    Today's itinerary glacier walk is dependent on weather conditions. The order of the activities may be adjusted for safety reasons.
    To participate in the glacier hike, you’ll need to wear ankle high shoes to properly fit the ice crampons.
    No previous experience is necessary to partake in the glacier hike – your guide will provide a safety briefing and all necessary equipment. However, please note that this hike can be physically demanding. The terrain is uneven and potentially slippery, which may be challenging for those with certain health or mobility concerns. A reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required.

Trip moments from our travelers
Before you book you should know
Is this trip right for you?
  • A remote location and high-performing currency are just two reasons Iceland can be an expensive destination. This affects things like museum entrance fees and outdoor activities but is especially noticeable when eating out. Your leader will be able to advise you on ways to get the best value during your visit.
  • The extremity of the weather makes for incredible scenery, but it also means Iceland can be very cold, especially at the start and at the end of the season and at night. Please bring appropriate clothing such as a down jacket, thermals layers, gloves and suitable footwear.
  • On the rare occasion that your leader must alter the itinerary due to adverse weather, they will discuss the necessary changes and alternatives with you and offer alternative activities and routes wherever possible.
Visa information
Visa details are provided through Sherpa, a third-party service. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements, not full entry visas. Additional service fees apply if you purchase a visa via Sherpa.
Accommodation
Hotel (4 Nights)
The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.
Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available.
