ZODIAC AND EXPLORATION TOUR

Super-jeep • Zodiac Boat • Glacier Walk

Join us on an adventure tour, where we explore the highlights of Iceland’s glaciers. Sail around floating icebergs and the hike of a lifetime in one of Iceland’s most breathtaking glacial landscapes. On the Zodiac tour, cover large areas of the Glacier Lagoon and get close to the icebergs. Let your guide lead you through a breathtaking glacier walk, exploring the glacial landscapes of Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier. Equipped with all safety equipment needed for this combo tour. Join the team at Ice Explorers and Glacier Lagoon for the tour of the summer. Reach places most people never will!

THE TOUR

This combo tour includes a 40-minute super jeep ride to the glacier, 2 hours of exploring the glacier on foot, and a 40-minute ride back to the Glacier Lagoon. Once you arrive back at the Glacier Lagoon you will have a minimum of 30-45 minute break before the next activity begins, the Zodiac boat tour.
The activity can also start with the zodiac boat tour followed by a glacier walk. Whatever option you choose, there will always be a little break between activities, so you can go to the bathroom and have a little lunch. The activities occur at the Glacier Lagoon and the meeting point for both activities is less than 10 meters apart.
On the Ice Exploration tour, you will spend around 2 hours hiking on Breiðamerkurjökull with one of our experienced guides.
It is highly advisable to take a camera, or at least a phone, to capture the amazing moments, because it will not be long before the glacial formations change or even disappear as they normally do.
