Ice Cave Tour with Helicopter from Skaftafell

Explore one of Iceland's stunning glaciers from above and then discover a unique ice cave within the glacier when you book this unforgettable helicopter and ice-caving tour. Those eager to see some of Iceland's incredible natural sights should book this helicopter and ice-caving combination tour.

Your adventure starts when you arrive at Skaftafell Terminal. You'll meet your professional glacier guide, helicopter pilot, and others joining the tour. Your pilot will tell you more about the flight route and give you a thorough safety briefing.

It's time to take off once you've settled in the helicopter. Sit back and relax as your pilot tells you more about the sights you pass over. You'll enjoy a scenic helicopter ride over the Skeidararjokull glacier, an outlet glacier of the Vatnajokull ice cap, one of the biggest in Europe.

The Skeidararjokull glacier is known for its dynamic nature, continually advancing and retreating due to complex glacial processes. It's one of the glaciers being most profoundly impacted by global warming. Your guide can tell you about the impact of climate change on Iceland's landscape during the tour.

Remember to wrap up warm because, on this tour, you won't just be seeing the glacier from the outside but also going inside an ice cave. Bring layers of warm, waterproof clothing, a hat and gloves, and good hiking shoes.

The helicopter will land just a short walk from the entrance to the ice cave. The helicopter ride saves you from a tiring hike to the ice cave's entrance. Your guide will give you all of the safety equipment you need for the ice cave section of the tour, including a helmet, crampons, a harness, and an ice axe.

On entering the glacier tunnel, you'll follow the frozen corridor and admire the beautiful blue colors and the incredible ice formations. Ice caves are constantly changing due to the ice melting and reforming, so no two trips are the same.

While you explore, your professional glacier guide will share more information about the glacier's geology and formation. You'll have time to take gorgeous photos to commemorate your trip.

When your ice cave expedition is finished, you'll board the helicopter, and your pilot will take you back to Skaftafell Terminal. From here, you can continue your adventures in Iceland.
