Description

Spice up your Icelandic vacation with an exhilarating hike across the ice cap of Sólheimajökull glacier, and do so only with your favourite people. This private glacier hiking tour is perfect for those looking for a more personalised and individual experience as they travel through this frosty wilderness. 

Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier of the larger Mýrdalsjökull, located on the south coast of Iceland, and those travelling this beautiful stretch of coastline can meet the guides at the glacier's parking lot. If you prefer, you can opt for a pickup from either Reykjavík city or various towns on the south coast. As this is a private tour, you get to decide when the glacier hike starts, allowing you to tailor this excursion to your holiday. 

Once at the foot of the glacier, you will receive all necessary glacier gear such as crampons and a helmet. The experienced mountain guide will teach you how to use the equipment and tell you a little bit about your surrounding environment before you ascend the mighty ice cap.

You will then make your way up the icy but easily accessible slopes, witnessing on the way the incredible ice formations and crevasses. You'll pass majestic peaks, coloured both white from fresh snow and black from past volcanic eruptions, and look inside glacier moulins to see the electric blue shade of the glacier. 

This private tour aims to get away from the crowds and to find the nooks and crannies of the glacier in which you can be alone and enjoy the silence of your surroundings, as well as the incredible views.

So, don't wait! Add this exciting adventure to your vacation and tailor this tour to best fit your needs. Breathe in the fresh mountain air on top of Sólheimajökull on this immersive glacier hiking tour. Check availability by choosing a date.
