“Dramatic and unforgettable landscapes - Amazing trip. Picked up on time, luxury mini bus and taken off to see the magical landscape of the South. Our guide Atley was fantastic and seemed to enjoy it as well. It’s a long drive to Vik to start but then everything is on the way back and day flew by. Lava show was fun, albeit wife having nightmares about Ketla going up. The curry fish soup was unbelievable! And then the landscape…so dramatic and unforgettable. Walk around the waterfall….you don’t get that wet! 😂Thank you.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-23

Thorsmork: A Thunderous Adventure

As the rain continues to fall, the Thorsmork Super Jeep experience offers a thrilling escape into the heart of Iceland’s rugged wilderness. Departing at 10:00 AM, this expedition takes you deep into Thorsmork, a mystical valley nestled between three glaciers. Named after Thor, the god of thunder, Thorsmork is a hiker’s paradise, with trails that cater to all levels of adventurers. But if hiking isn’t your style, fear not! The super jeep provides a plush, comfortable ride through the dramatic landscapes, allowing you to soak in the views without breaking a sweat. As you traverse the rugged terrain, your local guide will regale you with tales of Iceland’s volcanic past, painting a vivid picture of the land’s fiery origins.

“Without question a must do tour in Iceland, even better if you are lucky enough to get Biggi as your guide - This was without a doubt the best tour experience we had in Iceland. Biggi was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The other group cancelled so it wound up being a “private tour” with Biggi and by the end it felt like he was a family friend. He told us all about þorsmork and how it’s his favorite spot in Iceland and how his family travels out there each year. He showed us where he proposed to his wife and where they got married out there. The views were something I cannot put into words, truly stunning and unlike anything else. I will be not only recommending this tour to any friends/family who travel to Iceland but I will be insisting that it is a must do experience. Truly memorable and breathtaking. Thank you again to Biggi for being so amazing” - Reviewed on 2024-08-18
