Glacier Discovery is our most popular glacier hike for a reason—it offers an unforgettable chance to explore the spectacular Sólheimajökull Glacier safely and up close, even for first-timers. Led by certified guides, you'll walk on ice with crampons, peer into deep crevasses, and witness stunning features like ice ridges, sinkholes, and moulins that constantly change with the glacier’s movement.
What sets this tour apart is its perfect balance: it's adventurous yet accessible, educational yet thrilling. You’ll spend real time on the glacier—not just observing from a distance—gaining a deep understanding of how Iceland’s glaciers shape the landscape. With high-quality gear, small group sizes, and passionate guides, this tour provides an authentic and immersive glacier experience unlike any other.

Begin your adventure at Sólheimajökull Base Camp, where your certified glacier guide will outfit you with crampons, helmet, harness, and an ice axe. After a full safety briefing, you’ll take a short walk to the glacier and step onto this spectacular frozen world. During the guided hike, you’ll explore dramatic ice formations, deep crevasses, and vibrant shades of glacier ice — from crystal clear to deep blue. Your guide will share fascinating stories about how glaciers form, move, and interact with Iceland’s volcanic landscape, as well as the effects of climate change on these icy giants. This easy and short glacier walk is designed for beginners — no technical skills needed. With plenty of photo stops and a relaxed pace, it’s the perfect way to safely experience one of Iceland’s most beautiful and accessible glaciers up close.

The awesomeness of the glacier doesn’t need a review, but what does, is the guide. Daniel was as awesome. Interested friendly knowledgeable clear & precise instructions happy, & best of all, empathetic & inclusive. A member of the group was under prepared clothing wise & unsettled. Daniel handled the situation with tact & kindness.

The small group size of six was great for our group of four. The experience of getting on a glacier and climbing down into ice caves was so amazing and such a unique experience. The views are breathtaking and something that needs to be seen in person. The tour was only made better by our guide Eliska who you could tell was very knowledgeable and passionate about her job. Would definitely recommend!

Óskar was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable and made the day really fun! We enjoyed exploring the glacier and the facts that he gave us were great too. The ice climbing was also amazing and so glad we got to do it! Thanks Óskar!

My flight was delayed due to weather. Attempted to contact the tour through the only means provided, no phone number given through booking confirmation. Messaged two hours prior to tour start communicating that my group would be 15 minutes late. Asked whether we should complete the 2 1/2 hour drive to the meeting spot, or if it would be too late to join the excursion. No response. Got to the meeting location and was told that everybody had checked in so the tour left. Giving the guide the benefit of the doubt that we were counted as present when we definitely were not, but very disappointed that there was no communication and no refund given. Even partial refund would have been appreciated and understood. We were given nothing, not even a sorry for leaving without you and having no communication. Don’t book this tour unless you are absolutely sure 100% there will be no delays in your travel. They will leave without you and they will not refund you for this expensive tour.
