Enjoy a more immersive glacier experience with a dedicated 2.5-hour glacier hike on Sólheimajökull, including time for gearing up and safety briefing — giving you meaningful time to explore the ice, not just step onto it.
In a small-group setting, your experienced glacier guide ensures a safe, personal, and engaging experience as you walk across a dramatic landscape of crevasses, ice ridges, and ever-changing formations. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how glaciers form and why they are rapidly retreating.
Carefully designed to balance adventure and sightseeing, this tour follows a natural flow — starting at Skógafoss waterfall, continuing to the glacier hike, and ending at Seljalandsfoss — so you can experience Iceland’s highlights without feeling rushed.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
• Please be at your designated pickup point at least 30 minutes prior to departure. Our pickup vehicles are well marked with the Reykjavik Excursions.
• Each driver has a few stops, so it can take up to 30 minutes to finish picking everyone up, so there is no need to worry if the bus is not there right away.
BSI Bus Terminal is our centrally located Bus Terminal. Please be there at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure.
What to expect
Your journey begins with a visit to the powerful Skógafoss waterfall, where thundering water plunges 60 meters down a dramatic cliff. Take in the views, feel the mist, and capture your first taste of Iceland’s wild beauty.
From there, continue to Sólheimajökull glacier, an outlet of the vast Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Equipped with crampons and guided by an experienced glacier expert, you’ll step onto the ice for a safe and accessible glacier hike. Explore a frozen world of deep crevasses, ice ridges, and ever-changing formations while learning about these incredible — and rapidly retreating — natural wonders.
After your glacier adventure, the tour continues to the picturesque Seljalandsfoss waterfall. If conditions allow, walk behind the cascading water for a unique perspective and fantastic photo opportunities.
This experience is perfect for those looking to combine adventure, natural beauty, and Iceland’s most famous sights — all in one memorable day.
