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 tongue extends down from its mother glacier, Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth largest. This is a safe and easy glacier walk on crampons up on to the ice field where a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses await your discovery. 

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

On this day tour we start from Reykjavik where Reykjavik Excursions pick you up at your hotel or guesthouse in the morning. We then head out of the city, east towards the Sólheimajökull Glacier. During the scenic drive the driver guide will describe all the most interesting things we see on the way. We will drive through a few towns, pleasant farmland and past waterfalls, glacial rivers, sands and cliffs. There will be one rest stop on the way where you can buy a lunch and have a coffee. The glacier walk is the main attraction of the tour, so we use the brightest part of the day to explore the beautiful formations on the glacier, crevasses, cauldrons and blue ice. Our experienced glacier guide will keep you safe on the glacier and explain all the wonders of the ice. After the 2.5-3 hours on the ice we head back to Reykjavik, but make two stops on the way to explore the famous waterfalls, Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss.
