What you can expect

Live to the extreme with this exhilarating hiking tour up one of Southern Iceland's most majestic features, the mighty Sólheimajökull glacier. This tour is the perfect holiday opportunity for those travellers seeking to mesh incredible natural landscapes with the thrill of adventure.

At the car park of Sólheimajökull glacier, you will be introduced to your highly trained guide for the day who will proceed to lead you on a brisk 15 minutes walk to the glacier.

On the way you will get a chance to see a glacier lagoon, which was formed from the melting ice. It is also pretty common to see huge chunks of icebergs floating in the lagoon, if winds do not push them into the Atlantic Ocean.

Once we reach the glacier, we will stop to gear up (crampons, ixe axes, and helmets are provided). We will then start our hike onto one of Iceland’s most panoramic glaciers. We will be greeted by scenic crevasses, which are huge cracks on a glacier caused by movement of different blocks of ice.

If you prefer to be picked up in Reykjavík, you can book a sightseeing day tour that includes a glacier hike here: South Coast & Glacier Hiking on Solheimajokull from Reykjavik.

Great guided experience, good gear. Great time with easy hike on the glacier. Guide did a great job keeping the group together and as I was solo, helped take pictures for me as well. Pretty easy hike on mostly flat glacier.

The hike was nice and very scenic, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. 2 things were disappointing though, 1)having to pay to use the toilet, 300isk each. We thought this was unfair given the remote location of the start of the hike. 2) small groups sizes promoised however there were saveral small groips in a close proximety to each other on the glacier. We would have preferred a longer hike and less time waiting for others in our group and others from other groups moving on. It was a good experience though and well worth a visit
