On your part in making the excursion as comfortable as possible, don’t forget to dress up in warm clothing and good hiking shoes. The weather in Iceland can be cold and unpredictable, so a jacket with warm layers is ideal.

Soon after, your small group will slowly enter the Highlands region, away from the busy tourist crowds. You’ll cross a diverse terrain intersected by cold glacial rivers that will make your experience more thrilling.

During the trip, you’ll get closest to one of Eyjafjallajokull’s outlet glaciers, Gigjokull.

While having an excellent sightseeing experience, you’ll hear trivia and stories from the guide about Thorsmork and its neighboring attractions. One interesting fact to discover is that the valley was named after the Norse god of thunder, Thor.
