What people say

"A trip to Iceland is not complete without a hike on one of the impressive glaciers. The are constantly shrinking, what you see now will be gone in a few years time and so there has never been a better time to enjoy them! You'll join this expedition to the South Coast from Reykjavik. Starting with a hike on Sólheimajökull glacier then proceeding to make stops at the beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall and majestic Skogafoss. After which you'll head to the mighty waves of the Atlantic Ocean at Reynisfjara beach, also known as Black Sand Beach - an absolutely stunning site to see and must do place to visit on your trip. Top tip: Wear layers and pack waterproofs. "

"For a surreal glacial experience, visit Sólheimajökulll. It's amazing just to look at this incredible sight. To really immerse yourself, consider taking a guided glacial tour with special shoes called crampons for a safe exploration of the icy terrain. It is strongly discouraged to hike this glacier without a guided tour & crampons. With unpredictable weather conditions and unstable ice formations, hiking without a guided tour becomes very dangerous."

"Once you are dropped off at the parking lot, there is a short, fully signposted trail that includes a 10-15 minute walk to the viewing point where you can observe the glacier. It is one of Iceland’s most accessible glaciers, located just off the Ring Road. Many tour companies offer guided hikes with different experience levels. I didn't do it but it's surely an amazing experience. "
