Glacier Techniques is our most adventurous private glacier tour for those looking for both a challenge and a unique experience in Iceland.

This tour is for the more adventurous, looking for a day out for ice hiking, ice climbing and learning about rope work and safety techniques for glacier travel.

We scout out the best routes to ensure a day of fun and of course a little hard work. As this is a private tour both the guide and how we spend the time on the glacier are entirely at your disposal, we tailor the tour completely to you!

No previous climbing or glacier experience is required. At the end of the trip you should have a better understanding of glaciers in Iceland, some of the geological and historical features, ice climbing techniques, rope safety and perhaps a spot of fatigue.
