Ice Hiking and Rock Climbing!

Split your day between hard ice and volcanic rock—max four guests per guide for a semi-private adventure. Order of activities may swap to follow the best weather.

What You’ll Do

• Explore the glacier – learn how ice forms, flows and melts; walk crevasse fields in crampons.
• Vertical ice sample – descend into a moulin, swing tools, and climb back out on attached to a rope.
• Climb basalt pillars – move your body on lava columns, routes chosen to match your level.
• Choose your mix – more ice climbs, extra rock pitches, or an extended ice hike—the small numbers allow us to decide on the day.
• All gear included – crampons, axes, ropes, helmets, rock rack; you bring layers and sturdy boots.
• Certified safety – glacier-licensed guide + Wilderness First Responder; 1 : 4 ratio for personal coaching.

Who's it for:

It does not matter if you are a beginner that has never stepped on ice or an experienced mountaineer. Thanks to the semi-private nature of the trips and the guide's skill, we adapt the experience so you can have a great time out!

Location:

• Meeting on location: Solheimajökull glacier parking. Then we will move to a different location for rock climbing.
• Pick up: Available at various points in Reykjavík and along the way. May be selected during check out.

Safety comes first, so if the weather isn't good, we may change the date of the tour. If we cannot provide a date on the following day, we will offer a 100% refund.
