Private Valley of the Thunder God Tour (Þórsmörk)

8 hours

Easy

From canyon waterfalls to glacier rivers, a private Super Jeep adventure into Þórsmörk like no other—complete with a BBQ lunch in the wild and a black sand beach shipwreck to end the day.

Step into a day of Icelandic legend, off the tourist radar and deep into the wild. This private Super Jeep tour to Þórsmörk—“The Valley of the Thunder God”—delivers a full day of epic sights, rugged adventure, and unforgettable moments.

The journey begins with a stop at the iconic Seljalandsfoss, followed by a hidden gem most travelers miss: the narrow, mossy canyon of Nauthúsagil, where a secret waterfall tumbles through a fairytale gorge. From here, the pavement ends and the adventure begins.

We take the rugged Gígjökull glacier valley route into Þórsmörk, crossing glacial rivers and volcanic terrain that only a fully modified Super Jeep can handle. You'll feel the thrill of river crossings and the calm of untouched nature as we head deeper into the valley.

In the heart of Þórsmörk, we stop at Básar, a peaceful mountain hut area surrounded by towering peaks and hidden trails. Here, your guide will fire up the grill and serve a private BBQ lunch in the wild—an experience few travelers get to enjoy.

The return trip adds one last twist: a drive onto the black sand beach of Landeyjahöfn, where a stranded wooden boat lies weathered and broken—like a relic from Iceland’s seafaring past.

This tour is all about the journey: wild, private, and deeply connected to the raw beauty of Iceland.
