Ice Tour
Glacier Exploring in southeast Iceland

Our lead guide Einar Rúnar Sigurðsson (born 1968) has been offering glacier hiking trips in southeast Iceland since spring 1994 so he is the oldest (in working years) mountain guide of Iceland. He will be your guide on this tour.


The tour is offered in winter months only. We will be driving and then hiking through area that was until recently covered by glaciers and once on the glacier we will be exploring glacier forms and enjoy hiking through landscape that is best described being something between land and sea.​

​​​​

If you prefer a private tour send us an email to info@fromcoasttomountains.is and let us know the day you want to do the tour and how many you are. There is space for 1-6 passengers in our Land Rover Defender, the 4wd we use to go to the glacier.

For a private tour we will confirm availability via email. You can also let us know in that email if you would prefer to focus on explore more area of the glacier, with longer hike, or opt for a shorter walk, but including ice climbing lessons in some steep glacier walls. This is done with full safety on top rope, and Einar can choose the climbing locations depending on your experience (or non experience).
