About the Activity

Are you ready to go beyond? Only the most experienced guides in Iceland can run these tours. Prepare yourself to get on the edge, literally. You can learn how to abseil down, ice climb and traverse through fixed lines on exposed terrain. Our expert guides will teach you how to use the ropes and the technical gear. This tour can be extremely challenging or easy enough, we will adapt the difficulty according to your level. This remarkable experience will be something you will never forget. While the other tours keep you away from formations such as crevasses and moulins, here it is our aim to go and check them out. In order to achieve this we will use ropes to put you on the edge! 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.
