If you go to Iceland you have to try out ice climbing on a glacier. We try to find three different areas climb on. We start with an easy ice wall to teach you basic skills to ice climb. After that we try to make each climb little bit harder or longer. You don’t have to know anything about climbing or be super fit to do this tour, this is a introduction tour so you don’t have to be afraid to try this out. Our guides will also show you the wonders of the glacier, such as crevasses and moulins. This is perfect tour to see the glacier and try out some ice climbing with a local guide.

Exploring the glacier with a local guide is something you have to try. We have small groups to give you personal and a good service.
