We also stop off at some beautiful sceneries along the way into/out of Þórsmörk, including Gígjökull, an Eyjafjallajökull outlet glacier from where a major glacial flood grandly cascaded during the 2010 eruption.
We will take few stops to hike, the hike is about 8 km. The path is uneven at times and the route takes you uphill and downhill.

What an increcibly positive experience! We had the Thórsmörk day hike, a combination of super-jeep tour and a few hikes. Our guide (Siggi) was superb: Highly competent geologist, who profoundly answered all our (many!) questions regarding volcanos, glaciers, rivers, icelandic history. Plus, he had great fun in driving his adventure-jeep through rivers.
We did three hikes in total, one lonely waterfall with some quite technical passages, the beautiful Thorsmörk mountain peak and finally an impressive canyon - each of these wouldn't have been possible for us without a guide, each of these were wonderful and unique experiences.
The tour (and especially Siggi!) is a five-star recommendation - and we will definitely book it!!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that your Thórsmörk day hike was such a positive adventure and that Siggi made it even more special with his knowledge and expertise. It's great to know that he was able to answer all your questions about Iceland’s fascinating geology and history while also making the Super Jeep ride through rivers fun and exciting!
It sounds like the hikes to the waterfall, mountain peak, and canyon were all highlights, and we're so happy that Siggi’s guidance allowed you to experience them fully. Your five-star recommendation means a lot to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

Epic Day in Thorsmork with Guðný!
Just back from a mind-blowing glacier hike and super jeep tour in Thorsmork, Iceland, and I’ve gotta say, it was epic! Guðný, our guide, was the star of the show - super kind, loads of fun, and knew everything about the area. She took us to spots we’d never find alone and pointed out cool wildlife like exotic birds and arctic foxes.
The best part? It’s a private tour. We did things at our own speed, no random people photobombing our shots, just us in this crazy-beautiful landscape with caves, hikes, and icy glaciers. And Guðný, she’s awesome – even slid down the glaciers with us!
Yeah, the price is a bit steep compared to other tours, but honestly? Totally worth it. You’re paying for a one-of-a-kind experience – no crowds, tailor-made adventure, and you need a beast of a jeep to handle Porsmork’s wild terrain. Guðný was a pro at that, too.
So, if you’re up for an unforgettable day in Iceland with a cool guide, and don’t mind splurging a bit, this is your thing. Big thumbs up from me!

Memorable hike and a highlight of our trip
We had a terrific private day of hiking in Thorsmork with G in late September. While not inexpensive, and despite it raining almost all day, it was well worth it and was the memorable day we were hoping for with lots of great, distinctly Icelandic scenery that we never could have gotten to on our own. G was a fun companion for the day (What should you do if you get lost in a forest in Iceland? A: Stand up), and took us by the Seljalandsfoss waterfall for a bonus stop at the end of the day.
Operator response

Brilliant Super Jeep Tour
Brilliant tour from Hotel Ranga out to the black sandy beaches with views of . Then up the glacier valley to see the stunning glacier above Gigjokull. Lunch at the volcano huts (check them out!). Then to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Perfect timings, no rush, Magnus was incredibly knowledgeable and fun guide! Best day in Iceland for me.

Fabulous Day!
Despite drizzle and overcast, this was one of our favorite days in Iceland. We were lucky to have Ársæll Hauksson (Sæli) one of the owners as our guide, and he is a master of the 'saga' or story. Every rock in Iceland has a name and Sæli knew them all. The two hikes were wonderful, lunch was delicious and we learned a lot about Iceland's history, geography and people. If you want to go to Thorsmork (and you should), this is the group to go with.
