Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation or meet you at the Volcano Trails HQ. The day starts with a short introduction before we load up our Land Rover Defenders and head out onto the trails with you behind the wheel. You and your companions will be assigned to your cars. Every individual group gets their own private Land Rover Defender to drive.
Your 4x4 guide will lead the way in front and guide along the trails using a handheld VHF radio located in all of our cars. The Defenders are specially equipped for overland expeditions and will take you to all the best hidden and hard-to-reach places in Þórsmörk valley.
You tackle some challenging and fun 4x4 trails, river crossing, stunning views and beautiful hiking trails, all put together in a day-tour to Þórsmörk.
Þórsmörk valley was named after the Norse god Thor. It‘s situated in the south of Iceland, between the glaciers Tindafjallajokull, Myrdalsjokull and Eyjafjallajokull, the peak that notoriously erupted in 2010 and caused widespread disruption to air traffic in Europe. Þórsmörk is one of the most popular hiking areas in Iceland. Þórsmörk is famous for having a great variety of natural features. It has been protected since 1921, in the care of the Forestry Service. Weather in Þórsmörk is often warmer than nearby, since it is protected by the three glaciers surrounding it. In the protected valley there is green vegetation of moss, fern and birch wood.
In spite of being warmer, Þórsmörk is also wetter than the rest of the country. This, however, only brightens the vegetation, giving the area a lush, emerald hue.
