Feel like you are on top of the world with this day hike that will get the adrenaline pumping.
Sólheimajökull is part of the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier, which is the 4th largest in Iceland. It has a mixture of ash and ice, which gives it a dark color up close. We will hike around, so you can see various crevasses.

This is a meet on location tour, you will meet your guide in the parking lot for gearing up and a safety briefing. This hike is moderately challenging, so we do not recommend for any smaller children and anyone with physical limitations..

The Team at David the Guide is a small family of adventurers, with a passion for sharing our love of Iceland's natural beauty. We appreciate you booking with us, and look forward to meeting you and having an adventure.
