About this experience

Explore Iceland's incredible glaciers with our most popular glacier hiking tour. This tour is perfect for those looking for a quick introduction to glacier hiking in Iceland. Our 4x4 vehicles brings us all the way to the edge of the glacier. After a short hike to reach the ice, your guide will show you how to use your crampons and ice axe.

We will spend an hour hiking and exploring the stunning Falljökull glacier, famous for its incredibly gorgeous icefall. Your guide will tell you plenty of stories about the glacier, its ice features and the scenic valley, which is surrounded by the highest mountain peaks in Iceland!
