Private Solheimajokull Glacier hike: Our company is a small family owned operator with huge heart which creates high quality experiences for tourists. We specialise in private tours & glacier tours, where the guests get to taste things and visit places they would usually not do except with a local guide. Reykjavik Outventure’s team consists of experienced local guides who are here to make your days the best possible.
Picked up by your guide from your accommodation in the Reykjavik Capital Area. You can choose which time suits you best to start the tour. This tour takes about 8 hours, so in the summer time, it doesn´t really matter when you start the tour because of the 24 hours of daylight. In winter, it is better to start the tour early due to short days.
First, your private guide will drive you from Reykjavik to the South Coast of Iceland, where Solheimajokull glacier and Katla volcano are located. You’ll start with a glacier hike on Solheimajokull, an outlet glacier, or a glacial tongue, extending from Iceland’s fourth largest glacier, the ice cap Myrdalsjokull glacier. During your hike, you will notice the blue hued ice is covered in black, which you may at first think is just sand, but is actually volcanic ash from the 1918 eruption of Katla volcano! Which is your next stop, exploring the Katla Ice Cave. Your private guide will then lead you to another part of Myrdalsjokull glacier, as the Katla volcano lies partially hidden beneath it!
There it lurks, waiting to erupt every 100 years, and as mentioned above, it last erupted in 1918 so it’s now due any time! If you haven’t already, we highly recommend you watch the new Icelandic dark series Katla on Netflix!
For both the glacier hike and ice cave, we provide you with all the glacier gear needed; crampons, an ice axe, a harness, and a helmet. All you need to bring are waterproof and warm clothes, and your smile.
