Description

Ride up Langjokull Glacier, the second-largest glacier in Iceland, in a modified glacier vehicle and walk through the ice tunnels inside it on this family-friendly tour from Klaki Base Camp.

You drive yourself to Klaki Base Camp in West Iceland.

At the base camp, you board a specially modified glacier vehicle and drive up the white slopes onto the ice cap, with views across the glacier on the way.

Your English-speaking guide leads you through the tunnels for about an hour, explaining the basics of how glaciers form and change. Inside, you can see ice that is more than 1,000 years old.

The tunnels in Langjokull are the only ice tunnels in the world that you can visit all year. Their appearance can vary as work on the tunnels continues.

After the tunnel tour, the glacier vehicle takes you back down to the base camp.

Good to know

The tour lasts 3 to 4 hours and may take longer depending on conditions on the glacier.

Klaki Base Camp is reached via Road 550, a rough gravel mountain road suitable only for 4x4 vehicles, so make sure your rental car is allowed on F-roads.

Road 550 is closed from October until June. If you don't have a 4x4 vehicle, or you travel outside the summer, choose the tour from Husafell instead.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour starts. If you arrive late, you may miss the briefing and be unable to join.

Raincoats and overshoes are provided at check-in if you need them.

Dress warmly, even in summer, as it's cold on the glacier.

Bring sunglasses, as the glacier reflects a lot of sunlight.

The itinerary and mode of transportation may change because of weather or road conditions.

We love this tour!! The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. The ride up the glacial is BAD ASS!! if I could I would have taken that truck back home with me! Lol the view is spectacular and the interior of the glacial is breathtaking.

Emma is a great guide for the tour, she is friendly, she shared lots of experience and Icelandic stories to us, and explained clear to us about the glacier. And more, she helped us took awesome photos inside the tunnel, and she kept safe among all of us.

This is a must do in Iceland. 1 of our best parts of our trip to Iceland. Guide to Iceland are extremely nice, polite, friendly, and professional. Our guide was excellent. She explained everything detail throughly. She is very intelligent with extensive knowledge of the glacier.

I want to take this tour again, but this time in winter.

We had a tour to the glacier from Husafell. The tour was an amazing experience not only for our kids, of ages 11, 8 and 5, but also for us. You do not have an opportunity to enter into the glacier and to walk inside it, to see it from inside. The way was amazing as well.

The only thing that we would like to propose is to have some stops, at least one, at the most beautiful viewsight points for pictures taking. It can be done during the way back, so it will not add delays to the tour itself.

Easily the best thing about our tour was our tour guide, Palmí. He was incredibly informative, engaging, personable, and funny. We really enjoyed learning about not only Langjökull and its importance, but about glaciers in general. The way he illustrated different concepts by drawing pictures in the Snow was wonderfully helpful. And he sung for us beautifully. :) It was much colder and wet than anticipated, but we still had a good time.

So exciting to be in the ice tunnels in the glacier. Amazing that they change so rapidly. We were very well looked after and learnt a great deal from our guides. Such a well organized tour. Thanks

The tour was simply amazing. We learned the history of the glacier tunnels and were surprised to learn that they have not been open all that long and that they might have to close them up in, 4-8 years? Or longer, can't remember. Having said that: every body should go and see this before it is gone.

The team is doing a lot of work every night to keep the tunnels in save and useable condition.

Going through, starting to see the lines from volcano eruptions puts it all into perspective. It is very cool to start "in the present" and in the end stand in a cave "in the 80s".

HIGHLY recommending it.
