Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Falljökull, 785, Iceland

If you have never seen a glacier before and you would like to experience these stunning ice giants a little bit closer, come to the breathtaking area of Skaftafell. Skaftafell is located in Vatnajökull national park, the filming location of movies like Batman Begins, Interstellar and the Game of Thrones series. To maximize the time spent on ice, we drive all the way to the terminus of Falljökull glacier in our 4×4 truck. Before you step on to the ice you will learn the proper way to put on and use the provided glacier gear. We aim to spend around one and a half hour on the ice, exploring moulins, crevasses and more other-wordly formations. Along the way your guide will share ineresting facts about these formations and the origins of the glacier as well as interesting local stories.

Duration: 3 hours

This tour was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Zanet was friendly and fun yet also made sure we were focused and safe. Everyone in our family enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend due to the closer parking to the glacier and extra small group!
