Experience the best of the mighty Vatnajökull Glacier! Local Guides provide three amazing glacier hiking excursions that suit families through to adventurers.

Local Guide offer these three amazing glacier hiking adventures:

Short Glacier Hike: a 2 hour glacier stroll, hit deep in the glacier and sea all of the natural features and wonders and still have half a day to see other sites of Iceland.

Half Day Glacier Hike: With an ice axe in hand explore the glacier ice hiking style over 4 hours deep in the Vatnajökull Glacier!

Full Day Glacier Hike: Learn glacier hiking techniques in the most adventurous glacier tour for those looking for a unique challenge in Iceland.

Throughout any of the tours Local Guide will be sure to point the fascinating features of the ice whilst teaching you some local geography and history.

Rest assured the no glacier hiking trip is the same as the glacier surface and colours change every single day, a lot depending on the time of year, but summer is the perfect time to get up on the ice and explore.
