Day 3

Þórsmörk Action in Eyjafjallajokull volcanic area

Pick up from your hotel 8.30am.

Exploring the Icelandic outdoors, discovering dramatic landscapes and wild, untouched nature in one the unique Icelandic monster-jeeps.

Your expert super-jeep driver guides will pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik and before the tour starts we will have a short briefing on the adventures that lie ahead.

We then load up our luggage and board the specially modified 4x4 off-road vehicle that is ready for us outside.

Our first stop is the lava caves in the Blue Mountains, just outside Reykjavík, there we will walk, crawl through the ancient lava field and learn about the way Iceland was formed and it continues to take shape before our very eyes.

We then power onwards down from the mountains to the south shore before we take a turn to the north in the legendary valley of the Thundergod, Thorsmork! The trail is one of Iceland most famous off road tracks and we will drive over several rivers, and even cross a glacier lagoon at the Gigjokull outlet glacier. We will have packed lunch outside at the Seljalandsfoss, the 60 meters high waterfall that you can walk behind and see from the inside – out! Just 15 minutes from our chalet we will stop at the Stakkholtsgja Canyon and go for an unforgettable hike into the narrow, spectacular river bed.

We will then relax and enjoy an Icelandic lamb BBQ dinner in the quite, highland setting of Thorsmork valley. Thorsmork is framed in by high mountains and three glaciers, the Myrdalsjokull, Eyjafjallajokull and Tindfjallajokull glaciers, all tower above the valley and guarded the valley. This is guaranteed one of the most impressive places you will ever visit. Our night is spent in a cosy sleeping bag accommodation in the Basar Chalets.


Day 4

Day will starts with a drive out from Thorsmörk and down to the highway, this first stop is Skogar Waterfall followed by an adventurous off road trip on the black sand beach endlessly pounded by the North Atlantic Oceand and formed by the Solheimajokull outlet glacier has formed over the millennia’s.

From the beaches we will drive up along the Jokulsa Glacier River to the before mentioned Solheimajokull glacier.  There we will strap on crampons (spikes for the soles of our shoes) and go for a glacier walk on the blue ice, your guide will tell you all about the Icelandic glaciers and the changes they suffer these days.

Your guide will also teach you the basic ice climbing skills and if you are brave enough you can try your luck with ice climbing up a glacier wall.

On the way to Reykjavik we will stop in the small town of Eyrarbakki and dine at one of the local seafood restaurants, a great way to sample the local cuisine and chat about Iceland in general.

We should be back in Reykjavik in the evening.

Enjoy Reykjavik at night
