Falljökull glacier hike plus a glowing blue ice cave near Skaftafell. Small-group tour with gear, hot drinks, and 4 hours.
“Really cool experience! Our guide Stella was really sweet and did explain everything in a way you could understand.”
Hike Vatnajökull’s outlet glacier at Skaftafell with crampons and an English guide. Short time on ice, 3 hours of big views.
“Our guide Rick was fantastic and made sure we spent as much time as possible on the glacier. Going inside the crevasses was amazing and the hike overall was beautiful. Having done the ice cave tour from Jokulsarlon yesterday I feel that this tour gives you more for your money and was more enjoyable. The walk up to the glacier does require a moderate level of fitness, and if all members of the group are not able to keep up then you all have less time on the glacier”
Reykjavik day trip to Sólheimajökull glacier, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and Reynisfjara black sand beach, with safety gear included.
“Great tour, I like how the day was broken up, Skógafoss first, then the glacier hike. Then the black sand beach and Seljalandsfoss. Our tour guide Al was very informative and a friendly person. Would do this again! Good to not though now that the black sand beach is shifting and might be permanently changed.”
Guided Sólheimajökull hike with a certified glacier guide. Crampons, helmet, axe included. See crevasses, moulins, ice tunnels.
“Shorter walk than expected, but the guide (Tin, if I spelled correctly) was super and made the experience great.”
An advanced guided hike from Skaftafell onto Falljokull Glacier, crossing Vatnajökull with crampons, axes, and expert safety.
“We really liked this glacier tour and our guide Mark. Tour was very interesting and amazing. Mark was very chill and funny, he took us to that part of the glacier, where other guides usually don’t go, so we were there alone, no other groups, no “human traffic jams”. 10 out of 10, highly recommended!”
Hike to Reykjanes Peninsula eruption sites, then hit black-sand beaches, hot springs, a lighthouse, and the bridge between continents.
“Outstanding! This is an outstanding tour and I highly recommend to anyone interested in Volcanos and seeing Icelands beauty! Tour guide was outstanding - if we had done a self drive this would never have been so good thank you!”
Beginner-friendly 4-hour Falljökull glacier hike from Skaftafell, with certified guides, crampons, blue ice, and safe crevasse navigation.
“Great experience!!! We spent time with Thomas, a brilliant and passionate guy who conducted us to the glacier. The hike, despite being easy, was exciting and challenging. Do not expect to go on top, but even the chance to walk on the ice is a must-do experience in Iceland! The organization was great, with high attention to the health and safety measures, with detailed explanations given at the starting point. The guide, Thomas, was careful along all the walk, taking care of those of the group and being really inspiring with his love for the glacier. Definetly recommended!!!”
Guided hike from Reykjavik to the Geldingadalur eruption zone, with a stop at Seltún hot springs and views of fresh lava fields.
“Guide was very friendly, honest and reliable. Answering questions when he knew and advising what wasn't his expertise. He gave all information about old and new lava fields including the vegetation. Also provided useful information about were we could go for food! Very nice tips I must say. Best guide from my 4 tours. Also the site is amazing! But a good mood and ability on hiking might be required. The stones and ice were tricky in some parts.”
Walk on Vatnajökull glacier from Jökulsárlón lagoon on a guided hike with crampons, helmets, and the chance of blue ice.
“We had a great experience. We met at the office at glacier lagoon and we’re given some instructions and fitted for our equipment. We then took the short bus ride to the glacier hiking point. Our guide was wonderful. She was fun and extremely knowledgeable and made the experience even that much better. She actually had to administer some minor first aid a couple of times for some scrapes. The overall experience was wonderful. It was a very unique experience in an absolutely beautiful environment.”

Hike Sólheimajökull in a small group from Vik. Walk blue ice with crampons, see crevasses, hear glacier science, plus coffee.
“We absolutely loved this hike. My husband and I found it both scenic and educational. Learning about the Sólheimajökull glacier and experiencing it firsthand was incredible. The hike itself isn’t difficult and they provide crampons, ice axes, and other gear. Our guide, Sofia, was the BEST and we would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
