The Grapevine's take

Þórsmörk

This tucked away valley is blocked to normal cars by the Krossá river, meaning it’s determined hikers who bus or jeep their way there. The mountains are purple and blue, there are hiking trails to suit all abilities, hot pools to soak in, and camping huts to rest beneath the fresh air. “It’s just one of the most beautiful spots on earth,” said the panel. With all kinds of peaks and nooks and crannies, the area is full of natural beauty and folkloric significance, with all kinds of historical landmarks and spiritual tales attached to the trails and region. It has a very special feeling.

About this tour

Discover Þórsmörk — An Extraordinary Super-Jeep Adventure

Step off the beaten path and into the wild heart of Iceland with our Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour. Here, glaciers, volcanoes, and rivers come together to create one of Iceland’s most dramatic landscapes. Because the valley lies between Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and Tindfjallajökull, the scenery feels both powerful and unique.

Why This Tour Will Move You

Þórsmörk is one of Iceland’s most beloved natural areas. On one side, glacier rivers cut through the valley floor. On the other, birch woods, moss-covered slopes, and volcanic ridges create striking contrast. As a result, every stop offers a new view.

Travel takes place in a specially modified Super Jeep built for rough Highland terrain. Along the way, the route crosses rivers, follows mountain tracks, and reaches places that regular vehicles cannot access. Consequently, the drive becomes a memorable part of the adventure.

Explore Þórsmörk at Your Own Pace

This tour combines scenic stops with flexible exploration. Some guests choose gentle walks, while others prefer a more active outing. For example, stops may include Gígjökull Glacier, hidden canyons, rugged ravines, and sweeping viewpoints across Þórsmörk Valley.

Hiking can be adapted to the group. Although some paths are steeper, others are easy and relaxed. Meanwhile, guests who would rather not hike can still enjoy the landscape from the Super Jeep. Therefore, the experience suits a wide range of comfort levels.

Stories, Nature, and Local Insight

Throughout the tour, your guide shares stories about Iceland’s volcanoes, glaciers, and local folklore. In addition, you will learn why Þórsmörk holds such a special place in the hearts of Icelanders. That local insight makes the journey even more meaningful.

Recharge Along the Way

Midway through the adventure, there is time to rest and enjoy the surroundings. At that point, a light lunch is included, so you can relax, refuel, and take in the view. Afterwards, the journey continues deeper into this remarkable landscape.

What You’ll Take Home

By the end of the tour, you will leave with unforgettable photos and lasting memories. More importantly, you will experience glacier rivers, volcanic slopes, hidden canyons, and Highland scenery that many visitors never get to see. If you want to experience Iceland beyond the usual stops, this tour is an excellent choice.

Light lunch is included.
