Skaftafell Beyond The Limit - 6 hour Adventure｜Iceland

Explore the Falljökull glacier outlet of the Vatnajökull glacier on a guided tour from Hof. Learn how to use your gear and the safest way to walk on a glacial surface. See crevasses, deep cracks in the glacier's surface, and moulins—vertical shafts in the ice formed by melting water finding its way into fissures and cracks.

Meet your guide at Hof, where you will be provided with all the necessary gear – helmet, crampons, harness, and ice axe. Once geared up, begin your journey towards the glacier. After a short ride on the “Tröll Bus” and a brief walk to the glacier, your guide will explain how to use your gear and the safest way to walk on a glacial surface.

Falljökull is a glacier outlet from Vatnajökull, and its name translates to “The Falling Glacier.” The icefall in the area is quite rare on Earth, and the further you go, the more breathtaking the ice formations become. These include crevasses, deep cracks in the glacier's surface, and moulins—vertical shafts in the ice formed by melting water finding its way into fissures and cracks.

In wintertime, it is often possible to peek into small ice tunnels and capture the stunning blue heart of the ice. Spend about 4 hours on the glacier itself, with your guide leading you through the most thrilling and challenging parts of the glacier. Along the way, get the chance to use proper glacier equipment, including harnesses and ropes, to navigate more challenging terrain, enhancing your sense of adventure.
