Itinerary

Lose yourself in the legendary landscapes of Iceland’s Thorsmork Valley on this 2-day Thórsmörk Exploration trip, designed for adventure seekers of all ages. Journey by jeep between the dramatic Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers, passing through valleys steeped in Norse mythology.

Take advantage of the region’s renowned hiking trails, including the famous Laugavegur trek’s scenic conclusion. Spend the night in a cozy tent or mountain hut, savoring a hearty Icelandic meal beneath the stars. Experience waterfalls, volcanoes, and breathtaking wilderness vistas—all while breathing in the crisp mountain air.

The USP? This tour offers an immersive, off-the-beaten-track escape into Iceland’s most iconic hiking destination, blending comfort, adventure, and local legend for an unforgettable overnight getaway.

day 1 - Drive to Þórsmörk

Departing Hvolsvöllur, we head into Þórsmörk, driving towards Eyjafjallajokull, the famous 2010 erupting volcano. Super jeep driving is through extreme conditions, reaching the famous outlet glacier of Gígjökull where the landscape changed so dramatically during the eruption.

Crossing unbridged, glacial outflow rivers, we reach Þórsmork, after a hugely exciting travel adventure.

Húsadalur is our overnight accommodation, either in a tent or in a mountain hut (upgrade). For dinner we will have delicious traditional lamb. We will spend the night sharing stories and enjoying the remoteness, beauty and tranquility of Þórsmörk.

Duration:8 hours
Accommodation: Camping
Meals:Lunch, Dinner

day 2 - Exploring the Þórsmörk valley

After a nice breakfast, we continue exploring the Þórsmörk valley. We drive around the area, taking a look and exploring some of the magical, water-cut canyons on the lower slopes of Eyjafjallajokull volcano.

Exiting Þórsmörk, Seljalandsfoss waterfall will be experienced (and walked behind if you dare!) before travelling out to the Atlantic coast and roaming across its extensive black sand beaches.

The itinerary is quite flexible, depending on conditions and group wishes.

You are then returned to your hotel (or on to Reykjavík).

An Ice Walk/Climb on Sólheimajökull or snowmobiling on Mýrdalsjökull can be added if this tour is done as private.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
