Description

Explore one of Iceland's most amazing attractions with this exciting adventure into a spectacular Ice Cave in Vatnajokull National Park. Travelers looking to discover a natural wonder unlike anything else on Earth should not hesitate to book this tour!

This season, two main ice caves in the Vatnajokull glacier are open for exploration: the Western Ice Cave and the Eastern Ice Cave. On this exclusive Guide to Iceland tour, you'll visit the best available ice cave each day, carefully chosen based on weather and visibility conditions to guarantee the ultimate experience.

The light-blue walls of the Western Ice Cave create a magical atmosphere, making you feel as if you're walking inside a crystal diamond. Due to its location, the Western Ice Cave is also far less crowded, offering a more serene and exclusive adventure. It’s the perfect spot for capturing incredible photographs.

The Eastern Ice Cave is just as impressive. Though slightly darker inside, its massive size makes it one of the largest Ice Caves discovered in Vatnajokull glacier in recent years, offering a powerful reminder of nature's raw beauty.

Your trip begins at another one of Iceland’s most incredible destinations, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, a vast lake filled with icebergs. From the glacier lagoon car park, you will be picked up by an expert guide in a super jeep. Your destination is Breidamerkurjokull glacier, one of the tongues of the mighty Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe.

The monster truck ride from the glacier lagoon into the rugged nature of Vatnajokull National Park takes about 30 minutes. When you reach the glacier, you will take a short glacier walk before being picked up by a larger monster truck that will drive you for 10 minutes up the glacier where the Western Ice Cave is located. You’ll be dressed in the necessary safety gear before being led into this mystical new world.

After approximately 30 minutes of exploring one of Iceland's most iconic attractions, you'll hop back into the super jeep for a scenic journey back to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon.

Don't miss the chance to explore this stunning blue crystal Ice Cave during your adventure. Check availability now by selecting a date!
