Small-Group 5-Hour Summer Ice Caving & Glacier Hiking Tour with Photos

Enjoy an epic adventure at the Vatnajokull glacier with ice caving and glacier hiking when you book this incredible day trip. Those eager to explore Iceland's spectacular natural wonders should book this small-group photo tour now.

Your excursion begins at the meeting point of the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon parking lot within Vatnajokull National Park. You'll meet your guide and the other people on this tour here. This is a small-group tour with a maximum of 10 participants, so you can enjoy a more intimate experience.

Your guide is a local expert and a professional photographer. They can answer any questions and take professional photos of you and your party during the tour. You'll receive a digital download of 10 edited images within two weeks of your excursion.

When everyone is ready, you'll board a super jeep, and your guide will take you off-roading to the glacier's edge. A super jeep is a four-wheel drive vehicle specially modified to handle rugged terrain. 

Along the way, your guide will tell you more about the history of the Vatnajokull National Park and the glacier. When you arrive, you'll hike to the edge of the glacier. Your guide will give you a thorough safety briefing and all the necessary equipment for glacier hiking and ice caving, including a helmet, harness, crampons, and an ice axe.

First, you'll explore the ice caves set within the glacier. These sapphire-blue ice caves change constantly as the glacier ice melts and refreezes, meaning each visit is unique. You'll have time to explore the caves as the photographer snaps photos of you in this otherworldly location.

When you finish in the cave, you'll head onto the glacier to discover more ice formations, including the crystal crevasses. Hiking on the glacier includes a steady incline. The hike lasts about two hours, but it's suitable for anyone with an average fitness level.

As you trek over the ice, the guide will take photos of you enjoying the magnificent views surrounding you. You'll get a mix of candid and posed pictures with spectacular backgrounds. A photo tour like this is a fantastic way to commemorate your time in Iceland.

At the end of the tour, you'll take the super jeep back to the meeting point at the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, where you can continue your adventure or return to your accommodation.
