1. Sólheimajökull: Private Glacier Hike

Meet us directly on the Sólheimajökull parking lot (easy to find on Google Maps), for a Private Glacier Hike on Sólheimajökull.

Our guide will greet you at the agreed time. He will help you gear up and make sure you are correctly wearing each piece of equipment. When ready, you will walk all the way to the edge of the glacier of Sólheimajökull. Your guide will explain and show you how to put on the crampons.

Finally, you will begin your hike on the glacier, for about an hour. Doing this tour as a private tour allows your guide to take you away from the crowds and other groups on the glacier. You will feel as if you had the glacier to yourself.
