This family-friendly adventure is perfect for beginners, offering a gentle and enjoyable way to explore one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders. The scenery is unbelievable, with dazzling blue ice, deep crevasses, and ever-changing formations that create a surreal landscape. There’s no need for strenuous effort—just a steady, comfortable walk with plenty of time to take in the beauty around you.

Our expert guides ensure a safe and fascinating journey, sharing insights about the glacier’s history, Iceland’s volcanic landscapes, and the effects of climate change. This is more than just a hike; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in Iceland’s natural beauty without the intensity of a challenging trek.

The tour starts at Sólheimajökull Base Camp, easily accessible from the South Coast. After meeting your guide, you’ll gear up with crampons and an ice axe—no prior experience needed.

After a short hike to reach the ice, you'll step step onto the glacier and feel the crunch of ancient ice beneath your feet while exploring shimmering formations and ridges.

The pace is relaxed, allowing you to fully appreciate the incredible views of the glacier, rugged mountains, and volcanic terrain. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to snap photos.

This experience lasts 2.5 hours in total, with about 1 hour spent on the ice. Group sizes are kept small for a personal and engaging experience. Warm layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy hiking boots are recommended, and rentals are available if needed.

Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or solo, this easygoing glacier walk is the perfect way to witness Iceland’s icy wonder without breaking a sweat.
