Grant & Holly MichaelsIceland Travel Guide

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at the foot of Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. From our base camp in Skaftafell, you'll be geared up and guided onto the ice for a truly Icelandic experience. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly glacier walk to explore the surreal blue ice formations and deep crevasses, or a more challenging ice-climbing excursion, there's a tour for you. The meeting point is conveniently located at the Skaftafell Visitor Centre car park, from where you'll be transported to the glacier's edge to begin your journey.
