Private Þjórsárdalur Super Jeep Tour
Hidden Valley of Waterfalls, Vikings & Volcanoes
Discover one of Iceland’s most fascinating and underrated regions on this exclusive private Super Jeep adventure into Þjórsárdalur Valley. Located between glaciers, volcanoes, and lava fields, this dramatic valley tells the story of Iceland’s powerful natural forces and early Viking settlement.
This fully private tour allows you to explore the area at your own pace with your personal guide, traveling deep into landscapes that most visitors never experience.
What Makes Þjórsárdalur Special
Þjórsárdalur sits between three volcano systems – Hekla, Tindfjallajökull, and the Hofsjökull glacier, making it one of the most geologically active regions in Iceland. Over centuries, eruptions shaped the valley with lava fields, fertile land, and powerful rivers.
Today it is a place where history, nature, and Icelandic sagas come together.
Highlights of the Tour
Hjálparfoss Waterfall
One of Iceland’s most unique waterfalls, where two streams cascade symmetrically into a serene pool surrounded by basalt formations.
Háifoss – Iceland’s Third-Highest Waterfall
Standing at 122 meters, Háifoss drops dramatically into a vast canyon carved by glacial rivers. Nearby, you’ll also see Granni waterfall, creating one of the most spectacular waterfall scenes in Iceland.
Gjáin Valley
A magical hidden oasis filled with moss-covered lava formations, small waterfalls, crystal-clear streams, and volcanic caves. Many Icelanders consider Gjáin one of the most beautiful hidden places in the country.
Þjóðveldisbærinn Stöng – Viking Age Farm Reconstruction
Visit a beautifully reconstructed Viking longhouse based on archaeological findings from the original farm buried by the eruption of Hekla in the year 1104. This site provides a fascinating glimpse into Iceland’s early settlement history.
