The Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour
The Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour takes you into one of Iceland’s most stunning gems, the valley of Thor! Famous for its breathtaking scenery, Þórsmörk has long been one of Icelandic Highland’s most popular destinations. This tour takes you into the valley in a Super Jeep, a modified vehicle that can forge rivers and tackle just about any terrain. Riding in these vehicles is an adventure on its own and should be on every traveler in Iceland’s bucket list!
This tour departs from the Hella/Hvolsvöllur area. If you are staying in this area, you can either choose a free pickup or meet your guide and group at the base camp in Hvolsvöllur. If you are staying in Reykjavík, it is possible to book this tour, but please note that there is an additional cost.
Once you’ve met up with your group, it’s time to board the Super Jeep and head to Þórsmörk! On your way, you will experience driving through various terrains and unbridged rivers. During the tour, there’s always the option to go on short hikes to explore the area further.
One of the sights you’ll see on this tour is the Gígjökull glacier. This is the sight of powerful floods during the 2010 eruption in Eyjafjallajökull. Your guide will tell you more about the eruption from a local’s perspective, and you’ll hear some stories about this famous volcanic eruption.
After a full day of adventure, you will be returned to your selected location in Hella or Hvolsvöllur.
