Thórsmörk – Valley of Thór | Private Tour | Photo Package Included — Icelandic Roamers

Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Icelandic Roamers's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

In places with many ‘not to be missed’ spots like Iceland, one may find it impossible to see it all. Sticking to the most popular tourist attractions is no shame at all. Let us take you on board our fearless vehicle for an exciting ride to the Thórsmörk mountains. We’ll show you the most beautiful waterfalls, glaciers and volcanoes. In short, the very best Iceland has to offer - especially for mythology lovers.

Let us pick you up at your accommodation and head together towards the breathtakingly beautiful Seljalandsfoss. Facing the majesty of the best-known waterfall in Iceland is really worth all the hype, and to walk behind the cascades of water makes it a unique and unforgettable experience. Then let's drive along Eyjafjallajökull, another superstar among Iceland’s natural wonders. With the view of one of the most famous volcanoes and its ice cap outside the windows, crossing many challenging rivers on the way, we'll take you to the Thórsmörk valley. Lying just behind the volcano, this scenic area still bears traces of the notorious 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, due to the serious impact on European air traffic.

Thórsmörk, or The Valley of Thor, was indeed named after the Norse God of Thunder. It's a real treasure not only for mythology enthusiasts, but also the admirers of nature's beauty. Lush green moss, ferns and Birch forests crowned with impressive mountain ranges over the horizon… To crown it all, there are Magni and Módi, volcanic craters named after the sons of the mighty god. Thórsmörk offers a breathtaking view over the entire valley from one of the hills, which we’re going to hike - Valahnúkur mountain. A good 1,5 hour long trekking will make both your legs and eyes very satisfied and hungry for more exciting moments.

As the day draws to a close, it’s time for the last spot on our Thórsmörk tour map. The otherworldly Stakkholtsgjá canyon, located on the South of the Icelandic Highlands, is a massive challenge - literally. Around 2 km long and surrounded with 100 meters high, moss-covered walls, the canyon offers a very rewarding hiking trail and one of the most dramatic landscapes in Icelands. There is also lovely waterfall hidden somewhere in a twisting gorge, waiting for us at the very end of the trail. Wonderfully tired and still intoxicated with the magical land of Thórsmörk, it's time for us to get back to Reykjavik... What a day. The attractions provided by The Land of Fire and Ice are not to be found elsewhere...

The memories of this amazing adventure will stay with you forever in the form of stunning photos taken by our professional guide-photographer. You get a package of 20 pictures: portraits, landscapes and group photos, included in the price of the trip. We bet this tour will only whet your appetite for more icelanding adventures.

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.

  1. 1Icelandic Roamers 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Questions on the day: [email protected] · +354 497 1373. How cancellations work in Iceland →

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

  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
  • 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.
