Description
This tour is for the adventurous travelers that want to get away from the crowd and explore magical places out of the beaten path where you can breathe in the fresh Icelandic air. You get to know the surrounding area from the perspective from our local point of view. On this tour we will experience natural unique ice formation, for example, ice-moulin, ice tunnel, spectacular blue ice walls, and even the start of a small ice cave formatting.
One of the most unique aspects of our trip is that the glacial environment is in a constant state of movement and change, meaning no one tour is the same as the next. The glacier periodically forms ice caves, blue ice tunnels, moulins, and other incredible features as it melts. Our expert guides will determine if any such ice features are safe to explore on the day of the tour and may add them to the trip as a bonus.
We visit Breiðamerkurjökull, one of Vatnajökull biggest outlet glaciers located within the Vatnajökull National Park.
We start the tour from Glacier Adventures meeting point, Hali. From there we drive our super jeeps to the edge of the glacier. That takes about 30 minutes. From there we hike around 1 km to the glacier where we put on the crampons and get an introduction to the equipment and safety rules needed to explore the glacier. Crampons make it easy to walk on the ice so that there’s no worry of slipping. Other security items include harnesses, helmets and ice axes.
We spend about 4 hours on the glacier, walking and exploring the magical glacier features. This is truly an unforgettable experience.
