The most popular tour in the book! On this Iceland day tour you will be guided through the labyrinth of a glacier tongue extending down from the fourth biggest glacier in Iceland.

Only two hours from Reykjavík you find the Eyjafjallajökull massif, and just a little further east the Sólheimajökull glacier, a tongue extends down from its mother glacier, Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth largest. On this tour you will go on a safe and easy walk on crampons up onto the ice field where you will discover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses, and learn about the glacier and the effect of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 on the glacier and its surroundings.

Our experienced mountain guides will teach you how to use the basic ice equipment necessary for this tour. On the way back there’s a stop at the picturesque waterfalls of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss.

An Iceland glacier walk is a great way to experience nature and a tour on the Sólheimajökull glacier is an ideal way to spend the day!

Blue Ice Experience

Hello,
I was in your wild country some weeks ago. On 20 July we did the Blue Ice Experience from the base camp in Skaftafell, and it was marvelous. We had a great time, laughed so much (maybe a little too much) and had great guides to show us around.

Take a Walk on the Ice Side

We loved Iceland. Beautiful, peaceful and friendly country. We hope to make it back one day again and we have recommended Iceland to all our friends and family.
