Ice Cave & Glacier Exploration Tour

Ever dreamed of riding in a custom-built super-jeep and exploring the glacier’s breathtaking landscapes? Ready to spend the day hiking and discovering some of Iceland’s most stunning natural wonders? Join our most extensive and top-rated adventure, the Ice Cave and Glacier Exploration Tour!

THE TOUR

Embark on the Ice Cave Exploration Tour and spend 5-6 hours with one of our experienced guides as you hike Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of the renowned Vatnajökull. This glacier is also famous for its breathtaking views over the Glacier Lagoon. Throughout the tour, your guide will share insights into the area’s natural wonders and provide a glimpse into Icelandic culture.

As you explore, you’ll witness the glacier’s stunning landscapes, including crevasses, moulins, and deep ice caves. Rated as a Medium-difficulty tour, the hike covers approximately 4-6 km, depending on the group’s pace and conditions. Before stepping onto the glacier, your guide will equip you with all the necessary safety gear and ensure you’re well-prepared for the adventure. This experience primarily consists of visits to various ice formations, a glacier walk, and an ice cave, allowing you to discover the glacier’s unique formations up close.

It is highly advisable to take a camera, or at least a phone, to capture the amazing moments because it will not be long before the glacial formations change or even disappear as they normally do.

WHICH ICE CAVE DO WE VISIT

Since this is our most in-depth tour and we have more time to explore, we always try to choose the most beautiful locations and ice caves to visit. Keep in mind that from season to season, even within the season, the ice caves change, old ones disappear, and new ones form. The ice caves we visit, therefore, change, but we always take our clients to the best ice caves of the season.
