Why Ice Guardians?

We provide an alternative to the impersonal mass tourism experience.

More crowded larger groups receive a surface-level introduction to glacier hiking on Vatnajökull.

Ice Guardians offers a fully immersive, hands-on experience that ventures beyond the busiest parts of the glacier.

Our non-private hikes are aimed at people who are comfortable in the great outdoors, hiking, and adventuring in a day that can bring a range of safe weather conditions.

With a team of experts in local geology who share a genuine passion for Vatnajökull, Iceland, and the environment, we bring this breathtaking landscape to life.

And because we know the glacier inside out, we can lead you to secluded spots where there’s a chance no other people will be.

The views, formations, and photo opportunities in these parts of the glacier are simply phenomenal.

Our team’s background also includes technical rope rescue, first responder, and glacial water rescue training so you’re in safe hands with us.

Unsure what to expect on the day itself? Don’t worry. We will contact you in the days leading up to your tour to let you know the forecast conditions so you can come prepared.
