Valley of Thor Experience

An extension of our most popular day trip! With you behind the wheel of the Arctic Truck we take the main road east through the mountains of Helliðsheiði plateau and drive along the south coast passing small Icelandic farms all the way to the foot of the world famous Eyjafjallajökull glacier. 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 take a gravel road and drive between two glaciers on the rutted tracks and crossing few unbridged glacier rivers before we arrive at Þórsmörk valley at the foot of Mýrdalsjökull glacier and Katla volcano. It is impossible to reach the wally on a regular vehicle, the guide teaches you how to cross the rivers and why we need to deflate the tires of the truck on the way.
In Þórsmörk valley we make stops at Gígjökull outlet glacier and Stakkholtsgjá canyon to explore it’s hidden waterfall.

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.

Our second day starts with a rough drive out from Þórsmörk valley and then we stop at some of the most popular sight of the south coast. The Skógarfoss waterfall, Reynisfjara black beach and Dyrhóley.

You should be back at your hotel in Reykjavík in the afternoon, just in time for dinner.

Optional glacier hike on Sólheimajökull glacier.

Pick up at 08:30 from your hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavík.
