Vatnajökull + Skalafellsjökull Glacier Offroad Tour
Tour Details
At the time indicated, we'll meet at base camp, about 46 km (28 miles) from Höfn, and from here, we'll start our offroad tour of the Vatnajökull and Skalafellsjökull glaciers.
Once we're all settled in our seats, we'll start our route through the mountains in the region. Along the way, we'll admire some of the highest points in Iceland as we scale Skalafellsjökull and Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. How majestic!
We'll travel up the Vatnajökull glacier, ascending up to 1000 metres (3,280 feet) above sea level. During the tour, we'll also make another stop to take photos.
Additionally, the guide will tell you lots of fascinating facts about the glaciers and their ice fields, highlighting their impact on the environment.
After 3 hours, we'll return to the meeting point and end this 4x4 tour.
