Plunge into Þórsmörk — Thor's hidden valley — by powerful Super Jeep, fording glacial rivers and threading between two volcanoes and three glaciers to reach a birch-forested highland paradise virtually no cruise passenger ever sees.
What to expect
Your Super Jeep departs Vík and immediately enters a landscape of raw Highland Iceland — black lava plains, glacial outwash rivers, and the looming flanks of Eyjafjallajökull. Multiple thrilling river crossings precede your arrival in Þórsmörk, where lush, sheltered birch forest feels impossibly green against the surrounding ice. Hiking trails lead to ridgeline viewpoints commanding three glaciers simultaneously. The sense of having earned access to a secret world is profound. Return journey is equally dramatic.
Good to know
Full-day tour: approx. 7–8 hours. Confirm all-aboard time carefully and discuss with the operator — departure from Vík at 8am recommended. Waterproof layers essential. Book a private Super Jeep directly with Mountaineers of Iceland for maximum flexibility.
