This ideal family tour offers a boat trip over the glacier lake (complete with floating icebergs) before getting to the glacier. A walk on the glacier is sure to amaze, which huge crevasses and amazing views off the front of the glacier, creating lasting memories for the whole family.
We begin the tour with 15-minute boat trip over Styggevatnet (lake) to Austdalsbreen (glacier), driving around icebergs and then up to the glacier front, with its 30 metre high terminal that descends into the lake from the Jostedalsbreen Icecap above. Towers of ice calving into the lake from the glacier front will entertain us as we reach this most remote and untouched area. Once the boat is safely anchored, we walk up to the front of the glacier for an unforgettable glacier hike in this Norwegian wilderness, lasting 1,5 – 2 hours. Austdalsbreen (glacier) is very easy to walk on, but it is what we see while walking on the glacier that is truly amazing. Walking amongst the myriad crevasses across the front of the glacier and standing atop this natural wonder will complete the experience and give you memories to last a lifetime. We have designed this tour for folks that are less able and young families, so don’t hesitate to book this unique experience.
We sell coffees and warm/waterproof clothing if you'd like to come a bit earlier.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to follow the guide in your own vehicle from the meeting point to the glacier. Please be sure that you have enough fuel/charge to get to the glacier.
