About the Activity

What to Expect

Explore Iceland's nature with this Glacier Hike to Sólheimajökull Glacier and Tour to Reynisfjara Beach & Waterfalls! Begin your adventure by stepping aboard a comfortable minibus, where your friendly driver-guide will whisk you away on a scenic journey through Iceland's stunning South Coast. The adventure unfolds as you make your way to the first stop, the magnificent Skógafoss Waterfall. Here, the mighty 60-meter cascade descends over ancient cliffs, creating a mist that often catches the sunlight, turning into vivid rainbows.

Next, prepare for the highlight of the tour: a thrilling 2.5-hour glacier hike, with 1.5 hours spent navigating the icy expanse of the Sólheimajökull Glacier. Equipped with crampons, a helmet, and an ice axe, your expert guide will lead you safely across this frozen wonderland. Marvel at the blue crevasses, taste the pure glacier water, and absorb fascinating insights into the history and geology of Iceland's glaciers. The experience is exhilarating and safe, making it an unforgettable part of your journey.

After a quick ride, arrive at the enchanting Reynisfjara black sand beach. Stroll on the unusual black sands and admire the striking basalt columns, the domed cave, and the dramatic Reynisdrangar rock formations. Capture these awe-inspiring views for your photo collection. On your return to Reykjavik, stop at the picturesque Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can walk behind the waterfall and feel the power of its thundering cascade. This extraordinary day trip includes a guided glacier hike with all safety gear, free pick-up and drop-off in Reykjavik, and a lively English-speaking driver-guide who ensures your journey is as informative as it is fun.
