Small-Group South Coast Day Trip with Glacier Hike on Sólheimajökull Glacier from Reykjavik

Your south coast, glacier adventure starts with a pick up authorized pick up points in Reykjavik. After all participants have been picked up you will then head towards the south coast of the island.

It's approximately a 2.5 hour drive to the mighty glacier tongue of Solheimajokull Glacier. Upon arrival at the glacier your certified guide will give you a short introduction to the equipment that you will be using as well as a safety briefing on how to safely explore all that the glacier has to offer. From there, make your way on to the glacier tongue, following your professional guide, where you will put on your crampons (ice cleats) and enter the icy valley. Your guide will help you safely navigate around the crevasses and moulins that mark the glacier, and provide a wealth of information about the formation and development of the the glacier over time. We will spend roughly 1.5 hours on the ice, exploring all that it has to offer.

After the glacier hike you get a short tour of the south coast including a visit to 2 of the south coast's grandest waterfalls before being dropped back at your Reykjavik hotel.
