Join us for this glacier walk, Iceland's most popular outdoor activities, into the magnificent ice-world of Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe. Your certified glacier guide will introduce you to the basics of glacier hiking while you witness stunning scenery as far as the eye can see astonishing ice formations.

You will come on a hiking expedition to an outlet glacier on part of the biggest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull, and have your mind blown away by the breathtaking views to the ice covered highest peaks of Iceland rising more than 2,000 metres (6.500 ft) over your helmet! The glacier tongues and their spectacular landscape has been scenery for dozens of films and TV shows like James Bond, Interstellar, Batman and Game of Thrones. Follow the footsteps of Pierce Brosnan, Matt Damon and Jon Snow.
