Towering ice ridges, dramatic crevasses, and sweeping glacier views make every step feel like you’ve entered another world. This tour safely blends the thrill of exploration with the raw beauty of nature.

Itinerary

  • Arctic Adventures (Skaftafell Base Camp)

    Meet your expert glacier guide at our Skaftafell base in Vatnajökull National Park, gear up with crampons, helmet and ice axe, and set off for an unforgettable adventure Fallsjökull, an outlet of the mighty Vatnajökull - Iceland's largest glacier. A short 4x4 ride takes you to the glacier’s edge, where you’ll get a full safety briefing before stepping onto the ice. Hike across a dazzling frozen landscape of crevasses, ice ridges and sweeping mountain views, then visit a naturally formed blue ice cave - the photogenic highlight of the tour. You’ll have time to explore inside and capture incredible photos of the ice walls. Expect about 1.5–2 hours on the glacier at an easy pace on uneven terrain, making this a fantastic experience for active travelers with no prior glacier experience.
