Join us for an exciting hike on Southern Iceland's most majestic features, the mighty Sólheimajökull glacier. This tour is the perfect opportunity for those travellers seeking to combine natural landscape with adventure.

At the parking lot of Sólheimajökull glacier, you will be introduced to your highly trained guide for the day. Your guide will also provide you will of the necessary equipment that you will need on the glacier, and instruct on its proper handling. 

We proceed on a 30 minutes walk to the glacier before reaching the ice cap. It used to be 15, but due to the receding glacier, it is now a longer walk. 

When you reach the ice cap, your guide will brief you on safety procedures on the glacier, as well as teach you about its formation, the surrounding area and its 'parent glacier', Mýrdalsjökull (one of the biggest ice-caps in Europe.) 

As we hike, you will see many hundred years old ice, coloured deep blue due to the trapped oxygen bubbles. From the heights of the glacier, you will have fantastic views of your surroundings. You will feel on top of the world. On a clear day, it is even possible to see Eyjafjallajökull, the legendary glacier which brought European air traffic to a halt after its 2010 eruption. 

We spend about 90min hiking on the glacier. The other 90 min of our activity is for gearing up and hiking to/from the glacier. Please note this is only an estimate.
