Description

Book this incredible ice hiking excursion to experience the extraordinary world of the Fjallsjokull glacier. Those eager to take on the challenge of a glacier hike away from the tourist crowds should book this small group tour now.

Your tour begins at the meeting point at the Fjallsarlon glacier lagoon car park. Here, you'll meet the expert English-speaking guide leading you on the glacier hike and the other guests on the tour.

This excursion is a small group tour, so you will have plenty of time to chat with your guide and ask any questions. You will get a personalized experience away from large crowds.

You will climb aboard a 4x4 vehicle and get comfortable for a 15-minute drive to the hike's starting point. From here, you will hike for around 45 minutes to the edge of the Fjallsjokull glacier.

Fjallsjokull glacier is located in Southeast Iceland and forms part of the larger Vatnajokull glacier. It flows down from the ice cap into the Fjallsarlon lagoon, creating a stunning landscape where icebergs float in the glacial waters.

The glacier offers visitors a chance to experience its icy environment up close. Surrounding mountains add to the dramatic scenery, creating incredible photo opportunities.

Fjallsjokull glacier's relatively accessible location and natural beauty make it a notable attraction for those exploring Iceland's diverse and dynamic landscapes.

Your guide will give you a thorough safety briefing and all the equipment you need to feel comfortable on the ice, including a helmet, crampons, and a harness.

You will spend around 90 minutes exploring the glacier, descending into its crevasses, and traversing the frozen landscape. You will get spectacular views of the Fjallsarlon glacier lagoon.

As the Fjallsarlon glacier is lesser-known than some of Iceland's other glaciers, you will get a unique experience away from crowds of people. On your small group tour, enjoy the tranquility of the glacier with the rest of the guests.

You will hike between 3.1 and 4.3 miles (5 and 7 kilometers) with a small ascent. This moderately difficult hike is suitable for anyone with a good level of fitness.

You'll return to the meeting point at the end of the tour. You can buy refreshments at the restaurant here if you are hungry or thirsty. From here, you can continue your adventures in Iceland.

On this ice hiking tour, you will enjoy the incredible experience of exploring an Arctic glacier. Check availability now by choosing a date.
