Description
Hike on Solheimajokull Glacier, step inside a natural ice cave, and visit two South Coast waterfalls on this small-group tour from Reykjavik.
After pickup at a bus stop in Reykjavik, you travel by minibus with free Wi-Fi to Solheimajokull Glacier, about 98 miles (158 kilometers) from the city. Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier of Myrdalsjokull, the fourth-largest ice cap in Iceland.
At the parking lot, you put on crampons, a harness, a helmet, and an ice axe, and then step onto the ice with your certified glacier guide. You hike past ridges, crevasses, and a glacier lagoon while learning how these formations are created.
Then you head inside the natural ice cave in the glacier, a chamber of shimmering blue ice.
After the glacier, you visit Skogafoss Waterfall, which drops 197 feet (60 meters) and is 82 feet (25 meters) wide. Local legend says there's a chest of gold hidden behind the falls.
Further west is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, where you can walk behind the falling water for most of the year.
Then you head back to Reykjavik.
