Things to know
About the Activity
Are you ready for an adventure like no other? Join us for an exhilarating private glacier ice climb on the southern coast of Iceland. Our expert guides will lead you on a three-hour walking tour of the Sólheimajökull glacier outlet. On this tour, you will see incredible glacier formations such as crevasses and moulins. These formations can be awe-inspiring and formidable, but our expert guides will ensure your safety and enjoyment. We have great respect for our environment and the history of Iceland. Did you know that the glacier ice that runs down from the peak of the volcano Katla is hundreds of years old and the area around the glacier was first settled in the ninth century? Our guides love sharing their knowledge and stories, so we invite you to join us to make the most of your Iceland trip.5 hours

Travel Itinerary
- Exclusive to travelers from this booking.
Conquer the glacier on our four to five-hour-long hike and ice climbing on Sólheimajökull Glacier.
This is a private tour so your group/family will have your own certified glacier guide for the whole trip. Our expert guides will help you gear up and brief you on safety elements. Once your group is ready we will head into the glacial valley for about 20 minutes until we find the edge of the glacier. Since this is a private tour the pace of the hike through the glacier is matched to everybody's abilities and fitness. The alien-like surface of Sólheimajökull can be challenging but with our guides, this adventure will be fun and hopefully something you will never forget.
We provide all the safety gear necessary: crampons, harnesses, helmets, and ice axes.
We encourage our guests to bring worn-in hiking boots, gloves, and insulating and waterproof layers. The weather is usually not working in our favor in Iceland, wind and precipitation can be expected most days.
