The valley between 3 glaciers! Named after the ancient god Thor. Season Jan - Sep 30. Departures on Fridays and Sundays. Additional departure on Tuesdays from May 1 through September 30.
We begin this tour by driving over the mountain Hellisheiði towards Selfoss. We visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall and walk into the rugged gorge of Stakkholtsgjá. Our main attraction is Þórsmörk (i.e. Thor’s Woodland), a nature reserve shielded on three sides by glaciers and mountains. There are a multitude of small gullies and valleys, clad with low birch-trees that create seemingly endless possibilities for the nature lover. The glacial melt-off forms rivers that have to be crossed on the way to Þórsmörk and some days the crossing is quite challenging or even impossible. An innocent tream can change in a matter of hours into a thunderous torrent. Our skilled drivers are very experienced in these driving conditions and will take you safely across the river. This trip is truly unforgettable for the nature lover at the heart and ideal as a hiking trip. During the hardest winter months, it might not be possible to access Þórsmörk. Then we will visit Vík village and the magnificent
Skógarfoss waterfall.
