If you have never seen a glacier before and you would like to experience these stunning ice giants a little bit closer, come to the breathtaking area of Skaftafell. Skaftafell is located in Vatnajökull national park, the filming location of movies like Batman Begins, Interstellar and the Game of Thrones series. To maximize the time spent on ice, we drive all the way to the terminus of Falljökull glacier in our 4×4 truck. Before you step on to the ice you will learn the proper way to put on and use the provided glacier gear. We aim to spend around one and a half hour on the ice, exploring moulins, crevasses and more other-wordly formations. Along the way your guide will share ineresting facts about these formations and the origins of the glacier as well as interesting local stories.

The glacier hike was an amazing experience and our guide, Kallia, was incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable about glaciers, volcanoes, Iceland in general. She was perfect mix of educational and fun! I cannot say enough good things about the tour or Kallia!

Took the first hike of the day and with the extra small group. So glad we did as large groups were pouring in as we were ending our hike. Jose was a great guide, informative and took us all around before the large groups arrived. Very memorable and so glad we were able to do this on a great weather day.

This was a true bucket-list experience with Mikhail. He was very knowledgeable and adjusted the hike based on our ability levels (high) so we fit a lot into the three hours. Absolutely recommend!!

This was really cool and absolutely a must-do experience. We were able to drive right to the base of the glacier and spent over two hours hiking around on it, exploring crevasses, taking pictures, and learning a lot of interesting glacier info from our guide (shoutout to Mikhail who was amazing!). It was great having a small group (there were 7 of us), so we were able to spend all our time hiking instead of waiting around. Would definitely do this again!

We did the 4.5 hour glacier hike in May with Michal (not sure I spelled correctly). We were very happy with our adventure and Michal was a wonderful guide. So happy we did the longer experience so we could really get up into the glacier where the ice formations and views up close were so cool! We didn’t want to head back down. Another once in a lifetime experience in Iceland!!

An awesome experience. It was a 3 hour excursion. We had only 4 people in our group. Our guide, Jose, was the best. He made sure we had a wonderful and safe experience. All necessary equipment is provided. We went up much higher than I expected and it was great!

We wanted to do a glacier walk and choose for merakki because they do small groups and they were very helpfull in the chat. We went up the glacier around 9.00 AM with a 4x4 and at the bottom of the glacier we started putting on the clampons. The hike was beautiful, we were there alone, enjoying the enormous ice sheets and beautiful caves and crevasses in the glacier. Our guide took the time to explane everything about the glacier we wanted to know and he was really patiënt. After a 2 hour hike we returned at the base.

Our tour began the morning after a bad storm of wind and rain all night. We arrived and found that my wife and I were the only two people going as the others had canceled from the bad weather with traveling. Our tour guide was Uri, and he was absolutely excellent. He gave us the rundown on the plan and was very efficient with getting all the gear sized and equipped. We drove in an old school Range Rover right to the base of the glacier, and we're the first ones to arrive. We got a very generous amount of time on the glacier by ourselves! And Uri was extremely happy to answer any and all of our questions about the glacier and the land formations around it. Though he told us he was not a glaciologist, he's definitely got an honorary title from us, because his knowledge and excitement to talk about it, and educate us had no bounds. He made sure to stop and give us tips on making it across some challenging stretches of terrain, keeping us confident and enjoying the beauty of Skaftafell. We were even lucky to get to climb through a small ice tunnel on our ascent, which he was more than happy to film for us! And before beginning our journey back down, we asked if there was a place to try that famous Icelandic Glacier Water. He took us to just the place and it was flawless, and quite refreshing. On top of knowledge about the glacier, Uri was overall an excellent conversationalist; and a very nice guy to get to know for the time we were there. We had the most amazing time, and I would recommend Uri to anyone hoping to see, and climb Skaftafell, we will never forget it!
