About this experience
Join our Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour – 2 days and explore one of Iceland’s most spectacular valleys. This two-day adventure takes you deep into the Highlands, where glaciers, volcanoes, and lush green landscapes meet.
Located between three powerful glaciers — Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and Tindfjallajökull — Þórsmörk offers scenery unlike anywhere else in Iceland. Because of this unique location, the valley features dramatic mountain ridges, glacier rivers, and sheltered forests.
Travel takes place in a specially modified Super Jeep, built for Iceland’s rugged mountain roads. These powerful vehicles can safely cross glacial rivers and rough Highland tracks. As a result, remote parts of the valley become accessible.
Throughout the journey, your guide shares stories about the volcanic forces that shaped the landscape. In addition, several stops allow time to explore the scenery and enjoy short hikes.
Discover the Magic of Þórsmörk ValleyFew places in Iceland feel as wild and beautiful as Þórsmörk. Towering mountains surround the valley while glacial rivers wind through the terrain below.
Surprisingly, the valley itself is rich with vegetation. Moss, ferns, and birch forests grow between volcanic hills and rocky ridges. Because of this contrast, the scenery feels both dramatic and peaceful.
Numerous hiking trails begin directly in the area. Some paths lead to breathtaking viewpoints, while others guide visitors through forests, canyons, and hidden waterfalls.
For many Icelanders, Þórsmörk holds a special place in their hearts. Once you arrive, it quickly becomes clear why this valley is so beloved.
Overnight in the Heart of the HighlandsAn overnight stay makes this Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour – 2 days especially memorable. Instead of leaving in the afternoon, guests remain in the valley after most visitors have gone.
Accommodation is provided in a comfortable mountain hut surrounded by nature. After a day of exploration, travelers can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Later in the evening, everyone gathers for a traditional mountain BBQ dinner. Soft evening light often settles over the surrounding mountains, creating a magical Highland setting.
Because of the quiet surroundings, many visitors consider this moment one of the highlights of the tour.

Cancellation for this tour
Cancelling costs 20% of the price within 365 days of departure, rising to 50% within 42 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is closed roads — the Road Administration shuts the mountain roads before the operator has to decide anything. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Southcoast Adventure decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Not available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.

The super jeep tour in Thorsmörck delivered exactly what was promised and was worth every penny. Our guide, Jakob, was fantastic—super nice, easy to talk to, and he made the hours pass by so quickly. The lunch provided was also delicious. Thank you for a memorable day!

We did the 5hr buggy buggy tour today, by far the best day in Iceland so far. Alejandro was an absolute amazing guide, seen waterfalls, caves, and a glacier that we would have never seen otherwise. Alejandro also took us on an incredible hike to one of the falls. He’s knowledge of the area was superb. Highly recommended over all the other tours.

Absolute number 1 excursion we have ever done! Our Eyjafjallajökull Snowmobiling Tour with Southcoast Adventures was an absolute highlight of our trip to Iceland—and we travel a lot! We spent about 2 hours on the snowmobiles and covered a huge portion of the glacier. Riding all the way to the top to experience the intense wind and the breathtaking views was unforgettable. Our guides, Ale and Martin, were phenomenal. Ale was incredibly patient and helpful while teaching us how to operate the machines. Even when we managed to tip our snowmobile over, they handled it perfectly. Their attitudes throughout the entire tour were tremendous. This truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime outing. I cannot recommend this adventure and this team highly enough!

We’ve been coming to Iceland for years, and this was hands down the best experience/tour we’ve ever done here. Our snowmobiling tour with Magnús and Steinar was incredible from start to finish. They were fun, kind, knowledgeable, and clearly true experts at what they do. This was our first time snowmobiling, and they made us feel completely comfortable while still making the whole experience exciting and memorable. The location was awesome, the views were breathtaking, and we were lucky to have great weather. But what really made the tour special was Magnús and Steinar. We had so much actual time on the snowmobiles, learned a lot about Iceland, and genuinely enjoyed the conversations along the way. You can tell when guides love what they do and care about giving people a great experience. This was our first snowmobiling tour, but it definitely will not be our last. Huge thank you to Magnús and Steinar!!!

- Eyjafjallajökull tour: super jeep, snowmobile or hikeMost people should take the five-hour super jeep from Hvolsvöllur, from €360. Snowmobile if you want speed; hike to the 1,666 m summit only if you are fit.
- Landmannalaugar tours: season, F-roads, super-jeepsThe Highlands open for a few months a year behind F-roads your hire car can't legally use. How to get to Landmannalaugar, and what each way costs.

Super jeeps — questions people ask
What is a super jeep?
A four-wheel-drive truck or van rebuilt for Iceland: raised suspension, huge low-pressure tyres and a snorkel, so it can cross rivers, drive on snow and climb glacier tracks that stop a rental car. Groups are small, usually eight to sixteen people. Super jeeps are how you reach Landmannalaugar in the highlands, ice caves under Mýrdalsjökull and dark northern-lights spots off the main roads. They are pricier than a coach, and rougher.
Is a super jeep northern lights tour better than a bus?
Slightly, for two reasons. A super jeep can leave the tarmac and find darker, more sheltered spots, and with ten people rather than fifty you spend less time waiting at stops. Arctic Adventures' Northern Lights Explorer (/experience/209/) and Northern Lights by 4x4 (/experience/1088067/) are the standard options. The sky is the same either way; a jeep does not make clouds part. If budget matters, a small-group minibus gets you most of the benefit.
When can you take a super jeep to Landmannalaugar?
Late June to September, once the highland roads open. The Landmannalaugar Safari (/experience/341/) is a twelve-hour day from Reykjavík with river crossings, a short hike and a soak in the natural hot river. The rest of the year the road is closed to everything except specially licensed winter expeditions. The dates the F-roads open vary each year with the snow, so if you are booking for June, expect a possible reschedule.
Is a super jeep tour comfortable?
Comfortable enough on the tarmac, bumpy on the rough stuff. That is the point. Expect to be thrown about on lava tracks and river beds, and to sit in a bench seat for several hours. People prone to motion sickness should sit in front and take a tablet. The trade-off is access: you see places coaches cannot go, with a driver-guide who talks to you rather than over a microphone.
