Arctic Adventures is a leading Icelandic tour operator with over 40 years of experience and trusted by 1 million travelers annually. The company specialises in unforgettable nature-driven experiences.

With Crevasse Labyrinth: A Glacier Maze in Skaftafell, Arctic Adventures is now launching a brand-new glacier hike that takes travelers into the heart of Vatnajökull’s icy corridors. This exclusive experience, open year-round, gives small groups the chance to discover a side of the glacier few ever see—an enchanting maze of crevasses and glowing blue ice passages.

Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe and has some of the most dramatic outlets. This new tour ventures into the Crevasse Track, a path scouted by Arctic Adventures’ experts to showcase the glacier’s natural formations—twisting cracks, narrow corridors, and deep crevasses shaped by centuries of shifting ice. It’s a safe and accessible way to step into a frozen world that feels almost otherworldly.

What to Expect on the Crevasse Labyrinth Tour

• Exclusive Trail Access – Walk the Crevasse Track, a route known only to our local guides.
• Immersive Ice Experience – Wander through surreal blue ice passages and towering frozen walls.
• Beginner-Friendly Glacier Hike – Designed for all levels, with safety gear and expert guidance included.
• Small Group Size – Limited group numbers for a more personal and immersive experience.
• Year-Round Departures – Explore the glacier in every season, with departures from the Skaftafell area.

The tour begins at the Arctic Adventures Booking Center in Skaftafell, where guests receive all necessary gear—crampons, ice axes, helmets, and guidance on how to stay safe and comfortable. The hike itself lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours on the ice, with plenty of time for photography, glacier insights, and awe.

Vatnajökull National Park trails are popular, but this glacier maze is a hidden gem—exclusive to Arctic Adventures. Tours are available year-round, and advance booking is strongly recommended.
