Description

Experience an adventure of a lifetime as you discover one of Iceland's most unique attractions on this ice-caving tour of Vatnajokull glacier. This tour is perfect for those wanting an in-depth experience of walking inside a glacier cave and participating in an exciting activity. 

Before starting on this adventure, make sure to wear warm, waterproof clothing and good hiking shoes. Wearing the right clothes will help you keep warm and enjoy the trek around the ice cave. 

The fun begins when a super jeep picks you up at Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, a massive lake filled with beautiful icebergs on the South Coast. You will meet your guide, who will escort you to the base of Vatnajokull glacier. Take in the fantastic view of the terrain as you travel to the location.

Vatnajokull glacier is not only the largest glacier in Iceland but in all of Europe. It covers eight percent of Iceland's landmass. This glacier can be found in southwest Iceland and is the main feature of Vatnajokull National Park. 

After a 30-minute jeep ride to the base of the attraction, travelers will take a roughly 20-minute walk before reaching the edge of the ice cap. The expert guide will help you gear up for safety as you arrive at the entrance and explore the crystal blue ice cave's ever-changing landscapes and formations. 

The ice caves are only visible between October and March and can only be found in a few places worldwide, making this experience even more special. 

Spend an hour or more on tour, exploring the fantastic turquoise colors and unique patterns created by nature. This tour is an excellent opportunity to explore the beautiful, super rare blue ice cave, with its vivid colors and chambers.

You can take plenty of photos as you explore, and your guide will be happy to get some snaps of your group. They can also answer your questions about how ice caves form and why they are so rare.

This tour offers a one-of-a-kind chance to see these majestic natural phenomena in person. You will never forget this surreal experience, so be present and appreciate the beauty and importance of these ice features before boarding the glacier vehicle again and heading to Jokulsarlon.

Take advantage of this opportunity to experience the magical world beneath the ice and capture the breathtaking beauty of the Vatnajokull glacier. Check availability now by choosing a date.
