Includes all necessary safety gear.

The Skaftafell-Vatnajökull National Park is home to Europe’s largest glacier and the icy landscapes offer a dramatic backdrop for a hiking adventure. This guided glacier hike across Falljökull Glacier ensures a personalized experience, with a small group of up to 15 participants, and full instruction provided.

We don't offer easy glacier walking trips, we exclusively offer an adventurous exploration of an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull. Our guide to guest ratio is small, and this lets us deliver a more immersive experience amongst the ice. It's here that you'll hear facts and stories of the geological forces that produced this surreal part of the world. Even though it is not a requirement to have been on a glacier before, maybe this time you want to go further and 'do more'. Our glacier trips are rated as moderately difficulty and require a good level of fitness to be out all day on the move.
