Itinerary and highlights
We drive into Þórsmörk, crossing glacial rivers and streams along the way. Stop at one of the hiking huts located in the valley and start our hike from there.
We will see a part of Eyjafjallajökull on the drive in to Þórsmörk. An outlet glacier named Gígjökull.
If the clouds allow, we will see more of the glacier and the other two glaciers surrounding Þórsmörk, during the hike.
We pass by this site on the way to our starting point of the hike, but we make a short stop there on the way back for some pictures and a short walk through the canyon.
Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland's most popular waterfall, we usually just drive past it on the way to Þórsmörk but if the group wants, we can take a short stop on the way back from our tour.
Remaining time is for the traveling time and weather in Iceland is unpredictable and we might change our schedule accordingly.
