About this experience
Skaftafell: Moderate Glacier Hike and Ice Climbing is a guided outdoor tour departing from the Skaftafell area of Vatnajokull National Park in southern Iceland, roughly five hours from Reykjavik. Vatnajokull is Europe's largest glacier by volume, and the tour takes participants onto its outlet glaciers, where crampons and ice axes are standard equipment provided on the day. The hike covers crevassed ice terrain at a moderate pace, with guides explaining glacial formation, meltwater channels, and ice cave structures where conditions allow. The ice climbing segment uses fixed ropes on a vertical ice wall, suitable for beginners. Tickets cover guide fees, all technical glacier equipment, and safety briefing.
