Things to do in Sólheimajökull

I took three day trips from Reykjavik and it is my favorite one. You will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic sights in Iceland, such as Skogarfoss and Reynisfjara Beach. Highly recommended!

Skógafoss & Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls 🌈 Freezing cold, howling wind, and pouring rain. Witnessed the natural beauty of light refraction. Caught a rainbow at both! 🌈 ReynisfjaraBlackSandBeach The conditions at Reynisfjara were awful, and despite keeping my distance, I actually got dragged in by a sneaker wave. In that exact moment, I thought, 'If I die right now, at least my family gets 12 million in insurance.' #CloseUpGlacier Looking closely at the glacier, it's far from the ordinary white I know. Instead, it's a natural white with light refractions, mesmerizing from every single angle.🌟 #

Our tour guide, Swede (I’m not entirely sure about the spelling, but we took the tour on October 13th, 2026), was fantastic! He is truly kind and passionate about his work. His time management was excellent, and he arranged the itinerary extremely well. Only two of us joined the DC Plane Wreck tour while the others went glacier hiking. Instead of leaving us to wait around while the others hiked, he took us to explore some beautiful surrounding spots. This thoughtful arrangement gave us an incredible bonus experience. On top of that, he made us feel completely reassured—he informed the plane wreck shuttle driver about us and promised to pick us up right on time. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this tour guide!

Overall, the tour was good. However, it would be even better if the walk on the gravel to the glacier could be shorter, as we noticed that some other tours were able to park much closer to the glacier.

A great experience (particularly the ice climbing) and well organised day. The guide for the ice climbing, Steven, was knowledgable, safety concious and thorough in his explanations that gave me the confidence to push myself into some incredible situations on the glacier. Were it not for his professionalism and attention to detail, I doubt I would have had the same experience. Highly recommend this for an adventure seeking day up close to the glacier, especially if Steven is at the helm!
