Description

Experience the thrill of glacier hiking and ice climbing on Iceland’s stunning Sólheimajökull glacier, departing from Reykjavik or meeting directly at the glacier. This adventure lets you walk atop ancient ice, surrounded by dramatic landscapes sculpted by centuries of natural forces.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive or meeting at the glacier parking lot, where a certified guide welcomes you. After gearing up with crampons, ice axes, helmets, and harnesses, you’ll step onto the glacier and discover its striking blue crevasses and jagged ridges.

The highlight of your day is a hands-on introduction to ice climbing. Challenge yourself as you ascend a natural ice wall, guided every step of the way to ensure a safe and exhilarating experience. All necessary glacier equipment is provided for your comfort and security.

This half-day tour lasts approximately 4.5 hours and is led in English. Please bring warm, waterproof clothing, gloves, and a packed lunch, as meals are not included. Hiking boots with ankle support are required, and rental options are available if needed.

Spaces fill quickly for this unforgettable glacier adventure in Iceland—secure your spot today and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
