2.Small-Group Vatnajökull Glacier Hike (Moderate)

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 327 reviews · 5 hours · from $170Best value

Review of Arctic Adventures’ moderate Vatnajökull glacier hike, with Falljökull icefall, crampons, guides, costs, fitness tips, and practical advice.

“The glacier hike was a lot of fun! Our guide Lucy was great, she took the time to get to know the group and had a lot of great information about the glacier. The day lasted about 7.5 hours, and the hike itself was pretty easy if you are a regular hiker who is used to uneven terrain. Crampons were new to me but they were very easy to get the hang of.”
