On this full-day adventure, our experienced hard-ice glacier guides will lead you through challenging glacier terrain. With a visit to an ice cave as well, this is the most comprehensive glacier tour in Iceland.
Expect to explore the depths of crevasses (cracks in the glacier) and walk amongst ice towers known as ‘seracs’. From the outset, we will teach you how to use glacier travel equipment before progressing quickly through to the most unreal ice formations hidden in crevasse fields and ice-falls.
Here, you’ll be learning easy-moderate ice-climbing up crevasse walls and maybe even have a chance to climb out of a meltwater hole aka ‘moulin’. Expect 1-2 climbs per person.
Having an experienced and qualified guide with a small group simply translates into being able to get more action-packed trip than any other in Iceland.
But this Vatnajökull National Park hiking and ice climbing tour isn’t all action. There are moments to have a break, enjoy taking photos, and marvel at the surrounding icescapes. And don’t forget having a nice hot drink on the glacier! Your guides will share fascinating information about the nature surrounding you and the overall landscape formation, making your day more meaningful and immersive. As with all our Vatnajökull National Park hiking and ice climbing experiences, we love seeing people develop a newfound love of glaciers.
Each of our trips is a unique exploration. This is because we change and adapt routes in line with glacier melt and evolution. We cover various potential locations between Skaftafell and Höfn.
