What To Expect

Vatnajokull Glacier

In the summer we want to enjoy the daylight as much as possible. If you had enough of crowds after travelling all day and you would like to enjoy the beauty of the glacier outside of the rush hour, join us for our evening special. We will start by driving you to the glacier. After that your certified guide will show you how to put on crampons necessary for walking on ice and how to use the ice axe which will make the hiking easier. After that you are ready to enjoy all the amazing views the outlet glacier Falljökull has to offer at a time when most of the other groups are already off the ice.

The best guided tour experience ever! I did glacier hiking with Žanet. She was amazing!! She was so informative, helpful and warm hearted! Also I love her jokes. Plus, she is amazing photographer, yay! Also she gave some photo time and showed nice photo spots. Amazing fissures. At the beginning i got so scared of falling down or some other accident. But Žanet made me feel safe. Each step on the glacier was so precious🩵 I'd highly recommend this glacier hiking program.
Incredible experience

This first experience on a glacier was incredible. After a short reassuring explanation on the use of crampons we walked on the glacier, sometimes encoded along faults. That was great.
Great experience

What a fantastic tour! Starting from the friendly team greeting us upon arrival, to our knowledgeable and energetic tour guide Franzy, just an amazing tour overall! The small group tour allowed us to walk a little further than expected and we ended up seeing a small waterfall and experiencing a ‘Viking push-up’. Take the tour and experience it for yourself!
A great experience

We did the guided tour on August 4. With the S.U.V. they have, you can reach almost the same glacier. The guide, Franziska, was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting things about the glaciers. We took some very cool photos, it is one of the most beautiful excursions we have done.
Super walk with amazing ice views

We meet up with the group next to the airport. We were given cranpons and a stick each before we drove to the ice. Our guide Franzy was very good at explaining how to use the equipment and what we saw. We spent 3 hrs and walked 2 hrs on the ice It was good with a small group (8 pers) and we were almost the only ones on the ice at the. We just finished when the rain started.
Great Experience

They take you straight to the Falljokull glacier by cool 4x4 offroad jeep and you don't have to walk from parking like most others! We actually skipped the whole line of other big groups at the beginning of the glacier, because there were just 5 of us including guide! It was very warm and personal like a private tour. Our guide told us many interesting facts and we could all the time ask questions as well. It was very nice and valuable experience and we were just a bit sorry for not choosing the longer option. Thumbs up @melrakkiadventures, totally recommended! TAKK! Mike and Vendy
