Þórsmörk Hike Day Tour

This is the active option: the Super Jeep provides access to Þórsmörk, then the day centres on a guided 6–12 km hike. A sightseeing-focused Super Jeep tour normally includes more roadside stops and much less walking.

Expect three to four hours on uneven wilderness trails, rocky ground and ridges, with approximately 350–800 metres of elevation gain depending on the route. A reasonable fitness level, sturdy hiking boots and comfort on varied terrain are important.

The guide chooses the day’s route according to weather, trail conditions and the group. Tindfjallahringur, Hvannárgil and Hestagötur are examples, each offering its own mix of birch woodland, canyons and ridge views.

The drive is part of the adventure. Þórsmörk sits beyond rough tracks and unbridged glacier rivers, so the journey includes dramatic South Coast scenery, river crossings and the final approach into the valley.

Meet at Midgard Base Camp, Dufþaksbraut 14, 860 Hvolsvöllur. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the departure time shown in your booking; your voucher confirms the final details.

Lunch is not included, but a lunchbox from Midgard Restaurant can be added during the booking process. Bring water, snacks and anything else you need for an active day outdoors.

The hiking tour runs from May to October. Conditions in the highlands can change quickly, so the route and timing always follow the guide’s assessment on the day.
