What to expect

Enjoy a 4-hour glacier walk tour on the majestic Falljökull, accompanied by an experienced and certified glacier guide.

This half-day tour is for those who want to get the full glacier experience and go farther onto the ice field than the typical glacier tour. This is a moderate glacier tour in the majestic surroundings of Falljökull. The glacier is hemmed in by some of Iceland´s most spectacular peaks.

The tour begins in Skaftafell Nature Reserve, where you will meet your guide for the day. Once there, you start climing up the Falljökull glacier tongue, traversing through a labyrinth of deep crevasses, ice ridges and ice formations you cannot find anywhere else.

The glacial landscape is constantly evolving, so you never know what to expect, but if you're lucky you might find some ice tunnels or caves to explore.

The full tour takes about 4 hours and you will spend roughly 4 hours on the ice.

TUI Southern Iceland Tour

If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
