Description

Get ready to experience the adventure of a lifetime as you explore the largest artificial ice cave in the world on this ice-caving tour of the Langjokull glacier. This tour is perfect for those wanting to know what it's like to walk inside a glacier and participate in an exciting glacial activity.

Your adventure starts at the BSI Bus Terminal in Reykjavik City, where you'll board a bus with an expert guide and drive to the Husafell area, a beautiful farm and church estate in West Iceland.

On your way to the sprawling Husafell estate, you'll stop at two spectacular sites where you can experience much of this Icelandic trip.

First, you'll marvel at the unstoppable raw power of Deildartunguhver hot spring, the highest-flowing hot spring in Europe. Remember to keep your distance and stick to the wooden walkways and designated observation points while exploring the spring.

Next, you'll make your way to the spectacular Hraunfossar lava waterfalls, located just about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from Deildartunguhver hot spring. Here you'll witness the waters cascading splendidly over the Hallmundarhraun lava field. You'll also get a glimpse of the Langjokull glacier from this point.

After admiring such fantastic beauty and taking dozens of photos with the Hraunfossar lava waterfalls, you'll return to your bus and continue your way to Husafell, where you'll take your delicious lunch. 

Husafell is a camping site where an old farmhouse from 1904 has been transformed into a hotel. This place is now an oasis for travelers looking for a nice place to rest and eat. The beautiful area will also serve as your starting point for your Langjokull escapade.

From here, you'll board a specially modified glacier vehicle that will take you to the top of Langjokull glacier, Iceland's second-largest ice cap, and inside the world's most enormous man-made ice cave known as "Into the Glacier."

The journey is spectacular, as you will be surrounded by icy terrain and can marvel over beautiful landscapes from your elevation.

Once you have arrived, your tour guide will take you inside the tunnel to explore the enchanting world under the ice.

You'll be awed by the magnificent formations and the ethereal blue colors. There are plenty of corridors and chambers to wander down, and your guide will even show you to the chapel.

The engineering behind the ice cave is amazing. Nowhere else on earth is such a unique place open to the public.

Take as many photos as possible to capture this surreal moment and appreciate the beauty and importance of these ice giants before boarding the glacier vehicle again and returning to Husafell, where you'll ride the bus back to Reykjavik.

Don't miss this chance to experience the magical world beneath the ice and fall in love with the breathtaking beauty of Langjokull glacier. Check availability now by choosing a date.
