What to expect?
With the power of uniquely modified Arctic Trucks, we take the main road east through the mountains of Hellisheiði plateau and drive along the South Coast. We will pass small Icelandic farms to the foot of the world-famous Eyjafjallajökull glaciated volcano. The first stop is at the popular sight Seljalandsfoss waterfall where the brave ones can take a walk behind the glistening waterfall as it falls from the high cliffs.
From the waterfall, we take a rugged road and drive between three glaciers on the rutted tracks, crossing a few unbridged glacial rivers before we arrive at Þórsmörk Valley at the foot of Mýrdalsjökull glacier and Katla volcano. This is truly the landscape of Tolkien & Game of Thrones, but the main difference is that YOU are in it. The great news is that it is impossible to reach the valley on a regular vehicle. The guide will teach you how to cross the rivers on the super jeep and why we need to deflate the tires of the truck on the way.
In Þórsmörk valley we make stops at Gígjökull outlet glacier and Stakkholtsgjá canyon to explore its hidden waterfall. Optional hiking tours are available in the valley or more driving on the rough tracks, all depending on your wishes! This tour offers a magnificent adventure including waterfalls, rivers, rutted tracks, the famous Eyjafjallajokull glacier, and volcanoes. What more can you ask for in one day?
