Summary
Description
Explore the fantastic sights of the Thorsmork valley by booking this incredible nine-hour guided super jeep excursion. Those eager to discover a lesser-visited area of Iceland and its natural attractions with a private guide should book this tour now.
The tour starts when you are picked up at your accommodation in Reykjavik in a super jeep, a four-wheel drive specially modified to tackle Iceland's challenging off-road routes. The super jeep will ensure you can cross the deep rivers surrounding the Thorsmork valley and travel with ease.
You'll meet your driver-guide, an expert in Iceland who will be able to tell you more about the sights you'll see today. Since this excursion is a private tour, it will be just your party, and there's no need to wait for other guests. You'll have the complete attention of your guide, meaning you can ask any questions you want.
The first stop of the day is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This majestic waterfall plunges approximately 197 feet (roughly 60 meters) from a rugged cliff, creating a mesmerizing cascading curtain of water that glistens in the sunlight.
The waterfall has a cave behind its cascade, where visitors can walk behind the falls. It's a fantastic opportunity to see a waterfall from a unique angle, feeling the mist and hearing the water's roar up close.
From here, you'll head to the Gigjokull glacier and hike to the edge of Eyjafjallajokull glacier. The Eyjafjallajokull glacier gained global attention during its 2010 eruption, which caused widespread disruption to air travel.
The Gigjokull glacier is an outlet glacier of the larger Eyjafjallajokull glacier. You'll enjoy an incredible view of the ice caps and will have time to take plenty of photos.
Then, it's time to drive through forests and across rivers to the Thorsmork valley in the remote Icelandic Highlands.
The Thorsmork valley is named after the Norse god of thunder, Thor. It's home to incredible scenery, including towering glaciers, rugged mountains, green meadows, glacial rivers, and dramatic canyons.
The Thorsmork valley is one of the most popular places in Iceland for hiking, and you'll get time here to hike and check out some of the fantastic viewpoints.
At the end of the tour, you will be driven back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
