ABOUT THE TOUR

​

Our Glacier Walk Journey begins heading towards one of Vatnajökull's glacial outlets. Before we start and take our first steps on the glacier, our local glacier guides will conduct a safety briefing as well as equipping everyone with crampons, a harness, helmet and an ice axe, from here we take our first steps on the glacier. During the journey our guide will share local knowledge of the area, the glacier and surrounding landscapes as well as guiding you through beautiful glacial terrain, allowing for great views and photographic opportunities.

​​​

Our tours have a maximum capacity of 6 people, making us more flexible than other groups and allowing for a more personal experience. We are one of very few operators offering extra small groups, most other tours have 10-15 people per group.
