Thorsmork Super Jeep

Phenomenal and unforgettable. A must do. Sven was awesome. Wise, informative, and funny. The highlands are breathtaking.

Wow wow wow! Highlight of our trip to Iceland. With scenic stops every 20 minutes. All the men on our bus did the hike and the ladies went berry picking and walked along the river. It was a fantastic day. Highly recommend Midgard who met every need and Lilly our guide was just lovely and perfectly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this operator and tour. A +++++++++++++

The valley of Þórsmörk is a world hidden behind glacial rivers, where the earth feels raw, ancient, and entirely alive. Leaving the ring road behind, the journey begins the moment the tires of the super jeep hit the first rushing river. There is a tense thrill in crossing these rivers, watching the milky, silt-heavy water rise against the jeep, knowing that this river shifts its treacherous bed every single day. Once inside the valley, the harsh Icelandic winds suddenly drop, replaced by an unexpected oasis. Sheltered by three towering glaciers—Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and Tindfjallajökull—Þórsmörk holds its own microclimate. Here, low-slung downy birch forests carpet the valley floor, their emerald leaves contrasting sharply with the pitch-black volcanic soil. Hiking up for a higher perch, the perspective shifts entirely. Every step reveals the scars of the land: jagged moss-covered gorges, sharp ridges carved by ancient eruptions, and the massive, sprawling network of braided rivers winding through the black desert below. Up here, the air is so clean and I breathe more deeply, as if it’s the best air my lungs have experienced. The silence is immense, broken only by the distant, low rumble of melting ice and the crunch of volcanic gravel beneath your boots. As the afternoon light deepens, casting long, dramatic shadows across the peaks, a profound sense of isolation takes over. It is a place that makes you feel entirely insignificant, yet deeply connected to the pulse of the planet. To post this was my favorite day of the entire visit would be an understatement. Our small group of 12 was guided by @sveinn_valtyr , who shared the science behind the volcanoes and glaciers, some Sagas, Icelandic history while he sprinkled it with a little of his humor too. @midgardadventure is the tour operator, they are a family-run, Icelandic-owned business, utilizing local Icelandic guides. Their “jeeps” are comfortable and sturdy, a necessity for that terrain. I cannot recommend this company enough! Absolutely perfect day for me. Thank you Sveinn and Midgard for such a great experience! ❤️

The jeep tour was very interesting. We rode through many rivers in the back country, and our driver Liliya was friendly and competent. The lunch was tasty, and the view from the lunch spot was gorgeous.

We had a great time on our super jeep tour! Beautiful scenery and fun hikes. Carlos was very informative. Would definitely recommend this tour.

We had a great trip only the from and to the center was long

Thorsmork is a wonderful place, and our guide Carlos was fantastic! He was interesting and fun, took us on great hikes (pretty easy ones) to beautiful places, while being very helpful and careful to make the hikes safe and doable. He shared his views on Iceland and told us about himself, making the drives fun.

Unique experience in a spectacular setting. I am so glad we went on this trip. The vehicle and driver took us to places we could not otherwise reach. Driver provided a lot of information about this location and others in Iceland. Perfect thing to do! Entire staff was helpful. The vehicles were in excellent shape. The office/departure lounge was comfortable and welcoming.

No way we would have been able to get to this park & the places we went due to all the river crossings. Midmark did the driving and the our guide was amazing! We stopped several times throughout the day, so it wasn't all sitting, thank goodness. This adventure was a highlight of our trip, and I'm really, really glad we were able to get back into Thorsmork due to the tour. Would totally book with this company again!

Amazing experience, very well organised and nice/knowledgeable guide. Super happy with the overall experience.
