You get to decide the starting time for your glacier hike, and your guide will tailor the tour to your party's interests and abilities. You will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions during the hike.

The tour suits experienced and new hikers, so you don't need to have hiked on a glacier before.

Solheimajokull glacier is a stunning natural attraction in South Iceland. It is an outlet glacier of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap, and deep crevasses and rugged ice formations mark its surface.

The glacier is easy to reach from the Ring Road, making it a popular stop for visitors. The glacier is retreating due to climate change, and you will learn more about the impact of this during your tour.

When you reach the foot of the glacier, your guide will give you all the necessary glacier gear, such as crampons and a helmet. You'll experience cold temperatures on the glacier, so wear warm, waterproof clothing.

The experienced mountain guide will teach you how to use the equipment and tell you a little about your surrounding environment before ascending the mighty ice cap. You'll also get a thorough safety briefing.

You will then go up the icy but easily accessible slopes, seeing the incredible ice formations and crevasses.

You'll pass majestic peaks, colored both white from fresh snow and black from the lava from past volcanic eruptions, and look inside glacier moulins to see the electric blue shade of the glacier.

Your guide will aim to get you away from the crowds, finding places your group can explore on their own. You'll walk through deep crevasses along jagged ridges and see sinkholes, all without the crowds of tourists you might usually see during tours.

After your glacier hike, you'll return to the meeting point in the Solheimajokull glacier to continue your adventures in Iceland.
