Private Glacier Hike on Sólheimajökull: Meet on Location

Hiking on a glacier should be on everybody's Bucket List. Indeed, Iceland is the land of ice, it basically the name of the country.

11% of the surface of Iceland is covered with glaciers, and wherever you go, it is very hard to miss them.

During the first phase of this tour, your guide will gear you up with harnesses, helmets and ice Axes, and he will adjust the size of your crampons. You will then walk with him all the way to the edge of the glacier, where he will give you instructions about how to put on the crampons, and how to walk safely on a glacier.

The next phase is the most exciting of the tour: You will hike on a glacier! Your guide will take you as far away as it is possible from all the other tours, to make you feel like you are alone on the glacier and give you a intimate experience.
