A glacier hike is a great way to experience Icelandic nature. On this full day, small group, guided tour, you will walk on the Sólheimajökull glacier tongue, which extends outward from Mýrdalsjökull. From here you will take an easy 3-3.5 hour walk on crampons up on the ice field, where you will learn more about the glacial wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges, deep crevasses, and why the glaciers are melting and disappearing.

The whole tour was fantastic. Bjerki, our guide for the day was excellent! He was on time, respectful and accommodating. We really appreciated his stories and recommendations. We saw waterfalls, enjoyed black sand beach, and hiked a glacier! We had enough time at each destination to enjoy and take pictures, never felt rushed. Henrique our glacier hike guide was also extremely respectful and helpful especially when we felt more nervous about the hike. The bus was very comfortable, had usb ports for wifi, was clean, a good temperature and relaxed. Highly recommend doing this tour.
