What you can expect

Leave the crowds behind and go deeper into the frozen wilderness of Vatnajökull National Park. This 5-hour “Glacier Explorer” adventure is designed for those who want more than a quick walk on the ice. Led by certified expert guides, you will trek to the stunning Falljökull outlet glacier, navigating through a labyrinth of deep blue crevasses, jagged ice ridges, and breathtaking ice formations. With more time on the ice than standard tours, you'll witness the dramatic “icefall” where the glacier spills down the mountain - a remarkable sight on Europe’s largest glacier.

Glacier Hiking is the must-do activity in Iceland, its perfect for those who really seek to explore and get to know the nature of our special country.

Join our professionally guided tour, enjoy magical panoramic views surrounded by mountains, explore the brilliant formations of ice and get to know the history and geology of Iceland.
