Join your professional guide for a private 4x4 excursion to Thórsmörk and enjoy a tailor-made experience with your loved ones!
The private 4x4 excursion from Reykjavik is an excellent option for visiting Iceland without worrying about organisation! Set off on a tailor-made excursion, to which your professional guide will add a personal touch to ensure a truly unique experience. Thanks to the private dimension of the tour, you'll also enjoy greater flexibility and privacy, as you and your loved ones will be the only participants. Depending on the size of your group, you'll set off by car or 4x4 bus from Reykjavik to explore Iceland's roads and the glacial valley of Thórsmörk (Þórsmörk)!
Thórsmörk, also known as "Thor's Forest", is a spectacular valley located between three glaciers in southern Iceland: Eyjafjallajökull, Tindfjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. This natural site is renowned for its magnificent landscapes of hills with surprising yellow and green mosses as well as birch forests.
During your 4x4 excursion to Thórsmörk, you'll cross glacier-fed rivers showing the aftermath of the powerful and rapid flooding caused by the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010. You will then make your way to the picturesque Stakkholtsgjá canyon, where you can go hiking. Þórsmörk is one of the country's most famous hiking regions, and standing atop its hills and mountains is a breathtaking experience!
After your stop at Þórsmörk, your private 4x4 excursion from Reykjavik continues with an exploration of 2 of the Ring Road's must-see waterfalls: Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi. Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, so you really shouldn't miss it! The waterfall is famous for its unique path that allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall. Not far from Seljalandsfoss, you'll find the hidden waterfall of Gljúfrabúi nestling between the cliffs.
