Once you arrive, you will be provided with the necessary equipment (namely, a helmet and pair of crampons), receive basic safety instructions, then begin your ascent.  No experience is necessary for this incredible experience. All you need to be able to do is walk comfortably across uneven ground. The hike promises to be mesmerising; the ancient ice twists into fascinating and unusual shapes, is coloured with veins of black ash and dashes of electric blue, and the views from atop it, across the verdant South Coast, are otherworldly.  Once your easy yet exhilarating glacier hike is complete, you will continue along the South Coast to Reynisfjara beach. This stunning stretch of coastline is renowned for its black sands and fascinating geology. The two most notable features here are the Reynisdrangar sea-stacks, which rise from the surface of the ocean, and the Dyrhólaey rock-arch, the scale of which is magnificent.  After enjoying the coastal scenery, you will return to the van and start to head back to Reykjavík. You will make one more stop, however, at the waterfall Skógafoss. Falling from over 60 metres high, and up to 20 metres wide, this falls is mesmerising. There is a staircase beside it that will allow you to observe it from several unique angles.  Immerse yourself in the South Coast of Iceland, with this day of sightseeing and adventure.

There are plenty of ways to add more excitement to your vacation, despite its short length. Good things come in small packages, after all. You may choose extra activities to add on to certain days during booking.  On your way around the Golden Circle, you could opt for snowmobiling on the great Langjökull glacier, whizzing over the white expanse without a care, or go snorkelling in the crystal clear Silfra fissure, in the waters that fill the void between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates.  You could also get back to nature with a horseback riding tour in the south Icelandic countryside. The Icelandic horse has one of the smoothest gaits known to man, and their small size means that they are not intimidating, even for beginners.  As you admire the black sand beaches and splashing waterfalls of the south coast, you can take a few hours to hike across the glacier and experience what it feels like to be isolated from the world.  Reserve a date now and welcome to the land of Northern Lights!

Climb upon Sólheimajokull glacier and witness the amazing South Coast of Iceland on this immersive glacier hiking tour. This excursion should not be missed by those seeking adventure, at any time of the year. You will be picked up from Reykjavík for this tour in the morning, and be driven along the ring road south, towards your glacier. You will make several stops on the route, firstly to buy any refreshments, and secondly to take in some amazing sites. The first of these is Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall many know of because of the cave behind it; this depression in the 60-metre tall cliff it falls from means that the cascade can be fully encircled in summer. While the path is closed for safety in winter, seeing this beautiful falls tumble into a field of snow is mesmerising. The second major site you will stop at is Skógafoss waterfall. While no taller than Seljalandsfoss, it seems to be even greater due to its width and power. Even in winter when the flow is at its lowest (as both of these waterfalls are fed by glacial meltwater), it is still mightily impressive. Finally, you will reach Sólheimajökull glacier tongue. This outlet comes from the fourth largest ice cap in the country, Mýrdalsjökull, which covers the explosive volcano Katla. In clear weather, you will be able to see a neighbouring subglacial volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, which erupted in 2010. Your guide will get you and your group ready, into your crampons and helmets, review with you the safety of glacier hiking, then begin the ascent. Following them slowly and carefully, you will be able to marvel at the views of the South Coast, as well as the vividly coloured ice with its crevasses, caves and ridges. You will learn all about the glaciers as you travel, and will have plenty of opportunities for photographs. If there are any particularly unusual features present on the ice cap, your guide will be sure to lead you there. After an exciting exploration, your guide will return you to your vehicle, and you’ll set off back to Reykjavík. Do not miss this opportunity for sightseeing and glacier hiking.
