Þorsmörk Valley Jeep tour
Þórsmörk valley jeep tour is a 2 day Arctic Truck Experience adventure to Þórsmörk valley. Including a fun drive between three glaciers on rutted tracks and crossing few unbridged glacier rivers. This is the perfect place to see the Northern lights in the winter time!
A two day adventure to the Þórsmörk valley. A beautiful scenery on the way, for example where the glacial flood came down during the 2010 eruption in Eyjafjallajökull glacier.
We take the main road east through the mountains of Helliðsheiði plateau and drive along the south coast. The first stop is at the popular sight Seljalandsfoss waterfall where the brave ones can take a walk behind the waterfall as it falls from the very high cliffs.
From the waterfall, we will continue our way into Þórsmörk and drive between three glaciers, Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull. The route has rutted tracks and unbridged glacier rivers. It is impossible to reach the valley on a regular vehicle.
In Þórsmörk valley we make stops at Gígjökull outlet glacier and Stakkholtsgjá canyon to explore its hidden waterfall if the weather conditions allow us.
We end the day at one of the mountain huts in the valley for a BBQ dinner and a cozy overnight stay in the huts.
During the second day, we will start to make our way out of Þórsmörk, scenic stops will be made on the way. The challenge for the day is to drive towards Eyjafjallajökull glacier and try to get as close as possible to the top. How far we can go depends on the weather and conditions on the glacier.
After the glacier experience, we head back to Reykjavík and if time allows us we will do more exciting driving before we get to the city.
