Got a rental car and exploring Iceland’s South Coast? This is the perfect way to add real adventure to your road trip.
Meet your certified glacier guide at the parking lot of Sólheimajökull, one of Iceland’s most accessible outlet glaciers. After a safety briefing, you’ll gear up with crampons, helmet, harness, and ice axe — all included — before stepping onto the ancient ice.
Over 1.5–2 hours, explore dramatic crevasses, deep ice formations, and ever-changing glacier landscapes while learning fascinating (and surprisingly fun) facts about how glaciers shape Iceland. Your small-group format ensures a more personal, relaxed experience with plenty of time for photos and questions.
No prior glacier experience is needed — just a sense of adventure and comfort walking on uneven terrain. Located about 2.5 hours from Reykjavík, this meet-on-location hike is the ideal active stop while driving the South Coast.
