The Story of Gravel Travel

Gravel Travel was founded in 2017 by Valþór (Valthor), a former airplane mechanic – so you can rest assured our vehicles are in expert hands! What started as a passion for showcasing the wild beauty of Iceland has grown into a trusted adventure tour company. Valþór’s father joined the business as CFO, overseeing all financial matters, and today, Valþór’s son Matthías has also come on board as a driver-guide. Together, they continue the family tradition of sharing Iceland's wonders with visitors from around the world.

Our Fleet

As Gravel Travel has grown, so has our fleet of vehicles. Valþór's passion for modified super jeeps allows us to offer unparalleled expeditions into Iceland's remote corners. Whether you're exploring glaciers, volcanoes, or hidden valleys, our specially-equipped vehicles are built for adventure, ensuring you can reach the most extraordinary places with comfort and safety.
