Vatnajokull: Advanced Glacier Expedition Tickets
Choose your experience
The Vatnajokull Advanced Glacier Expedition is a guided full-day tour departing from Reykjavik to Vatnajokull, Europe's largest glacier by volume, covering roughly 8 percent of Iceland's total land area. The expedition is designed for participants with prior glacier experience and involves technical ice climbing, crevasse navigation, and rope team travel across the glacier's upper terrain.
Guides provide crampons, ice axes, and harnesses, and the route covers heavily fractured ice formations, moulins, and exposed ridgelines not accessible on standard glacier walks. Participants should expect a high level of physical exertion and variable weather conditions. Tickets cover guiding, technical equipment hire, and transport from Reykjavik to the glacier access point and back.
