Overview

This is a must-try chance to walk on one of Iceland's remarkable glaciers and feel the ice crunch under your crampons! In a small group with one of our passionate, certified glacier guides, you’ll not only walk on the glacier itself, but also see how it’s changing up close – from deep crevasses and ice walls to moulins and a glacier lagoon filled with icebergs. We provide all the technical gear, keep the pace beginner-friendly, and pack the tour with information, scenery and photo stops, so you step off the ice with great memories and a real connection to Iceland’s glacier world.

This unforgetable glacier experience is a beginner-friendly glacier hike on Sólheimajökull, a stunning outlet of Mýrdalsjökull on Iceland’s South Coast. In a small group, you’ll meet your certified glacier guide at the parking lot, gear up with crampons, an ice axe, and helmet, and walk across a dramatic landscape to the glacier, passing a beautiful lagoon dotted with floating icebergs. Then you’ll step onto real glacier ice for about 1.5 hours of easy hiking, weaving between ice ridges, crevasses and shimmering blue formations. Along the way, your guide will share stories about climate, history, and the area, with plenty of time for photos and taking in the views. It’s a fun, safe and unforgettable way to experience Iceland’s ice world - perfect for couples, families and solo travelers, with no previous glacier experience required.
