Itinerary

Once you're at the meeting point, you'll hop on a special transfer bus or Sleipnir monster truck that'll take you to the Geldingafell Base Camp. Here, you'll get ready for your adventure. On your way to Langjökull – the second largest cap in Iceland – you'll have the perfect opportunity to sit back, relax, enjoy the beautiful landscapes, listen to Icelandic music, and hear exciting stories. 

When you’ve reached the famous glacier destination, you'll have a good time learning about Langjökull and perhaps even trying the taste of glacier water. If there is a chance and good weather conditions, you'll have a few additional activities, such as playing glacier golf or sledding down the glacier (activities are weather-dependent).

After you've had the time of your life and filled your camera with breathtaking views, you'll return to Gullfoss. Your adventure will be over once you're transferred back to the initial meeting point – the upper parking lot at Gullfoss.

FAQ

What should I wear on our glacier trip in Iceland?

Iceland is known for its colorful weather. It can sometimes show you all 4 seasons in one day.

Dressing for this sort of weather can be a challenge so we always recommend dressing in layers. 3 or 4 upper layers are highly recommended such as a light t-shirt (preferably wool) next to the skin, then a fleece or heavy wool garment, topped off with a waterproof windbreaker.

Jeans are not recommended for our trips as they become very heavy, cold and uncomfortable to wear when they get wet.

Lightweight hiking pants, track pants or long cotton pants are best and then wind/waterproof pants over. We also recommend using sunglasses and sunscreen even if it is cloudy due to the high UV and sunlight reflecting off of the glacier.

You will need sturdy hiking boots with ankle support that fit crampons for the glacier hiking tours. If you do not own a pair then we rent out good hiking boots as well as a waterproof raincoat and trousers.

Do I need to bring a backpack on a glacier trip in Iceland?

We recommend bringing your own backpack on our full day or 1/2 day tours. It’s great to carry a small lunch and some extra clothing.

Can I bring my camera along on a glacier tour?

You can bring your camera along, and you should definitely bring one since the setting on the tour is full of amazing, scenic views.

Do I need to bring a lunch with me on the glacier tours?

We do not provide lunch on any of our trips, so we recommend you bring your own lunch (for the longer trips), snacks and a bottle of water (you can refill it on the trip).

How are the tours rated in terms of difficulty?

Our tours are split into four different categories that help participants to understand what to expect from the tour. The categories are Easy, Moderate, Challenging and Demanding. Each tour is rated making it easier to find tours that suit you.

For further information about the difficulty ratings and descriptions.

Why are there glaciers in Iceland?

When snow stays long enough in one place it turns to ice. Over long periods of time, the ice layers up becoming huge blocks called glaciers. As there is a lot of snow in Iceland, it forms to create ginormous glaciers that sweep across huge masses of land. Iceland is home to Europe’s largest glacier named Vatnajökull. This Glacier Guide will also tell you everything you may want to know about Glaciers.

What should I do if I'm having trouble with payment while booking my tour?

If you're having trouble booking your tour, please note that we accept payments in Canadian Dollars (CAD), American Dollars (USD), British Pounds (GBP), Euros (EUR), and Icelandic Króna (ISK). Start by checking with your credit card provider to ensure they allow payments in your selected currency.

Sometimes, your credit card company may need to pre-authorize the transaction before you can complete your booking online.

If you're still facing issues while trying to book through our website, please reach out to our Customer Care Team. We’re here to help you!

Can The Guide Advise if I am Eligible For Rescheduling the Tour and/or a Refund?

No, our guides are not able to provide information on these matters, but our team will be happy to assist you. We kindly ask that you reach out to our customer care team regarding any questions or concerns.

What are crampons?

Crampons are metal spikes that attach to the soles of your hiking boots, providing a secure grip on icy surfaces to prevent slipping. On all our glacier tours where you'll be walking on ice, we provide specialized glacier crampons—sturdier and designed for tougher conditions than regular ice spikes. Your guide will help you put crampons on properly before stepping onto the glacier, and they will be returned after the tour. You can learn more about crampons in this guide.
