Glacier hike for early birds

Glacier hikes on Sólheimajökull
(early bird special)

Itinerary

Our tours avoid the glacier rush hour by setting out early, and boy is it worth the red eye. Sólheimajökull is an extremely beautiful place to be alive, and even more special when you avoid the crowds. If you have never stepped on rock solid 600 year old ice, then this is your chance for a whole lot of fun.

The views from the glacier are breathtaking so charge your camera and bring an extra memory card. The landscape here is constantly changing, and on your visit you will get to see how much the ice has melted in the last couple of years.

We will provide crampons for a good grip and ice axes (to fight the polar bears😉). Please make sure you bring sensible footwear to explore the ice.

As a small independent company, we offer these tours upon request. Why not experience the majesty of Sólheimajökull glacier using a friendly & personal service, run by a local guide? It's a million times better than the impersonal experience of a big coach tour.
