Overview

This exclusive two-day adventure combines adrenaline and awe-inspiring landscapes, starting with a guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull—where you’ll walk across ancient blue ice, explore deep crevasses, and learn about the glacier's formation and future. For those seeking even more adventure, there’s the option to upgrade to an exhilarating ice climbing experience. The journey continues with exploration of Iceland’s dramatic South Coast. On day two, venture deep into Thórsmörk’s untouched highlands, crossing glacial rivers in a super jeep, hiking through towering canyons, and savoring a wilderness BBQ, culminating in a breathtaking panoramic view from Valahnúkur peak.
