About this tour

Your personal photographer and glacier guide will lead you onto one of Iceland’s most scenic outlet glaciers. As you immerse yourself in the blue ice, your guide will take professional photos of you to capture the most special moments of your tour. We will explore an Ice Cave formed during the summer months as the glacier melts. Throughout the hike, you will learn about the history of Vatnajokull Glacier and how the ice works in nature. After the tour ends, we will professionally edit your photos and email them to you up to 14 days later via a downloadable drive. These photos will be the perfect souvenir and memory of your adventure in Iceland!

Optional: Pickup/Drop-off out of Reykjavik is available for an additional 225,000 ISK per group and would automatically make it a private tour.
