Full Day Glacier Tour on Langjokull Glacier from Reykjavik

About the Activity

What to Expect

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind Icelandic adventure on our glacier tour on Langjökull Glacier, departing from Reykjavik. Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, spans an impressive 953 square kilometers in the central highlands. This glacier is renowned for its vast ice cap and features one of the world's largest human-made ice tunnels, offering a unique chance to explore its icy depths.

The journey begins with a thrilling ride in a specially modified truck that takes you high up into the remote areas of the glacier. Equipped with crampons, you will venture into the heart of the glacier, marvelling at the stunning blue-hued ice as your guide leads you through this icy wonderland. Descending into the glacier is a surreal experience, allowing you to witness the power and beauty of nature from within. After this extraordinary exploration, you will enjoy lunch in Húsafell before heading to the picturesque Borgarfjörður valley.

The tour continues with a visit to Hraunfossar, a beautiful lava waterfall that stretches nearly a mile, gushing through a lava wall. This mesmerising sight is a perfect conclusion to your day, showcasing the incredible natural forces that shape Iceland's landscapes. This tour is ideal for adventure seekers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique experience exploring Langjökull Glacier and its stunning surroundings.
