This tour safely blends the thrill of exploration with the raw beauty of nature.

Itinerary

  • Arctic Adventures (Skaftafell Base Camp)

    Discover the magic of Iceland’s glaciers on this unforgettable ice cave and glacier hiking adventure in Vatnajökull National Park. Meet your certified glacier guide at our hut in Skaftafell, gear up with crampons, helmet, harness, and ice axe, then take a short 20-25 minute ride in our 4x4 bus, which brings us right to the edge of Falljökull, one of the most dramatic outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull. Step onto the ice and explore a stunning world of deep crevasses, ice formations, and breathtaking mountain scenery. Follow your guide across the glacier to a naturally formed blue ice cave, where shimmering walls and unique ice textures create incredible photo opportunities. Learn how glaciers shape Iceland’s landscape while enjoying spectacular views throughout the hike. With approximately 1.5-2 hours spent on the glacier, this tour is perfect for adventurous travellers seeking an authentic glacier experience. No previous glacier hiking experience is required, but a good level of mobility and comfort walking on uneven terrain is recommended.
