Pass by without stopping
Seljalandsfoss
The trail that circles Seljalandsfoss is its most distinctive feature. In the summer, visitors can completely circle the large cavern in the cliffs behind the falls using the rocks and walkways. Visitors should be prepared to get wet due to the continual mist of the falls, which also tends to make the rocks of the pathway slippery, even though it is a mesmerizing opportunity.
30 minutes here
Stakkholtsgjá is two kilometers long and around 100 meters deep. The canyon is traversed by a number of tiny streams, and despite being very large at its entry, it becomes increasingly narrow as it continues. Although some trips to the area stop at the gorge, which is located in the Thorsmörk Nature Reserve in South Iceland, it is nevertheless regarded as a hidden gem.

Volcano Eyjafjallajokull
The Eyjafjallajökull glacier is the sixth largest in the nation, covering over 100 square kilometers (39 square miles). It is located next to Mrdalsjökull, the fourth-largest glacier in the world, which hides Katla, another infamous volcano. The most well-known outlet-glacier from Eyjafjallajökull is Gigjökull. Its meltwater feeds numerous rivers, one of which empties into the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall on the South Coast, which may be completely encircled.

Epic day of self driving.
Spectacular day spent driving around Thorsmork and the black sand beach. Our guide Skooli, picked the three of us up at our hotel near Hella and drove us to grab snacks for the day, and then to the gravel road toward Thorsmork. I had paid for some self-drive time but was delighted when Skooli handed over the keys to the heavily modified Land Cruiser and pointed in the direction of the valley. Narrow gravel and several river crossings led to our first stop at a glacier tongue. Multiple more river crossings expertly guided by Skooli and we ate lunch, hiked a few epic canyons and waterfalls before turning around and heading to the beach. The trip would have been to the glacier originally, but weather was foggy and warm so glacier driving was not in the cards. The beach was an endless black sand desert that we cruised across. Some dunes and technically challenging terrain navigation was required to find our way back to tarmac. All in all the best day. We plan on returning to Iceland and will definitely book another day with Arctic Trucks.

Brilliant driving experience
We did the half day Arctic Truck Driving experience with a guide and it was amazing - drove off road, through rivers and up a mountain in the snow! Once in a lifetime experience and the guide was amazing.

The best driving experience I've ever done!
This is still one of the best experiences we've ever had! Iceland itself is a beautiful and unique place, add to that the experience with Arctic Trucks made it unforgettable. Ingo, our tour guide, was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and his knowledge of Iceland and each area we went to was spot on, and he answered every question we had about Iceland, the culture, the area, the Truck, everything! The Arctic Trucks converted Toyota Land Cruiser was awesome and tackled everything we through at it. While I was driving I managed to get us stuck when we bottomed out and a rescue mission was orchestrated by Ingo to get as going again, which just made for a better story when we got home! We will be back...

Shop staff!!
This review is to complain about the shop Arctic Trucks not the experience. Very slow service, one of the staff on the floor is more interested in speaking to his friends on his phone rather than help customers. When approached by a customer he wasn't happy to help. Terrible service!!

An experience to remember
This is my fourth trip with arctic trucks and they keep on surprising us with their professionalism and friendly attitude. We experienced sites that not accessible to the average tourists. If you want to see the real Iceland than arctic trucks experience should be your choice.
Response from the operator: Dear Boardin, WOW! Thank you very much for your review! They really don't get any better than this. Thank you too for your returning visits. We are discussing what to surprise you and your amazing team with next year. Looking forward to seeing you again. All the best from Iceland, The Arctic Trucks Experience Team

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $1,827 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience?
+
Included: Expert Super Jeep Driverguide; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Super Jeep with a 38" modification or bigger. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 66 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Reykjavik. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Eyjafjallajokull and Thorsmork Experience?
+
Across 39 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
