The tour begins at Skaftafell, where participants receive all necessary safety equipment for the glacier hike. A professional guide leads the group across the ice, using various glacier hiking techniques to explore far onto Falljökull. During the expedition, coffee and chocolates are provided. The tour includes all activities and safety gear but does not include rental of hiking boots or waterproof clothing, which are available for an additional fee. Participants should dress appropriately for the weather and may bring energy snacks. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Reykjavík or other locations are not included.
After a short 10 min. ride on the famous “Tröll Bus”, you’ll immerse yourself in the glacier and begin a short hike to the ice cap. Once there, your guide will explain how to get geared up and what the safest practices to walk on a glacial surface. Once you have your crampons and all necessary equipment on it’s time to take to the ice and begin the adventure. As you get into the glacier outlet, the majestic features of the natural world amaze you. Falljökull is a glacial tongue from Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. The icefall in the area is unique on earth and the further you get, the more it will blow your mind. The out-worldly scenery is comprised the ice formations in the area: deep crevasses, pale moulins, and even ice sculptures. The further we continue exploring, the more the beautiful it gets. Since we’re going to be so high up, we will be able to observe panoramas over Skaftafell National Park, that has gained fame in the last years for being the location for many films and shows. Note that you spend approximately 3 hours and a half hours on the glacier during this expedition.
