Overview

While many tours in Iceland make pit stops at glaciers—the country is, after all, full of them—fewer take you over them and close enough to discover their interesting features. With this tour, take an easy glacier hike to see ice formations, crevasses, and water cauldrons that you’d miss just stopping for a look. Your climbing crampons are provided, and the guided hike is offered 2-3 times a day so it’s easier to fit into your schedule.
  • Hike on a glacier instead of just stopping by for a look
  • Explore Sólheimajökull with a guide, who takes you to easily find ice formations, crevasses, and cauldrons
  • All safety equipment and crampons are included
  • This tour is offered several times daily, and fits easily into your vacation schedule
