Private Waterfall Ice Climbing Tour from Reykjavik

About the Activity

What to Expect

Let us take you on a unique ice-climbing adventure in the frozen wonderlands of Iceland. Your journey begins with a short drive from Reykjavik, during which you will be immersed in the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland. Upon arrival at the base of a majestic frozen waterfall, our expert guide will provide the necessary equipment, including harness, helmet, crampons, and ice climbing boots. You will receive a detailed introduction to the basics of ice climbing, ensuring you are well-prepared for the adventure ahead.

The climb itself involves multi-pitch ascents, meaning you will tackle several sections, or "pitches," of the frozen waterfall, each offering its own set of challenges and rewards. This structured approach allows for breaks and provides an opportunity to absorb the stunning surroundings as you ascend. Throughout the climb, you will learn essential skills such as proper foot placement and tool usage, which are crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency on the ice. Your guide will offer insights and tips to help you refine your technique and gain confidence on the ice.

Our small, family-run business specializes in mountain and glacier tours, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience for all participants. This ice-climbing adventure is ideal for families, friends, companies, outdoor adventurers, and thrill seekers. Whether you are a seasoned climber or a complete beginner, this unique experience promises a memorable and thrilling day out in one of nature's most dramatic settings.
