Tour description

Our Glacier Encounter tour is a timeless favorite and an ideal introduction to the wonders of Vatnajökull National Park. During this 3-hour excursion, we delve into the icy realm of Falljökull, an outlet glacier. Riding comfortably in our super jeeps, we conserve energy and maximize time for enjoyment on the glacier. As advocates for environmental responsibility, we offset the carbon emissions of all our tours.

Upon reaching the glacier’s edge, we don crampons and wield ice axes, embarking on a captivating exploration of its features. From moulins and crevasses to moraines and dirt cones, you’ll witness the mesmerizing beauty of this glacial landscape. Your knowledgeable guide will enlighten you about the Öræfi region, home to Iceland’s highest peak and several volcanoes.
