Private Thorsmörk Glacier Valley 4x4 Super Truck Ramble
Nestled between ice caps on mountain ridges and some of Iceland's most formidable volcanoes, the road into Þórsmörk nature reserve runs alongside Eyjafjallajökull. After turning off the Ring Road, it passes beautiful waterfalls, usually including a visit to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The great Krossá river meanders through this area with hillsides adorned with natural birch trees and lava rock sculpted by glacial water.
After a day of hiking or super-truck-cruising through the Lord-of-the-Rings-like Þórsmörk, you can relax and await the appearance of the Northern Lights in the sky above the glaciers. Alternatively, depending on the time of year, you can bask in the magnificence of this microcosmos illuminated by the midnight sun.
While the Golden Circle and the South Shore are undoubtedly great tours, this private tour provides a slightly different experience. It offers a taste of Iceland off the main road, allowing you to explore some of the last wilderness areas left in Europe.
