Description

Explore Iceland's scenic South Coast and discover one of the newest-formed ice caves by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those eager to go on a glacier adventure and see some of Iceland's most beautiful sights should book this tour now.

Your tour begins when you are picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You'll meet the expert guide leading the tour and the other guests joining you.

The drive to the South Coast from the city takes you past stunning landscapes, rugged mountains, and rural countryside. You'll also see black sand beaches and ice-topped volcanoes.

You'll arrive at Mydaljokull Glacier Base Camp, boarding a mountain truck to get to the glacier's edge. It's around a 20-minute exhilarating ride, which sets the tone for the rest of your adventure.

It's around a 10-minute walk to Askur Ice Cave from the parking lot at the glacier's edge. Your guide will give you a thorough safety briefing and all the necessary glacier gear to make your experience safe and enjoyable.

You'll travel around 656 feet (200 meters) into the ice cave, looking at the intricate ice formations surrounding you. The white and blue colors in the cave create a magical atmosphere.

Ice caves constantly change due to the ice melting and re-forming, making each visit unique. Be sure to remember your camera to get some epic photographs.

As you explore, your guide will tell you more about the geology of ice caves and how they are formed. Once you've finished exploring the ice, it's time to discover other sights on the South Coast.

You'll see two of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Standing approximately 197 feet (60 meters) tall, Seljalandsfoss waterfall plunges from a dramatic cliff, cascading into a pool below.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall is exceptional because it has a narrow pathway that allows adventurous visitors to walk behind the curtain of water, providing an immersive experience.

Skogafoss waterfall is a magnificent waterfall situated on the Skoga River, boasting a drop of around 197 feet (60 meters) and a width of 82 feet (25 meters). Its powerful flow generates a continuous mist, creating vibrant rainbows on sunny days.

One of Skogafoss waterfall's most remarkable features is its proximity to the legendary Fimmvorduhals hiking trail.

At the end of the tour, you'll be dropped off back at your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Don't miss this incredible experience of discovering the beautiful sights of the South Coast and exploring the magical world of an ice cave. Check availability now by choosing a date.
