For this Summer Zip Line + Glacier Hike tour, you will meet your guide at the Glacier Lagoon parking lot in Vatnajokull National Park. The official address for this location is: í Hornafirði, Jökulsárlón, Glacier Lagoon, 781 Höfn or you can simply type in "Ice Pic Journeys" in Google Maps and we will come up. Your guide will be right across from the restrooms in the bus parking lot. You can look for the "Ice Pic Journeys" logo on our 4×4 vehicle amongst the other companies. Departure will be precisely at the scheduled time so it is important to arrive on time or you may miss the tour.
  
Tips:
* It is best to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tour so you can use the restrooms since there will be none at the glacier.
* It is important to be aware that this is a 5-hour drive from Reykjavik so it is always recommended to stay at an accommodation closer to this meeting point.
* The tour offers additional services such as pickup/drop-off out of Reykjavik, additional photos, and rental of hiking boots. For details and pricing, please contact our customer service.
* All photographs taken from the tour will be processed by a professional editor after the tour. Processing time will take an average of 14 days. This is just an average and it could take slightly less or even a few more days. This is because we amass hundreds of photos per day/thousands per week and are working to make sure every one of our guests gets the best photos possible.  Once completed, your photos will be uploaded into a downloadable gallery. There you can access them to download and even order your favorite print too!
* Editor selects and edits the photo package based on what we feel are the best shots from the day. If additional photos are available outside of the package count they may be available for 1,000 ISK per but not guaranteed.
* Also be aware that if there is a request to have specific photos from the day, advance notice via email is required before the editing process begins.
  
The adventure begins for this Summer Zip Line + Glacier Hike Tour from the Glacier Lagoon parking lot.  There, you will hop aboard one of our 4×4 vehicles and head towards the glacier. About 10 minutes into your journey, you will turn off onto an F-Road and make the bumpy journey toward the glacier. From the road to the glacier parking lot, this will take roughly 20-30 minutes to reach. As you drive, your guide will teach you the history of the surrounding area as you enjoy a scenic ride through an ancient glacier plain.
Once you arrive at the glacier parking lot, your guide will begin handing out your gear for the Summer Zip Line + Glacier Hike. This includes crampons, an ice axe, a harness, a helmet with a headlamp, and hiking boots if you rent them. Once everyone has their gear, you will take a 30-minute hike to the edge of the glacier. The hike is relatively easy for most and will have you walking on flat, yet slightly rocky ground the entire way. We will always go at the pace of our guests so you can take your time and enjoy the walk as your guide leads the way.
  
Upon arriving at the edge of the glacier, you will put your crampons into the ice and make your way onto Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier. Hiking on the ice is definitely a unique feeling and may take some getting used to but by the end of the tour, you won’t want to take your crampons off! As you hear the crunch below you, you will march forward and follow your guide up the glacier toward the direction of the moulin where you will jump on the zip line. Throughout this, your guide will show you different formations on the glacier known as moulins or deep glacial holes. All while admiring the barren landscape around you, you will feel like you are in a different world.
  
After making your epic jumps on the zip line, you will head back up the slope and off the glacier knowing that you are one of the few who got to experience something so special here in Iceland.  High Five to you having this incredible Summer Zip Line + Ice Cave Journey!
You will finish the tour with a hike back to the glacier parking lot and a 30-minute drive back to the Glacier Lagoon where you will say goodbye to your guide and have memories of an amazing day inside of Vatnajokull National Park.
