Testimonials

From Aspire

We are home now and still in awe over our South Shore Jeep Tour by Gummie Glacier! We travel alot and this was one of the top five things we did next to the Eiffel Tower and Rome. The tour guide made the difference. He knew all about Iceland, answered questions, provided lots of good information, gave us plenty of time at our tour spots and provided an unforgettable tour of the South Shore of Iceland. I would recommend anyone to book the Super Jeep South Shore tour - fabulous with black sand beaches, caves and walking behind the waterfall. Skip Reykjavik Excursions - they don't stop long enough. One tour we booked with them they stopped again at the waterfall you walk behind - we were there with our Arctic tour guide - they only allowed 10 minutes! No one walked behind it the entire point of going there. Thanks to Gummie for the best memories!

Blue Ice - School Edition, Glacier Hike and Ice Climbing Tour in Iceland

School Edition
Glacier Hiking & Ice Climbing Tour at Sólheimajökull in Iceland
Trip difficulty ranges from 2 - 3 out of 5 possible

Here is your chance to visit a glacier and not just any glacier, this trip will take you to the frozen glacial tongue that is Sólheimajökull. It is a magnificent phenomenon, a rugged, raw and ever changing hub of ancient frozen water. We will explore the crevasse riddled outlet glacier with its amazing ice formations, sink holes and jagged ridges accompanied by an experienced glacier guide. Along the way we will find an ice wall on the glacier and try our hand at ice climbing. We will provide you with all the tools you need: ice axes, crampons and safety lines, making sure you are very safe as you brave the heights. As we drive back to Reykjavik we will stop at the beautiful Skógafoss waterfall.

On this trip you get to see and do what most of the population will only dream about and very few ever try. Why not be adventurous and explore the amazing crawling glacier?

The Blue Ice can be added to our 5 day multi adventure trip and is included on our bestselling weekend trip. Both trips offer great adventures for an unbeatable price.
