Þórsmörk is a place of diverse and magnificent landscape with its ice capped peaks, jagged mountain ridges and valleys rich with moss and birch woodland. Þórsmörk is a paradise for hikers, photographers and nature lovers. The route to Þórsmörk has many unbridged rivercrossings with deep fast flowing waters, famous for trapping tourists in un-modified rental cars. Therefore we take you to Þórsmörk in one of our super jeeps, a modified vehicle with huge tyres that can forge rivers and tackle just about any terrain. Riding in a Super jeep is an adventure on its own. Beautiful Surroundings of Thorsmork is a Super Jeep tour with an optional easy/moderate 90 minute hike. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 08:00: one departure a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €1056 per person - Duration: 11h–12h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 51 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Glaciers and Waterfalls - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English - Start times: 08:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-22 ## Reviews 5.0 from 51 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 51 of 51. - 5 stars: 51 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Wifi on board ## Not included - Dinner ## Itinerary 1. **Seljalandsfoss** (30m) - is one of the most visited waterfalls in Iceland.
