Ice Walkers Tours

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike

A glacier walk is one of the best things Iceland has to offer.

An active leisure that does not require participants to be athletes while providing the opportunity to experience unique Icelandic nature and the sense of adventure.

Your adventure

Our hike on the Sólheimajökull outlet glacier is more than an opportunity to take in breathtaking landscapes. Ice Walkers guides will share their insight into some of the most interesting aspects of local nature and culture, allowing you to better understand and appreciate the uniqueness of this island.

Imagine

 

When was the last time you walked on the glacier?

When have you listened to the sound of the rivers flowing beneath your feet?

When have you admired glacial crevices and mills, or touched the volcanic dust?
