Our guides are AIMG* certified, and have lived in the area for many years, which guarantees our guest a good local knowledge.
We aim at providing our participants with the most complete experience as possible.
The tour starts with a drive towards the trailhead, with a modified 4×4 vehicle, through a rugged dirt country road; After that a short (15 to 30 minutes) approach walk on gravel will get us all the way to the edge of the glacier (its terminal front).
This is where we get fully equipped and prepared for our 3 to 4 hours hike on the actual ice.
The hike on the glacier is moderate, does not involve technical knowledge;
This tour is a great opportunity to spend time exploring the wonders of Vatnajökull glacier, one of the largest ice cap in the world, and will include getting to check closely the depth of such a glacier, through its crevasses, moulins, caves or tunnels.
We try our best to get to places where others aren’t, in order to make this experience a remote one, and so our guests fully feel the wilderness and immensity of nature.
Included is all necessary glacier gear, including crampons, helmet, and harness. Your guide will evaluate each time which gear is necessary.
The customer to guide ratio for this tour is only 8 guest for 1 guide, which enables us to provide quality personal service in the realm of Vatnajökull.
