You will be given safety equipment to ensure that your safety is taken care of as you explore this wonderland.

What to expect?

  • This tour is available with pick up from Reykjavík or you can meet us on location at Sólheimajökull glacier car park.

  • This small group tour is a fabulous glacier hiking adventure – those who want to can even try ice climbing – there is nothing more sensational than ice climbing in Iceland! For beginners or those with glacier experience, this is the queen of glacier expeditions, giving you three magnificent hours on the ice!

  • All equipment is provided, ice axes, helmets, crampons and safety lines. Your certified glacier guide will show you how to use the equipment and give you a safety briefing before introducing you to the majestic ice wonderland, with its astonishing networks of crevasses, ridges, ice walls, and blue-hued ice. Your friendly and knowledgeable guide make sure you are always safe on the ice and share some fascinating and fun glacier facts with you. This is a frozen world, but did you know it is always moving?
