Join the exciting 3-hour tour to explore the stunning Falljökull outlet glacier from Vatnajokull. The tour starts at Freysnes Service Station, just 2 minutes from Skaftafell National Park, for easy access to this breathtaking natural wonder.

To make the most of your time on the glacier, you'll travel in a super jeep, saving your energy and giving you more time to enjoy the icy landscape. With crampons and ice axes, you'll venture onto the glacier's edge, discovering its fascinating features.

An expert guide will share interesting information about the Öræfi region, which is home to Iceland's highest peak and several volcanoes.
