Follow the footsteps of James Bond and hike across the Vatnajökull glacier. Get back to nature on a hike with an English-speaking guide in the dramatic wilderness of Falljokull.
Join us for one of the most well-liked outdoor activities in Iceland: a walk on the glacier. Trek across the breathtaking ice world of Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. You will see breathtaking landscapes and incredible ice formations with your experienced glacier guide.
Meet your highly qualified glacier guide at Troll Expeditions Skaftafell 20 minutes prior to departure, where your tour will begin. Your guide will provide you all the equipment you need once you get there, including a helmet, crampons, a harness, and an ice axe. Some businesses don't supply all the necessary safety equipment, so please remember that wearing a safety helmet is crucial to protecting your head while hiking. After getting ready, you will start heading out to reach the glacier.
Following a quick 10-minute ride on the "Tröll Bus" and a brief hike to the glacier, your guide will go over how to use your equipment and the safest walking technique on a glacial surface.
It will take around 20 minutes to go to the glacier because of the massive volume of melted ice. The moss line of the surrounding mountains will show you where ice was only a few years ago, and you will see the remaining remnants of the melting ice in a lagoon along the road. You will also be able to observe how the ice has distorted the bedrock. Your guide will show you how to walk on ice once you arrive at the glacier, and following a brief safety briefing, you will begin your trip on the freezing Falljökull glacier, one of the most enchanted and enigmatic outposts of the Vatnajökull Glacier. During the three-hour journey, you will be able to witness the stunning glacial scenery that sets Falljökull apart from other outlets.
Note that the actual time spent glacier hiking is approximately 1 and a half hours.
Your guide will show you the glacier's most impressive features during the tour, which include crevasses, moulins, glacier mice (a kind of moss), enormous ice falls, and even ice caverns.
