Ultimate Glacier Adventure
Iceberg Boat Tour and a secluded Glacier Hike
Tour description
The tour
Prepare for the Ultimate Glacier Adventure in Iceland, an experience that combines the best of Iceland’s majestic glacier landscapes in one seamless experience, a zodiac boat tour across a glacial lagoon, and a crowd free glacier hike. This is the ultimate glacier adventure for those who want to experience it all.
Your Glacier Adventure Awaits
Your journey begins with an exhilarating Zodiac Boat Tour transfer on one of Iceland’s stunning glacial lagoons, Fjallsárlón. An experienced guide will expertly navigate you through a labyrinth of floating icebergs, offering an up-close view of Fjallsjökull glacier and the towering Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. This is your chance to witness the serene beauty of the icebergs as they drift gracefully by. The boat transfer is around 20-30 minutes across the lagoon where you will be dropped off at the glacier’s edge to start your next adventure.
Next, you’ll embark on a breathtaking glacier hiking experience on Fjallsjökull glacier. You’ll step onto the secluded Fjallsjökull glacier, an outlet glacier on the South Coast of Iceland. This ensures a quiet, personal, and crowd-free experience. Our expert guides will lead you for 60-90 minutes on the glacier, allowing you to explore the untouched beauty of the ice, create unforgettable memories, and witness the raw power of this frozen landscape. Please note that there is a short scenic hike from where the boat docks to where you hike onto the glacier.
After your glacier hike experience you will head back to the boat and be transferred back across the lagoon.
Seamless and Stress-Free
We’ve made it easy to have the perfect glacier experience. All activities start and end at our Fjallsárlón tour reception, so there’s no need to rush or travel between locations. With free parking, restrooms, and our on-site Frost restaurant, you can unwind and reflect on your incredible day before heading out.
