Top East Iceland Day Trips

This demanding hiking tour offers a chance to explore an Icelandic glacier, inside and out. The challenging half-day tour takes you from Skaftafell National Park Base Camp to the Falljökull outlet glacier, a dramatic landscape of deep ice crevasses. A trek across the glacier tongue will lead you to a stunning natural ice cave that is only accessible with an experienced glacier guide.

Experience the chilling beauty of Iceland’s glaciers on this ice cave tour in Vatnajökull National Park. You’ll meet your guide at the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and travel by huge-wheeled super jeep out to the glacier. With crampons, ice axe, and other ice hiking equipment, you’ll make a 4-6 km trek across the glacier while exploring the mysterious crevices and ice caves of this sublime landscape.

The Laki Craters are famous for their beauty, but getting there is famously difficult. A guided Jeep tour makes it possible to see the craters safely, with all transportation provided by specialty Jeeps engineered for Iceland’s rugged environment. After a hike through the glaciers, continue on a second hike to the  Tjarnargígur pond crater, explore hidden waterfalls, and visit the beautiful Fjadrargljufur Canyon before returning to your Kirkjubæjarklaustur hotel.

With ancient volcanic craters and geothermal landscapes, Iceland boasts some of the world’s most impressive natural scenery—but the only way to truly appreciate the views is from the air.

Soar high over the Vatnajökull National Park, and gaze over natural attractions including the Grænalón glacial lake, Skeiðarárjökull glacier, and the volcanic fissures of Lakagígar.
