This is a must-try chance to walk on one of Iceland's remarkable glaciers and feel the ice crunch under your crampons! In a small group with one of our passionate, certified glacier guides, you’ll not only walk on the glacier itself, but also see how it’s changing up close – from deep crevasses and ice walls to moulins and a glacier lagoon filled with icebergs. We provide all the technical gear, keep the pace beginner-friendly, and pack the tour with information, scenery and photo stops, so you step off the ice with great memories and a real connection to Iceland’s glacier world.
