ABOUT THE TOUR

THE PLAN

​

​Our Glacier Walk Journey begins inside the modified Land Rover Defender 4x4 vehicle heading towards the Vatnajökull glacial outlet Fláajökull. Once we get close, we will hike for about 40 min through recently shaped landscapes and over moraines to reach the edge of the glacier. Before we embark and take our first steps on the glacier, our glacier guides will conduct a safety briefing as well as equipping everyone with Crampons, Harness, Helmets and a Mountaineering Ice Axe, from here we take our first steps on the Fláajökull glacier outlet. During the journey our guide will share local knowledge of the area, the glacier and surrounding landscapes as well as guiding us through beautiful glacial terrain, perhaps even stopping to drink the purest water which can be found in Iceland. 

​

IS THIS TOUR FOR YOU ?

​

The Glacier Adventure tour is perfect for those who wish to get close and personal to these mystical formations in a small and comfortable group of maximum 6 people. The guide will assess the group ability and adapt to it, so it is great for beginners and for those who have walked on glaciers before. If you want a small group tour on a 'off the beaten track' glacier this tour is for you. No rush, no crowds. Just the spectacular Fláajökull. During the different times of the year, the glacier looks and behaves in different ways. Colors, streams, crevases, and moulins change and we witness this changes first hand. The ever changing terrain allow us to take you to a unique place to create a unique experience. Although the tour is not physically very demanding and your guide will adapt to your needs, keep in mind that since the tour involves hiking, you need to be in good health.
