Glacier Experience From Reykjavík

This adventure is an easy glacier hike on Solheimajkull glacier with a direct pickup in Reykjavik. It is also available the whole year with pick up from Reykjavik. Pickup begins at 8 am, so be ready at your selected pickup location. Please keep in mind that pickup can take up to thirty minutes. If you prefer to meet us at the glacier, check out our Glacier Experience. After pickup we will travel eastward out of the city to reach the glacier. Upon arrival, crampons and helmet will be provided and our experienced guides will go over safety instructions before we journey to the edge of the glacier over black volcanic ash. When we reach Mrdalsjkull's outlet glacier, Slheimajkull, we don our hiking gear on and set foot on the ice. As we make our way across the glacier, you will get to explore Slheimajkull's jagged and rough terrain and see just how unique the land is. Underneath the glacier tongue is a rapidly increasing lagoon that has almost doubled in size due to the melting of the glacier in the past year. We'll embark on a different path down the glacier again. The hiking portion of the tour is two hours long with about an hour spent exploring the glacier. We will get to stop at two of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, Skgafoss, and Seljalandsfoss, on our journey back to Reykjavik.
