About this experience
The elegant Seljalandsfoss waterfall is unique in its kind, you can actually walk behind the plummeting stream without getting (too) wet, for a unique viewing angle. After a stop there we head to the legendary Thórsmörk valley, nestled in between three glaciers, with a stop at the Gígjökull glacier further up in the valley. From there you can hike up to the edge of the magnificent glacier Eyjafjallajökull that descends from the summit of a volcano in a jumble of crevasses.
We will cross the deep and roaring rivers that guard the wooded surroundings of Thórsmörk, and you will have time to hike around the area and admire some of the many viewpoints it offers. Thorsmörk is Iceland's most popular hiking area, as visitors are in awe of its natural beauty and captivated by its charm. Drive back to the capital after a thoroughly exhilarating Superjeep excursion.
Thórsmörk & Eyjafjallajökull tour highlights:
- Seljalandsfoss waterfall
- Thorsmörk Valley between 3 glaciers

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is closed F-roads or a highland storm — decided by the Road Administration and the driver. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Superjeep.is decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?
The nearest cheaper South Coast Waterfalls, Glacier & Black Sand Beach Tour from BusTravel Iceland is €117 — €271 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.
| Superjeep.is · €388 | BusTravel Iceland · €117 | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it runs | 8 hours | 10 hours |
| Getting there | Picks you up | You make your own way |
| Changing your mind | Free until 48 h before | Free until 24 h before |
The €271 buys you hotel pickup and free cancellation up to 48 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Not available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

Do you know how many waterfalls Iceland has? If not, you should definitely book your tour with Erik from Superjeep.is! He has all the answers and so much more. We had an incredible day visiting breath-taking waterfalls and seeing Iceland's second largest glacier. Our trip included a stop at Efstidalur for delicious ice cream and lunch, which was a delightful surprise! Erik is extremely knowledgeable and made the experience both fun and educational. We learned so much about the landscape and history of this stunning country. Highly recommend booking a tour with https://www.superjeep.is/ for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland!

We had the absolute best experience on our private Golden Circle tour in Iceland! From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and perfectly tailored for our family. Our guide, Tamas from Superjeep, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, engaged, and having a great time. The tour itself was stunning, with breathtaking sights and plenty of opportunities to explore without feeling rushed. Tamas added so much to the experience with his insights and personal touches, making it feel special and memorable. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we cannot recommend Superjeep enough. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

We took private 10 seat super jeep northern lights tour with Birgir. We travelled with 3 little ones and my elderly mother. Birgir went above and beyond assisting us with car seats, ensuring everyone could get in and out of the car safely, and making everyone as comfortable as possible with his hot chocolate, entertaining Icelandic stories and history, and parking the jeep to minimize the intense winds. He was patient and knowledgeable, and we got an amazing lights show. As someone who is not easily impressed, this tour gets 10/10 hands down! Thank you super jeep and Birgir!

Yesterday I went on one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced in Iceland, led by Erik with Superjeep. I enjoyed every second of driving through the snow in a 4x4 to visit the Katla ice cave. I live in Iceland, I’ve been on tours with various companies, and I can say that this company offers truly authentic and unique experiences in groups of just four people. The price is higher than tours for groups of 14–18 people, but the quality is infinitely superior, so it’s definitely worth the investment. Their guides are experts on the country. I thought I knew Iceland, but the lesson in Icelandic geography we had yesterday with Erik and all the stories he told us (not to mention his skilful driving in 30cm of snow) was top-notch.

Read before you book
- Þórsmörk day trip: super jeep or highland bus?A super jeep is the only way into Þórsmörk all year and the easy way in summer. The highland bus is a third of the price, but summer only and fixed to its timetable.
- Sightseeing flight in Iceland: plane or helicopter?A small plane costs about half as much per minute as a helicopter and covers more ground. Pay for the helicopter only when you want the landing.
