5.0
(2 reviews)
Vik, Iceland

4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Sólheimajökull is a raw and rugged outlet glacier in an ever changing environment.

Glacial landscape is amazing and dynamic, including crevice, holes and small black volcanic sand hills. Sometimes we are able to look into the small holes or caves.

The 3 hour Glacier walk is a great glacier adventure where you can try for yourself how it feels to walk on glacier ice. We walk on Sólheimajökull glacier (a part of the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap) on the south coast of Iceland where we have our glacier walk base. Nearby Skógar and Vík.

**We always try to fit our trips to our guests needs and wishes**

What to expect

Sólheimajökull is a raw and rugged outlet glacier in an ever-changing environment.

On this Private Glacier Hike on the Sólheimajökull tour, you’ll be surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges, the glacier slowly but steadily crawls backward, giving our experienced glacier guide a new challenge every day! His aim is to get you away from the crowd, finding nooks and crannies to explore on your own; walking between deep crevasses, amazing ice formations, jagged ridges, and spine-tingling sinkholes!

Our journey starts with a moderate walk to Sólheimajökull Glacier. As the glacier comes into view, you’ll get your first glimpse of the vast ice field stretching ahead. It’s an incredible sight—and before long, you’ll be walking on the glacier itself.

The guide then gives a short but very important demonstration of how to properly use the glacier equipment. When we’re ready, we head up the icy but easily accessible slopes onto our adventure, taking in the amazing surroundings on our way.

Our Private Glacier Walk is ideal for those who love hiking, from those with a bit of experience to expert hikers.
