This is a 3 hours hike on the glacier tongue of Europes biggest glacier and a perfect opportunity for a first hand experience of all great things a glacier has to offer such as crevasses, moulins and glacier mice. While enjoying the view on the Skaftafell National Park you will be provided with interesting information on the formation of glaciers and get the opportunity to feel the force of misty Vatnajökull glacier.

The 3 hour glacier tour is suitable for the whole family and ideal for everyone who is looking for a short adventure. After we provide everyone with crampons and ice axes at our hut in Skaftafell we are taking you on a short 15-minute bus ride to Falljökull Glacier, which is located in a stunning valley that is surrounded by impressive mountains. This part of Europes biggest glacier is easily accessible and offers everything glaciers are known for in a short reach.


A short walk threw the glacier valley will take us to the glacier tongue, where we finally get on the ice. Your guide will safely lead you around the big crevasses and moulins and explain the different characteristics as well as the formation of glaciers. The trip allows about 1 hour on the ice, which gives you enough time to experience the size and force of a glacier.
