Gravity changes on ice walls. Here, I love two things most: the small group limit (6 people) and the full glacier kit you get before stepping onto Falljökull. It is also a real physical challenge, so one drawback to plan…
Thórsmörk quickly turns a normal day into an adventure. This hike tour is built for Icelandic conditions, with super jeeps that drop you deep into Þórsmörk Mountain Reserve and a route that flexes as the weather and footing change. I…
The drive toward Katla Glacier is the fun part. This Katla Ice Cave tour from Vik mixes an off-road 4WD ride, quick stops for big glacier views, and a guided walk into an ice cave on Mýrdalsjökull. I love the…
Sólheimajökull is small enough to feel personal. One moment you’re on land; the next you’re stepping onto a glacier that looks like it belongs to a different planet. I love the combination of blue-ice features and real instruction from a…
South Iceland can feel like a movie set. This day tour stitches together the big hits and then adds the scary-cool part: Katla Ice Cave by super-jeep. You start with waterfall time, swing by the black sand beach at Vik,…
Ice feels different up close. That’s what this Sólheimajökull glacier walk and ice climbing tour delivers: you trade distant photos for real time on an Icelandic glacier, then move up to a short ice wall climb with safety gear and…
Vík’s zipline hike is a fast way to see southern Iceland from above. I like that you get three named ziplines (Big Rush, The Gentle Giant, Little Rush) plus a real hiking route through the Grafargil rock area, not just…
That glacier ride hits different. This Vik tour takes you onto Mýrdalsjökull, the large ice cap north of town, with the big wow factor that you’re riding over the hidden Katla Volcano caldera. You start at Mýrdalsjökull Base Camp, get…
Cold water, big ice, big wow. Sólheimajökull Glacier Lagoon is one of those rare places where the view is best from the water, not the road. You’ll paddle on still lagoon water, getting close enough to see how icebergs break…
That glacier hike feels like a quest. This 12-hour South Coast day tour strings together the famous stops you came for, then adds a proper off-road push to reach the Katla Ice Cave on Kötlujökull, an icefall of Mýrdalsjökull. You’ll…
Underground history can feel surprisingly personal. The Ancient Historical Site Tour at the Caves of Hella takes you to four of the site’s 12 man-made caves at Ægissíða, guided by locals who tell the stories behind what you see. It…
Volcano science, minus the guesswork. At Lava Centre in Vik, you get a high-tech walk-through that explains why Iceland keeps shaking and erupting, with hands-on exhibits and real-feeling simulations. It also helps you connect the big Iceland story to the…
Ice caves and volcano ash, all in three hours. This is a Mýrdalsjökull glacier tour that takes you by super jeep to the Kötlujökull Ice Cave under Katla Volcano. You’ll strap on crampons, hike on ice, then step inside a…
Ice tunnels and crampons in the same tour. This Sólheimajökull Glacier hike turns a cold, gray place into something you can actually read and understand, with your guide pointing out ice formations, how they form, and what makes this glacier…
The best part starts before you even park the car. A Super Jeep day in Thórsmörk gets you into the valley between glaciers and volcanoes, with dramatic stops and real time to look around. I love the close-up access to…
