This tour is for the adventurous travelers that wants to get away from the crowd and explore magical places out of the beaten path. Get to know the surrounding area from the perspective from our local point of view. On this tour we will experience natural unique ice formation, for example ice-moulin, ice tunnel, spectacular blue ice walls, and even the start of a small ice cave formatting.
We visit Breiðamerkurjökull, one of Vatnajökull biggest outlet glaciers located within the Vatnajökull National Park. Every winter our guides scout the front part of the glacier to find interesting features that we can go into and explore.
You will get the chance of being lowered in a blue moulin and climb back up secured in a line, go through an ice tunnel and in between tall blue ice walls. There will be enough time for great photo opportunities. The tour can take between 4 – 4,5 hours. 1,5 – 2 hours are spent on the glacier, walking and exploring the ice.
You will be provided with crampons, helmet, harness and an ice axe if needed. Please read over the needed equipment list to see what you need to wear and bring with.
This tour is rated moderate. The age limit is 14 years old.
We start the tour from Glacier Adventures meeting point, Hali. From there we drive one of our jeeps to the edge of Vatnajökull Glacier. That takes about 30 minuets. From there we walk 1 km to the glacier where we put on crampons to walk up to the moulin and ice tunnels. We spend about 1,5 – 2 hours on the glacier, walking and exploring the magical glacier features. This is truly an unforgettable experience.
