SUPER JEEP TOUR TO THORSMORK FROM REYKJAVÍK
Þórsmörk (Thorsmork) Nature Reserve, or the “Valley of Thor,” takes its name from Thor, the Norse god of thunder. It is celebrated as one of Iceland’s most breathtaking regions, offering striking views, secluded waterfalls, dramatic gorges and lush birch woodlands.
For locals, Þórsmörk is a cherished retreat—a place to hike, connect with nature, and experience the land’s unique energy nestled between three glaciers. This tour is perfect for adventurers looking to explore off the beaten path and see Þórsmörk through the eyes of those who call it home.
