Grab the rare opportunity to walk across a glacier, without the logistical headaches, with a small-group Sólheimajökull glacier hiking tour from Vík. With all technical equipment provided and a guide leading the route, you don’t have to worry about navigating crevasses or assessing constantly changing ice conditions safety. Instead, focus on the striking blue ice formations and volcanic ash layers under your feet.

Go off the beaten path and into an ice cave on this small-group tour. In a Super Jeep, travel to a spectacular ice cave inside Kötlujökull an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull Glacier, underneath which the mighty volcano Katla is located. All necessary equipment is included.

What makes this tour special is the chance to experience Iceland’s dramatic landscapes from the saddle of a traditional Icelandic horse. Ride across the striking volcanic black sands of South Iceland, with sweeping views toward the Westman Islands and Eyjafjallajökull glacier-volcano. Icelandic horses are known for their gentle temperament, sure-footedness and uniquely smooth gait, making the experience memorable for both first-time and experienced riders. Horses are matched to each rider’s experience level, allowing you to relax and take in the wild coastline, open landscapes and ocean views at a comfortable pace. Rather than simply visiting Iceland’s famous black sand scenery, you get to experience it on horseback — combining Icelandic nature, culture and one of the country’s most beloved animals in one unforgettable ride.
