Trip difficulty 3+ out of 5 possible. Challenging
This tour combines two exciting activities, 8x8 truck ride and a hike up to the famous glacier Eyjafjallajökull. We pick you up in Reykjavík and drive along the south coast to the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. It is also possible to join the tour there. You board our specially equipped 8x8 truck, drive halfway up Eyjafjallajökull glacier and then we hike all the way to the top. There you will see the enormous crater left by the recent eruption and a great view over south Iceland. Your professional guide will provide glacier equipment and ensure your safety as you hike up the snow and ice on the glacier. After a break on the top we walk back down to the truck and drive to Reykjavík.
