Description

Experience the otherworldly beauty of the Vatnajokull glacier's ice caves on this three-hour private tour. Travelers seeking the rare experience of exploring and having their photos taken inside an ice cave with an expert photographer-guide will enjoy everything this tour offers.  

Your exciting adventure in Iceland begins as you meet your English-speaking guide at the parking lot of the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Tour joiners are advised to book accommodation nearby as Jokulsarlon is far from Reykjavik and the tour departs early in the morning.

With this ice caving expedition's early schedule, your group has the best chance to be ahead of other tourists. 

An expert guide who doubles as your professional photographer will lead the trip. They will enrich your day with trivia about Iceland while taking landscape and portrait images with the ice cave or glacier as your backdrop.

Ideal for groups of up to four people, as well as solo travelers and couples, this tour offers the convenience and flexibility of a private excursion. A known advantage of booking a private excursion is a personalized experience tailored to your group's needs and pace.

After a short briefing from the guide, you'll board a 4x4 vehicle perfectly suited to Iceland's rugged terrain. Along the way, you'll enjoy scenic views in the countryside and fascinating stories from your knowledgeable guide.

Upon disembarking from the car, your guide will equip you with the necessary glacier and safety equipment, including crampons, a harness, an ice axe, and a helmet with a headlamp. With your gear in place, the journey continues with a 30-minute hike to the edge of the Vatnajokull glacier, where the highlight of the adventure awaits.

Exploring an ice cave up close is one of the most thrilling activities you can do in Iceland. As you enter the cave, you'll be greeted by its crystal blue and ash-black ice walls. With luck on your side, you may even glimpse inside alongside the beautiful glow of sunrise.

As you explore the cave, your guide will capture stunning photos of you against the backdrop of this natural wonder. It is also worth noting that no two ice caves in Iceland are alike because they melt and freeze with the changing seasons.

Throughout your visit, your guide will provide insights into the formation and composition of the ice cave, enhancing your understanding and appreciation of this remarkable phenomenon. 

After an hour of exploring the cave's multiple chambers, you'll hike and drive back to Jokulsarlon, where your adventure concludes.

Within 14 days of your satisfying ice caving experience, the tour operator will send edited copies of your five photos in the ice cave. You'll receive them via email or a downloadable online drive.
