What you can expect

Go canyoning right next to the Vatnajökull Glacier on a half-day adventure with Ice Guardians. Jump, slide, and abseil/rappel down a canyon full of waterfalls and blue pools. For adventurous souls only on this wet and wild experience!

Meet your guides on location at a campground (here's where we'll return too). Get geared up with quality equipment and be briefed on safety. Walk through the rows of trees planted by locals of the Forestry Association of Austur-Skaftafellinga.

Along the way, see what it would’ve been like to be a farmer at the foot of Europe’s largest ice cap, Vatnajökull. Maybe we'll even pick some blueberries, see wild reindeer or walk beside friendly local sheep having a graze.

We'll have a brief training session to practice the techniques required to get down the canyon safely. We want to teach you how to rappel on a rope and be involved in your descent.

Embrace the elements by jumping and sliding, and abseiling/rappelling down a canyon full of waterfalls and blue pools. All this right on the cusp of Europe's largest glacier and national park, the mighty Vatnajökull Ice Cap.
