Jökulsárlón: Super-Jeep & Hiking the Largest Glacier In Iceland

Our Favourites

On the Ice Exploration tour, you will spend approximately 2 hours (4-6 km) hiking on Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull. During the tour, your guide will share their knowledge of how the glaciers form, how they are in constant change and how these changes affect the surrounding area. You will see numerous different natural attractions, from beautiful mountains to ashy ice and, if you are lucky, some blue ice. On some days, we will prioritize walking further to cover a larger area of the glacier, while on other days, we will prioritize entering small moulins or crevasses. What we do on the tour depends on the conditions of the day as well as the group itself, but we promise to show you the best attractions available at each time and to make your day an unforgettable one.

The tour is rated medium in terms of difficulty because you are required to walk 4-6 km in various terrain and weather conditions. To participate in this tour, you must be in good general health and able to walk 4-6 km. The guide will introduce you to the safety equipment and ensure you are ready before the adventure begins. We recommend that you dress according to the weather on the day of departure; the glacier is usually no colder than the meeting point at the Glacier Lagoon. We operate in any weather (rain, wind, cold) as long it is safe. Please dress appropriately for the weather, and wear comfortable, warm, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes. We recommend wearing hiking boots that cover your ankles, in the summer, most sturdy shoes will do. The meeting time is the time you see on your ticket; either 08:30, 12:00, or 13:45 – the tour will depart approximately 30 min after that, when everyone is geared up and ready.
