Why should I book a Glacier Tour?
Are you passionate about hiking in nature but have never been on a glacier before? Are you an experienced hiker and want to sense the adrenaline of discovering Iceland's most remote landscapes in an adventurous walk on a glacier? Glacier hikes & activities will make your trip to Iceland unforgettable, no matter your level of experience!
Join us to experience the feeling of stomping your feet on thousand-year-old ice, enjoy the "crunchy" sound of each step you take, and make the most out of your adventure in Iceland!
WHICH GLACIER TOUR SHOULD I CHOOSE? We run glacier tours at two different locations:
The Skaftafell nature reserve glacier area:
4 hours and 30-minute drive from Reykjavik.
It is part of the majestic Vatnajokull National Park, named after the largest glacier in Europe: The Vatnajökull. Joining a glacier activity here will give you the extraordinary opportunity to hike on Falljökull (the falling glacier): a stunning outlet glacier that expands out of the Vatnajökull ice cap. Falljökull is a giant frozen waterfall whose dramatic landscape has been naturally carved over thousands of years: it offers unique views over the glacier falls, spectacular moulins, and beautiful crevasses.
Sólheimajökull glacier:
2 hours and 15- minute drive from Reykjavík.
The closest glacier tour we offer from Reykjavik, with its stunning views, crevasses, and ice walls, Sólheimajökull is one of the most hiked glaciers in Iceland; it offers terrain for every level of difficulty: beginners and professionals. Its strategic location makes it easy to drive round-trip from Reykjavik to this destination on the same day.

Glaciers in Iceland
Iceland is a land of glaciers! If you're looking for a scenic, adventurous destination with plenty of nature to explore, look no further than Iceland. Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, Iceland is a volcanic island covered in rugged terrain - perfect for hiking and exploration. One particularly special area to visit is the glacial landscape - a beautiful landscape made up of hundreds of beautiful blue lagoons, waterfalls, and mountains that are covered in ice and snow year-round.
At Troll Expeditions, we offer a variety of tours that depart from Reykjavik that allow you to explore the beautiful Icelandic countryside at your leisure.
There are 269 named glaciers in Iceland. The biggest glacier in Iceland is Vatnajökull - it covers over 8,100 square meters! It's the largest glacier in Europe and it forms over two-thirds of the country's ice caps. Under the glacier there are seven volcanoes, including 4 of the most known and active volcanoes in Iceland: Grimsvotn, Bardarbunga, Kverkfjoll, and Oraefajokull. It's an impressive sight standing over 2000 meters tall in some places. Hiking around the icebergs of this beautiful icy landscape is a must-do activity for visitors to Iceland. If you're looking for an adventure like no other, a trip on the Vatnajökull glacier is definitely for you!
