Thorsmork Nature Reserve - a Real 4x4 Adventure Day Tour from Reykjavik

Thorsmork is a wide valley named after Thor, the Viking God of Thunder. The rugged nature of green valleys, steep mountains, clear creeks and wild rivers make Thorsmork one of the country´s most popular hiking grounds. Surrounded by 3 glaciers, Myrdalsjokull, Eyjafjallajokull and Tindfjallajokull in the southern part of Iceland, it offers a  great picturesque panorama and landscape.

Thorsmork is only about 160 km east of Reykjavik but the last 30 km is one of greatest strips of mountain track you encounter – with unbrigded rivers and streams to cross in our strong and reliable Super Jeeps. It´s a great 4x4 track and a lot of fun. We´ll take a photo stop by a glacier outletwhere you can get real close to the falling glacier, just below the crater of Eyjafjallajokull volcano. In Thorsmork we stop for a couple of hours to enjoy the fantastic landscape, have lunch or take a short hike. On the way back you have the opportunity to take a short hikes through small but magnificient canyons with a hidden waterfall at the end. We will also stop at the clear freefalling waterfall of Seljalandsfoss where we go a short walk behind the waterfall and feel the refreshing spray. Once in Reykjavik we will drop you off at your hotel or a restaurant of your choice.

Join us on an adventure to one of the pearls of Icelandic nature in a magnificient day tour – and do it in style and comfort of our Super Jeeps.
