Go further and deeper into the Vatnajökull Glacier in Skaftafell for an experience you will never forget!
Walking past the crowds with your skilled guide navigating a max. of 4 guests lets us give you the most intimate and quality glacier experience in Iceland.
A Vatnajökull glacier hike is one of the most exhilarating and fulfilling experiences possible in Iceland.
Not only is it an exciting adventure in the stunning wild landscapes of Iceland, but it also pushes you out of your comfort zone, helping you to achieve something truly remarkable.
On this adventure-packed day, you will hike beyond the crowds to explore the further reaches of an outlet glacier that’s part of the Vatnajökull ice cap.
At Ice Guardians, we pride ourselves on the lowest guest-to-guide ratio in the market at 4:1. This ensures our Iceland glacier walks deliver high-quality hikes filled with adventure, education, and adaptability. Smaller groups can navigate tight spaces and explore terrains inaccessible to larger groups. If this excites you, consider our Hidden Ice Cave & Glacier Hike Tour as well.
This hike offers the unique opportunity to discover temporary features on the glacier that few have ever seen. You’ll learn and use various crampon techniques to travel safely in technical terrain, with the possibility of minor ice climbing if the route requires it.
Experienced and knowledgeable guides will inform you about the surrounding nature and landscape formation, making the experience more meaningful and fostering a newfound appreciation for glaciers. Each full-day glacier hike in Iceland is a unique exploration, as routes often change with the glacier’s constant melting and evolution.
