, Mrdalsjokull, and the infamous Eyjafjallajokull volcano that caused worldwide air traffic disruption in 2010. The Valley of Thor's heart is situated between the Krossa, Thronga, and Markarfljot rivers, where you can admire glacial rivers, vivid green moss-covered areas, birch forests, and black desert plains.

As you enter the valley, the tour brings you deep into the heart of Thorsmork, where you can appreciate the unique beauty of Icelandic nature up close. The magnificent scenery includes roaring rivers, frozen glacier tongues, and breathtaking views of green mountains and caves. 

The tour then takes you to the glacier tongue Gigjokull, where you can hike up to the brink of the glacier-topped Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Another stop is at the beautiful Stakkholtsgja Canyon, where you can enter the mountainside and marvel at the stunning 318 feet (100 meters) high cliffs towering above you. 

In the comfortable 4x4 Jeep, you can cross rivers and venture deeper into Thorsmork, taking short hikes and enjoying breathtaking views of the valley with luxury and comfort. With every turn, there is something new to explore and appreciate.

At the end of the tour, you are driven back to your Reykjavik hotel, with unforgettable memories of Thorsmork's captivating scenery and Iceland's unique natural marvels.
