About this experience
Sólheimajökull: Una aventura helada te espera. Punto de encuentro en el lugar
Al llegar a la cima del glaciar, recibirás una sorpresa de parte del guía que te llenará de alegría y la celebrarás con todos en el glaciar.
Embárcate en una aventura inolvidable en el glaciar Sólheimajökull, un majestuoso glaciar de salida del imponente manto glaciar de Mýrdalsjökull, el cuarto glaciar más grande de Islandia. Te espera un paraíso en constante evolución del hielo azul, grietas profundas y crestas escarpadas.
El glaciar Sólheimajökull tiene el acceso más fácil para llegar al hielo glaciar. Esto lo hace más accesible que otros glaciares islandeses. Esto ofrece una oportunidad única para explorar uno de los glaciares más impresionantes de Islandia, perfecto para los aventureros al aire libre.
El punto de encuentro es fácil de localizar y a solo un rápido desvío de la carretera de circunvalación en la Costa Sur.
Te encontrarás con tu experimentado Guía Glaciar en el estacionamiento de Sólheimajökull. Esta excursión es perfecta para los que recorren la Costa Sur de Islandia y desean un encuentro cercano con la naturaleza sin comprometerse con día completo.
De la mano de un guía experto certificado aprenderá sobre las formaciones glaciares durante su caminata hacia esta impresionante salida del glaciar Mýrdalsjökull. Disfrute explorando impresionantes grietas, crestas de hielo y molinos glaciares en esta aventura de 3.5 horas. Una sorpresa del guía te espera al llegar a la cima del glaciar.
Se proporciona todo el material para el glaciar, lo que hace que esta caminata sea placentera para unas 3.5 horas en total. Su guía le proporcionará crampones, arneses, cascos y un piolet de hielo a su llegada.
Esta caminata por el glaciar promete una aventura emocionante y educativa en uno de los escenarios naturales más espectaculares de Islandia.
Por favor, no olvide usar ropa de senderismo y botas de montaña con soporte para el tobillo (disponibles para alquilar en el lugar). El clima en el glaciar puede ser impredecible, por lo que es fundamental vestirse en capas y traer chaquetas y pantalones impermeables.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is high wind or rain on the ice — the guide decides at the meeting point, sometimes after you have set off. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Icecube ehf decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Children under 8 cannot join this one.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
Why we list it
Icecube ehf is one of 204 operators we work with — chosen for reliability, honest descriptions and how they treat guests when weather changes plans. We don't list everything; we list what we'd book ourselves. The six checks every operator passes →
Read before you book
- Best Glacier Hike in Iceland (2026): 5 PicksThe glacier hikes we would book ourselves in Iceland, on Sólheimajökull and in Skaftafell, with real adult prices, departure points and who each one is not for.
- Glacier hike in Iceland: which glacier to bookThree glaciers sell almost the same walk at different prices and distances. Which one fits your route, what 'easy' means, and what blue ice really requires.
- Glacier hike or ice cave: which to bookBetween October and April, book the Skaftafell hike-and-cave combo and get both. The rest of the year, a glacier hike on Sólheimajökull is the better day.

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask
Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?
It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.
Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?
Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.
What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?
The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.
Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?
Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
