Thorsmork buggy adventure
Buggy into the hidden valley of Thor, the god of Thunder, on this half day adventure tour
This gorgeous valley is named after the thunder god, Thor – Thorsmork. On this half-day Thorsmork Buggy adventure you will drive through one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, all the while testing your own 4×4 driving abilities and trying things you have never done before. You must ford several rivers on this tour, drive along rough dirt trails and maneuver the Buggy to the best of your abilities.
Thorsmork is surrounded by glaciers on three sides, with low birch woods and desert-like landscape creating an interesting contrast. Moss-grown cliffs and eroded glacial landscape will make you feel like you are in a fairytale land!
The area offers several easy nature hikes, so you don’t need to spend the whole time on the bumpy Buggy ride. Depending on the group, we will make some stops to stretch our legs, hike into gorges to hidden waterfalls, circle around Básar for an amazing view, or whatever else you feel like doing!
Our Buggies are special 2-seat all-terrain sports vehicles you strap into with a 4-point safety harness, surrounded by a roll cage. The automatic transmission makes life easier behind the wheel.
All you need is a spirit for adventure, a valid driving license for the driver – and to not be afraid of dirt…
Thorsmork buggy adventure
The hidden valley of Thor, the god of Thunder, is a true natural gem. Spend a full day exploring the valley, fording rivers, hiking through narrow gorges and drinking in the tranquility of Thorsmork.
Glaciers surround you from three sides. Absorb the energy from the glaciers and breathe in the fresh mountain air as you drive the rugged trail into the valley, making sure you are fully energized throughout your adrenaline filled day.
You have to ford several streams and rivers and throughout the day we stop a few times for short and easy nature hikes to take in the views. The hikes are optional, but we highly recommend them, as they will lead you to hidden gems you would otherwise miss out on. Waterfalls rushing through holes in the cliff walls and stunning views over the valley and surrounding glaciers – these are memories you will want to bring home with you.
