Glacier Hike on Solheimajokull

The tour starts with an introduction to the equipment and safety rules needed to explore the glacier, then we take a short walk across the pitch black volcanic ash and sands towards the frozen glacier tongue that is Sólheimajökull outlet glacier. As you walk along the valley which the glacier filled only a few years ago, your certified glacier guide will show you how the glacier is retreating at an alarming rate, almost before you very eyes. At the glacier edge we lace up our crampons and following the guide you will explore this otherworldly natural wonder, a rugged, raw and ever changing hub of ancient frozen water.

Équitation

Your guide will greet you and introduce you to the friendliest horses you´ll ever meet and give you any relevant safety information.
