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.

  1. 1Sleipnir Tours 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Solheimajokull Glacier Guided Hiking Small Group Tour from Nordur Travel Services ehf is €85 — €79 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

Sleipnir Tours · €164Nordur Travel Services ehf · €85
How long it runs4 hours3 hours

The €79 buys you 1 more hour out. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

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 4 cannot join this one.
  • Not available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    Just had an amazing day with Kimberly our tour guide for the glacier monster truck experience. Just so beautiful and quiet and bloody freezing cold 🥶🤣 the view is outstanding and emotional. The glacier caves is something else you have to see and touch, feel and take as many photos as you can. The truck is huge but you're in good hands with an experienced driver and guide. Thank you so much for a fantastic day Kimberly ❤️❤️❤️

    I had an amazing experience with Sleipnir Iceland on the Langjökull Glacier (Sandvatn area) tour. Everything was perfectly organized, the staff were genuinely warm, friendly, and professional, and they made the whole adventure both fun and safe. A big thank you to the entire Sleipnir Iceland team—I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!

    An unforgettable experience! Going up the Langjökull glacier with Sleipnir Tours was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. The monster truck is absolutely massive, super comfortable, and watching it drive over the ice is impressive. The views from the panoramic windows are out of this world. The guides were professional, fun, and made us feel safe the whole time. 10/10 recommended!

    Took the glacier and ice cave tour in mid February and it's incredible. Hard to miss them at the meet up location then a 1 hour ride out to the glacier. Plenty of time on the glacier and on the caves to take pictures and enjoy. Friendly crew that fills the ride with stories and information. Sleds were provided to have some extra fun. Crampons provided as well for the caves.

Glacier hiking — questions people ask

Which glacier is best for a first glacier hike?

Sólheimajökull on the South Coast, about two and a half hours from Reykjavík. It is the most accessible glacier tongue, the walk from the car park is short and the three-to-four-hour tours (/experience/6853/ or /experience/914990/) suit beginners. Skaftafell in the southeast has bigger ice and fewer people, with tours like Glacier Wonders (/experience/17340/), but it is a five-hour drive each way, so it only works if you are staying out there.

Can you hike on a glacier in Iceland in summer?

Yes. Glacier hiking runs all year. In June to August the ice is grey and gritty on the surface with blue crevasses and meltwater channels, and the weather is milder. In November to March the ice is whiter and you may see ice formations, but daylight is short and the wind bites. Neither is better; summer is easier, winter is prettier. The one thing you cannot do in summer is visit a natural blue ice cave.

How fit do I need to be for a glacier hike?

Moderately. You walk two to three hours on uneven ice in crampons, with some short steep sections. Anyone who can manage a hilly day walk will be fine; the pace is slow because the guide is checking the route. It is not for anyone with knee or balance problems, and most operators set a minimum age of eight to ten. Check the tour page. Longer tours like Glacier Explorer (/experience/17338/) push further onto the ice and need more stamina.

What do I need to bring on a glacier hike?

Sturdy boots with ankle support, waterproof jacket and trousers, warm layers, gloves and a hat, plus water and a snack. The operator provides crampons, a harness, a helmet and an ice axe. Jeans and trainers are not allowed on the ice, and guides do turn people away. Most meeting points rent boots and rain gear for a small fee; check the tour page and book them in advance in summer.
