Your tour beings at the Jokulsarlon cafeteria, where you will meet your experienced, friendly guide. A ratio of two guides to a maximum of fifteen guests ensures a personal experience, and when everyone is ready to go, it's time to set off on your adventure.
Today's destination is an ice cave in the Breidamerkurjokull glacier. Breidamerkurjokull is an outlet glacier known for its ice caves and is part of the immense Vatnajokull glacier. You'll drive offroad along the glacier in a comfortable super jeep, taking in the breathtaking landscape. A clear day will reward you with fantastic views.

Ice caving is only possible to do safely in the depths of winter, and the cave is checked for safety before you arrive. All you need to do is marvel at the unique beauty of the cave, a magnificent sight to behold.
You'll make at least two stops during your 40-minute cave tour, allowing you to appreciate the diversity of this natural wonder. In some places, the ice will appear blue or green, and in others, it might look black. The ice formations are just as spectacular, from perfectly arranged icicles to silky smooth walls.
Throughout the tour, your guide will share information about the ice caves, glaciers, volcanoes, and local culture. You'll learn how the caves are created and can ask the guide any questions. After your ice-cave visit, you'll return to the super jeep to enjoy the journey back to Jokulsarlon.
