Join an exciting Super Jeep tour to Thorsmork Nature Reserve, a place so beautiful that its name means 'the Valley of Thor'. This family-friendly tour runs throughout the year and should not be missed by anyone looking to bask in the natural beauty of Iceland.
Thorsmork, spelled Þórsmörk in Icelandic, is an incredibly scenic valley in the heart of South Iceland, surrounded by majestic mountain ridges and filled with contrasting forests and lava fields. It is also nestled amongst three awe-inspiring glaciers: Eyjafjallajökull, Myrdalsjokull, and Tindfjallajökull.
To reach this secluded valley, your guide will drive you down rough Highland F-roads and cross several unbridged and gushing glacial rivers, making getting to Thorsmork as much of an adventure as being there.
Thankfully, the 4x4 super jeeps are fully equipped for such challenges.
On your way to Thorsmork, you stop by the foot of the Gigjokull outlet glacier to observe the effects of the terrible 2010 eruption from Eyjafjallajokull. This eruption stopped the air traffic around the whole of Europe and threatened surrounding farms with floods and ash.
Your guides are locals with a burning passion for the Icelandic nature and absolutely love their job. They will make sure you are enjoying your day from pick-up to drop-off and provide you with fun stories and interesting facts from the area.
Thorsmork in the Highlands of Iceland has a unique and special vibe that you will note as soon as you arrive. The surroundings look much like they have been pulled straight from the pages of Tolkien.
As well as enjoying the amazing views from the car window, you make stops to take photos and hike shorter trails. The longest hike on this tour is about 30 minutes, but note that each tour is catered to our guests' needs.
If you don´t wish to hike, then an alternative option is to walk a gorgeous trail from Langidalur valley over to Husadalur valley. You follow a trail deep down into the magical valley.
You then meet your guide at the Volcano Huts, located in Husadalur. From this location, which boasts beautiful views, you will enjoy a lovely meal, included in the price.
