Glacier Hikes

Don't leave Iceland without trying this!

Not many people can say that they have climbed a glacier- here's your chance to be one of them! Well, you won't technically climb a whole glacier, just sample it at suitable location, but nobody at home will ever know!

When your friends see the photos, you won't even have to brag, they'll all sense the immediate danger you were in, and the steady hands and calm feet you had at this heroic expedition. Or something like that.

Glaciers have a habit of melting, you should try hiking on one while they're still around!

In reality, this is not really a dangerous tour. It is, however, both challenging and really fun. You‘ll hike up on to the ice field where a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses awaits discovery.

At a suitable location we‘ll teach you the basics of ice climbing, and be sure that you‘ll have to use those steady hands of yours when climbing a vertical ice wall!

The glacier hike is suitable for everyone, the difficulty level can be somewhat arranged to suit the participant's ability. It would be a shame to leave Iceland without taking this chance to see our magnificent glaciers up close! 

Comments from our customers

"Just do it"

Can't believe I have been lava caving and glacier hiking. The guides were really informative, really friendly and we had a suberb day, we just learnt so much from chatting to them. Could never do that sitting on a big coach. I want to go back already!!!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I had a GREAT time on the ice experience. Thanks for planning!  Also I would like to say how good the two guides were!  Very professional, fun and informative.  Takk!

"It was a great day"

The guide gave us many explanations about the environment and we saw some amazing things. I think it's a very good opportunity for travellers fond of nature to discover iceland and experiment new activities like the glacier hiking.
