Description
Immerse yourself in an unforgettable journey through two magnificent locations with the hike and boat trip at Falljökull and Fjallsjökull glaciers. Experience the stunning beauty as you traverse a glacier tongue and venture into the wonders of Vatnajökull National Park.
Falljökull & Fjallsjökull Glaciers Hike & Boat Trip
Join us for an exhilarating day featuring the exploration of two distinct glaciers! We will convene at Skaftafell at the scheduled time, preparing for the first leg of our adventure—a hike on the Falljökull Glacier.
After equipping ourselves with the necessary hiking gear, we will begin our walk along the glacier tongue. Over the next three hours, we will delve into the stunning landscapes of Vatnajökull National Park, taking in the spectacular views of Falljökull adorned with ice formations, crevasses, and crystalline pools.
During our trek, we will reveal some of the glacier’s hidden treasures. These include its mysterious lava fields, secret peaks, lesser-known waterfalls, and surrounding fjords.
Following our hike, we will transition from crampons to a small motorboat for a scenic cruise on the lake beneath the Fjallsjökull Glacier. Please note that travel in your own vehicle is required to reach the dock. Our time aboard the zodiac, lasting approximately one hour and thirty minutes, will showcase the stunning icebergs of the lake while you hear the intriguing sounds of cracking ice amidst the serene surroundings.
After concluding our boat excursion around the Fjallsjökull Glacier, we will return to the starting point, bidding farewell after an engaging five hours filled with adventure.
