Glacier Hikes

When we created the Glacier Hike in Iceland in 1994, our goal was to offer fun and safe adventures for all. We are proud to continue that legacy by providing a variety of tours led by experienced and certified glacier guides. We can transport you from Reykjavík, or you can meet us on location in Skaftafell National Park by Vatnajokull or at Sólheimajökull on the south coast.
