Overview

Discover the raw beauty of Iceland’s icy wilderness on the Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike—a moderately challenging adventure across one of the country’s most stunning glaciers. This tour stands out for its rare opportunity to walk on a living glacier, led by experienced, certified guides who bring the frozen landscape to life through stories of geology, volcanic activity, and climate change.

Equipped with crampons, helmets, and ice axes (all provided), you'll safely explore dramatic ice formations, deep crevasses, and vivid blue ridges carved by nature over centuries. The hike is suitable for anyone in good health with a sense of adventure—no prior glacier experience needed.

With small group sizes for a more personal experience, this tour combines education, exploration, and breathtaking views in a way that few activities can match. It’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of Iceland’s ever-changing natural wonders.
