Description

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Iceland’s south coast on a full-day adventure from Reykjavik that includes a guided glacier hike. This small-group experience lets you explore the dramatic Sólheimajökull glacier tongue, an icy wonderland shaped by nature’s forces.

Your journey begins with comfortable transport from Reykjavik, taking you through stunning landscapes before arriving at the glacier. Equipped with all necessary ice hiking gear, you’ll set off with a professional local guide who will share fascinating insights into the region’s geology and glacial features.

The highlight of your day is a 2 to 2.5-hour guided hike on the glacier itself. As you walk across the ice, you’ll encounter striking blue crevasses, sculpted ridges, and unique ice formations, learning about the effects of climate change on these majestic glaciers.

This tour is suitable for those with a moderate level of fitness and is conducted in English. Please remember to bring warm clothing, rain gear, and sturdy hiking boots. Food and drinks are not included, so it’s recommended to bring a picnic lunch and snacks to enjoy during the day.

Group sizes are kept small for a more personalized experience, and specialized infant seats are available upon request. Don’t miss your chance to witness Iceland’s awe-inspiring glacial landscapes—secure your spot now before spaces fill up!
