About this tour

Our company prides itself on providing unique and intimate experiences for our clients, and this tour is no exception. We limit our group size to a maximum of four people to ensure that you get the most out of your private adventure.

We believe that safety is paramount, and we provide top-class equipment to make sure that you feel comfortable and secure throughout your journey. Our qualified guide is not only an expert in glacier safety but also has extensive knowledge of the area and can provide you with fascinating insights into the glacier's history and geology.

You'll have the opportunity to hike to the plateau and climb a vertical wall, moulin or crevasse.

The Sólheimajökull glacier is a stunning destination, with its blue ice caves, crevasses, and otherworldly landscapes.

Our Glacier Adventure tour offers you the chance to experience the beauty of this glacier up close and personal.

What’s included

  • Helmets, Crampons, Harnesses and Ice Axes.
  • Climbing boots can be rented on location.

What to bring

  • For a Glacier Adventure tour, it would be a good idea to bring a small backpack to carry essentials such as a camera, extra layers of clothing, gloves, snacks and drinks. Additionally, sunscreen, sunglasses and a beanie when temperatures are cold can be useful. A rain jacket may also be useful, it’s really common to experience inclement weather out of nowhere. It's also recommended to bring a refillable water bottle. If the melting condition will be favourable you can refill your bottle with glacial water.
  • For the climbing activity it is mandatory to have solid boots with ankle support , in this way crampons will fit and your ankle is less exposed to injuries. Please contact us before buying anything that might fit this description, we are more than happy to assist you during the choice of your adventure equipment; most of the climbing boots are uncomfortable for regular mountain walking, so it's more reasonable to rent it on location than buy it only to be used that day.
  • Rental is available by the glacier!
