Two day Super Jeep expedition into a glacier valley & glacier hiking
We will start the day by walking & crawling through a lava cave. Next we cruise east from the city and stop for lunch at Seljalandsfoss, the 60 meter high waterfall that you can walk behind. From there we head north and up to the legendary valley of the Thundergod, Þórsmörk! The trail is one of Iceland most famous off road tracks and we will drive over several rivers, and even cross a glacier lagoon at the Gígjökull outlet glacier. Just 15 minutes from our chalet we will stop at the Stakkholtsgjá Canyon and go for an unforgettable hike into the narrow, spectacular river bed. We will then relax and enjoy an Icelandic lamb BBQ dinner in the quiet, highland setting of Þórsmörk valley. Our night is spent in a cozy sleeping bag accommodation in a Chalet.
Our second day of adventures starts with a drive to Skógar Waterfall followed by an adventurous off road trip on a black sand beach. From the beaches we will drive up to Sólheimajökull glacier. There we will go for a glacier walk and get an introduction to ice climbing on the blue ice. On our way home to Reykjavík we will stop at Eyrarbakki where we will dine on exquisite North Atlantic lobster at a sea side restaurant.
