From
Imagine traveling higher and higher on the glacier as Iceland's highest peaks reach towards the sky around you. You are in an ice-world whose snow-white, and sometimes ice-blue splendor envelopes you, the experience is a little reminiscent of a magic carpet ride towards the roof of the world. Have you left the earth behind and somehow dropped into the landscapes of a surreal ice-fairytale? This is the closest we can come to describing the true wonder of Vatnajökull, the grandest of all the glaciers in Europe!
Your guide is a Vatnajökull specialist who will tell you all about the development of the glacier, its unique features and how it moves. You will also learn how the environment impacts upon the glacier and, conversely, how the glacier has played a major role in shaping the area around it - both aspects to this process are ongoing!

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
