GLACIER HIKING DAY TRIPS
Glacier hiking day trips operate from both Reykjavik and Skaftafell in the south east.

From Reykjavik the most popular day trip takes you out exploring Sólheimajökull, one of the most impressive glaciers in Iceland and great as an introduction to glacier hiking. The Blue Ice Glacier Hiking tour is available every day, all year round.

Also departing from Reykjavik, but heading a little further afield is the Snaefellsjokull Glacier Hike. This is a day trip aimed at those with more hiking experience and is essentially a mountain climbing trip, to the summit of one of Iceland’s most iconic volcanic mountains, Snaellsjokull.
