Join us for a genuine glacier experience deep into the heart of Europe’s largest icecap—a six-hour glacier walk tour that has it all: A ride in a super jeep through the glacial terrain, a hike in an environment of unparalleled beauty, and an opportunity to observe or even try out some ice climbing.
We depart from Jökulsárlón every day at 10 am, driving approximately an hour off road, while we enjoy the scenery on the way. After that, we will provide you with the right equipment and guide you as we venture upon the amazing glacier.
Our guides are very professional, experienced and know the glacier inside out and will guide you to some of the most dramatic spots the glacier has to offer. The trip takes approximately 6 hours from the Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón) and back with multiple exciting stops on the way.
