About this tour

Þórsmörk valley is an incredibly beautiful mountain ridge in the heart of South Iceland, located between three glaciers; Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull.

To reach this secluded valley our guide operates a fully equipped 4x4 Super Jeep to get us through the rough highland roads and across various gushing glacial rivers.

Beautiful rivers, verdant vegetation, stunning waterfalls, dramatic canyons – all of this awaits you, and more. You will spend your day traveling around this landscape which could have been taken directly out of a fairytale.

Hiking and exploring the Valley of Thor is an adventure you will never forget!

We also stop off at some beautiful sceneries along the way into/out of Þórsmörk, including Gígjökull, an Eyjafjallajökull outlet glacier from where a major glacial flood grandly cascaded during the 2010 eruption.

We will take few stops to hike , the hike is about 8 km. The path is uneven at times and the route takes you uphill and downhill.

Every tour is catered to each person ability and the guide will inform our guests with every stop that will be made.
