This incredible adventure will take you into the Vatnajökull National Park in South-East Iceland and onto the biggest glacier in Europe. We will take a 4-hour drive along the South Coast on the Skaftafell Express Coach and have lunch at the Skaftafell Visitor Center Cafe before starting our adventure.

​

From there we will go for an exploratory hike on the glacier and feel the ancient ice under our feet and all around. High above us on the outlet glacier looms the massive Vatnajökull glacier in all its grandeur, a sight not soon forgotten.

​

Geared up on crampons (metal spikes for the soles of our shoes) we walk on the ice and along the way we witness spectacular ice formations, winding sinkholes and deep ice crevasses.

​

Our highly qualified glacier guides will tell you all about Vatnajökull glacier and the rough outlet glaciers that descend from the main hub, towards the ocean. From here
we continue onwards to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon on Breiðamerkursandur.

​

This place is one of the absolute “must-sees” and there is no better way to explore it than on a boat. We will find ourselves gliding between huge icebergs, which constantly break away from the glacier tongue of Breiðamerkurjökull, producing a wonder world of ice, a sight hard to describe with words.



Bring with you: Warm and waterproof outdoor clothing, headwear and gloves. Good hiking shoes are recommended.
