What you can expect

This 5-hour glacier hike is designed for adventurous and physically active travellers who want to go beyond the typical glacier walk. Unlike shorter tours that stay closer to the glacier’s edge, this extended experience takes you deeper into the ice, allowing you to explore more remote and dramatic features of the glacier, such as deep crevasses, ice ridges, moulins, and possibly even ice caves depending on the conditions.

Led by experienced glacier guides, you’ll be equipped with crampons, an ice axe, and a harness, and receive full safety instructions before setting out. The pace is steady but challenging, making it ideal for those with good fitness levels who are looking for a more immersive and rewarding glacier adventure.

This tour offers breathtaking views, fascinating insights into glacial formation and movement, and plenty of opportunities for incredible photos. It’s a truly unforgettable way to experience the raw beauty of Iceland’s icy wilderness—perfect for those wanting to venture further and get a deeper connection with the landscape.
