Description

Set foot into the heart of Southeast Iceland's breathtaking landscapes with this exhilarating five-hour glacier hiking and zip-lining excursion in the Vatnajokull region. Those craving a combination of adrenaline-pumping thrills and stunning views should book this tour now. 

Your day's escapade begins at the glacier lagoon, where you'll meet your knowledgeable glacier guide. They'll give you all the essential equipment, including helmets, harnesses, crampons, and ice axes. Navigating your adventure with the right gear ensures comfort and safety while exploring the glacial environment. You can also rent hiking boots if needed.

As you begin your hike on the glacier, every step immerses you deeper into intricate icy patterns, deep-blue crevices, and imposing ice formations. The sensation of walking across this vast frozen wonderland is surreal. You'll feel the crunch of ancient ice underfoot and the cool air brushing against your face, awakening all your senses.

Witnessing the majestic, ever-changing landscape is an experience like no other. Your expert guide will share information about the glacier's geology and history and how it shapes Iceland's unique terrains.

You don't need any particular skills or experience for this excursion. However, a decent fitness level is essential as the terrain can be demanding.

After your hike, the adrenaline surge peaks with the zip-lining segment. Once securely harnessed, you'll soar across the glacier, relishing the unobstructed panoramic views. Speeding across the vast icy expanse will make you feel like you're flying, an unbeatable experience.

The thrill amplifies as you glide over a Moulin (a vertical ice cave), offering an incredible perspective of the icy realm below. You're not limited to a single fleeting moment of this joy. You'll get at least two runs on the zip line, possibly more if time permits.

After the heart-pounding zip-lining experience, you'll trek back across the glacier. The walk provides further opportunities to soak in the atmosphere and reflect on the day's adventures. Feel the glacier's rhythm under your feet once more as you return to the tour's starting point.

Throughout today's activities, a professional photographer will capture photos of you exploring the glacier and zooming across the zipline in portrait and landscape formats. They'll edit these shots and send them to you within 14 days of your experience. It's the perfect souvenir for you to remember this once-in-a-lifetime tour.

Don't miss the chance to enjoy the perfect combination of awe-inspiring vistas and thrills with this 5-hour glacier and zip-lining tour from the glacier lagoon. Check availability now by choosing a date.
