Itinerary

Once you arrive at your meeting point, you’ll start your journey in a special transfer bus or directly in the Sleipnir monster truck. Your first destination is Geldingafell Base Camp, where you’ll get ready for your upcoming adventure on the glacier.

En route, all you’ll need to do is appreciate the moment, look at the eye-catching scenery surrounding you, and enjoy the ride. That’ll be especially easy with the Icelandic music playing in the background and hearing all those amusing stories the guide will tell you. 

When you’ve reached the second-largest glacier in Iceland, you’ll have a chance to learn a lot about it and perhaps even get to taste some glacier water. If there is a chance and good weather conditions, you’ll be able to slide down the glacier and play some glacier golf.

After such a memorable day exploring one of Iceland’s greatest glaciers, it’s time to head back. The reliable monster truck will return you to Gullfoss, your initial meeting spot.

FAQ

Is a backpack necessary on a glacier trip in Iceland?

The scenery on the tour is full of stunning, breathtaking views that you’ll almost definitely want to capture forever, so you should definitely bring your camera along. Your tour guide will also be happy to take your photo.

Can the tour itinerary change?

Please read more information in our terms and conditions in regards to this matter.

Does Adventures.com have a guide on all of their tours?

Yes, we have specially trained and certified glacier guides on every glacier tour that we offer. And for our 3rd party tours we only partner with operators that meet our quality and safety standards.

What happens if it is raining?

That’s why we highly recommend appropriate clothing so you can stay warm and dry.
Nature is out of our control and therefore we need to adapt to the weather. Your safety is our priority so if your safety is compromised by going on the tour then we will cancel it and you will get full reimbursement.

For further information about the difficulty ratings and descriptions.

Am I allowed to drink alcohol before or during the tours?

Alcohol is prohibited on all of our tours before and during activities. If we find the participant to be intoxicated, we will prohibit them from taking part in the activity.

After the activities of the day are finished then you are more than welcome to have a drink and relax.

Why do we have glaciers in Iceland?

Iceland is known to have a lot of snow and when the snow stays long enough in one place than it turns to ice. Over long periods of time, the ice layers up becoming huge blocks called glaciers. It forms to create ginormous glaciers that sweep across huge masses of land. Iceland is home of the largest glacier in Europe that is called Vatnajökull. The Glacier Guides can tell you more about and everything you need to know about the Glaciers.

Will I need crampons for this tour?

Crampons are metal spikes that fasten to the soles of your hiking boots to provide a reliable grip on icy surfaces and help prevent slipping. For our glacier tours involving walking on ice, specialized glacier crampons are provided. These are stronger and more durable than standard ice spikes, designed specifically for challenging glacier conditions. Your guide will assist you in putting them on before you step onto the glacier, and they will be collected at the end of the tour.
