About this tour

Tucked away between towering glaciers, ancient volcanic ridges, and crystal-clear glacial rivers lies one of Iceland’s most breathtaking secrets — Þórsmörk, the Valley of Thor. This legendary highland valley is a place of pure, unspoiled nature, and a day out here is nothing short of magical.

Board one of our custom 4×4 super jeeps and let us take you deep into the heart of this incredible landscape. Our powerful super jeeps are built for Iceland’s rugged terrain, crossing glacial rivers and conquering the wild highland tracks that lead to this hidden gem — getting you to places most travellers never reach.

Once there, lace up your boots and enjoy easy, rewarding hikes through Þórsmörk’s stunning valleys and ridgelines. Breathe in the fresh highland air, marvel at sweeping views of glaciers and volcanic peaks, and immerse yourself in the kind of raw, untouched nature that makes Iceland so extraordinary.

Whether you’re an experienced hiker or simply a lover of incredible landscapes, Þórsmörk offers a perfect day out for everyone. With your knowledgeable local guide by your side, you’ll discover the stories, geology, and wildlife that bring this remarkable valley to life.

This is Iceland at its most dramatic — and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Thorsmork day tour
I went with two of my friends and we hand the best of time exploring with our guide. He knew so much about the place and it gave it a little extra to get to know more about the place. We got fantastic weather! That always helps and explored away. A great day trip with friends.
