A 6-Hour Experience | Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier Hike This tour is for adventurous travelers who want to get away from the crowds, explore magical places off the beaten path, and breathe in the fresh Icelandic air. You can get to know the surrounding area from our local perspective. On this tour we will experience naturally unique ice formations such as ice mills, ice tunnels, spectacular blue ice walls and even the beginning of a small ice cave. One of the unique aspects of our trips is that the glacier environment is in a constant state of movement and change, meaning that no one trip is the same as the next. Ice caves, blue ice tunnels, mortars and Other Standard Price features are regularly formed as glaciers melt. Our expert Guide will determine if it is safe to explore such icy landscapes on the day of the tour and may add it to the tour as a bonus. We visit Breiðamerkurjökull, one of the large Vatnajökull glaciers located in Vatnajökull National Park. We started our journey from the glacier expedition Meeting point Harry. From there we drove the Super Jeep to the edge of the glacier. This takes approximately 30 minutes. From there we hiked about 1 km to the glacier where we put on crampons and learned about the equipment and safety rules needed to explore the glacier. Crampons allow you to walk easily on ice without worrying about slipping. Other safety items include harnesses, helmets and ice axes. We spent about 4 hours on the glacier, exploring the amazing glacier features on foot. It was indeed an unforgettable experience. The rating for this trip is average. Age limit is 14 years. There will be plenty of Time to take great photos. Tour Time may take 5 - 6 hours. <img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0355712000dgty5i9F679_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="17549078" sourcewidth="1100" sourcehight="619"> Timeslot:9:30Meeting point:Hali, Höfn 781, ISItinerary reference Duration:about 6 hoursWhat's included:Helmet, crampons, safety harness, ice ax (if needed), headlamp (if needed), local GuideThe fee does not include:Food and beverages and all What's included Other charges not mentioned B 4-Hour Experience | Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier Hike On this tour you will explore one of the wonders of Vatnajökull National Park - Breiðarmerkurjökull.
