Skaftafell: 4h Small Group Glacier Hike with Guide and Transfer

Overview

The Glacier Discovery tour takes you to a majestic glacier ice fall. With a maximum of 8 persons per guide, we prioritise comfort and safety. After a carbon-offset 4×4 ride, we gear up by the glacier’s edge, strap on crampons, grab our ice axes, and begin the hike—ascending over 300 meters towards the ice fall. Surrounded by blue ice and glacier-carved peaks, we explore crevasses, moulins, waterfalls, and other features that emerge in this ever-changing landscape. This tour is perfect for those seeking an in-depth glacier hike in Iceland. Along the way, your guide shares insights into the geology, geography, and history of the area, while pointing out the fascinating, shifting features of the glacier. Its surface and colour change with the seasons, and formations like moulins and crevasses constantly evolve. No prior glacier experience is needed—just curiosity and a sense of adventure!
