Þórsmörk, the Valley of Thor, is one of Iceland's most spectacular and hardest to reach places: a sheltered green valley of birch woods and braided rivers between three glaciers. The only way in is across unbridged glacial rivers, and this private tour takes you there in a Super Jeep built for exactly that.
Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises.
The day starts on the South Coast. At Seljalandsfoss you can walk behind the falling water, and a short stroll away Gljúfrabúi hides inside a mossy canyon. Then the road turns to gravel: your Super Jeep leaves the ring road and fords glacial rivers on the F249 track, with a stop at Gígjökull, a glacier tongue reshaped by the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption.
Inside the reserve you walk into Stakkholtsgjá, a narrow canyon with mossy walls about a hundred metres high, and at Básar you have time to explore the valley at your own pace.
Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, sagas and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture.
Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. In the highlands, water levels and weather decide the day, so the river crossings, the stops and their order may change, always with your safety first.
The Super Jeep takes up to 5 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.
