  Encuentro con tu Guía

  You will meet your guide at the Glacier Lagoon parking lot in Vatnajokull National  Park. The official address for this location is: í Hornafirði, Jökulsárlón, Laguna Glaciar, 781 Höfn or you can simply type in ‘Ice Pic Journeys’ in Google Maps and we will come up. It is important to be aware that this is a 5-hour drive from Reykjavik so you will need to stay at an accommodation closer to this meeting point.

  Please arrive 15–20 minutes early to prepare for the tour and use the restrooms since they will be none at the glacier. Your guide will be right across from the restrooms in the bus parking lot. You can look for the ‘Ice Pic Journeys’ logo on our 4×4 vehicle amongst the other companies. Departure will be precisely at 12:00 pm so it is  important to arrive on time or you may miss the tour. 

  Conduzca en 4×4 hasta el glaciar Vatnajokull

  From the Glacier Lagoon parking lot, you will hop aboard one of our 4×4 vehicles and head towards the glacier. About 10 minutes into your  journey, you will turn off onto an F-Road and make the bumpy journey toward the glacier. From the road to the glacier parking lot, this will take roughly 20-30 minutes to reach. As you drive, your guide will teach you the history of the surrounding area as you enjoy a scenic ride through an ancient glacier plain.

  Caminata hasta la Cueva de Hielo

  Once you arrive at the glacier parking lot, your guide will begin handing out your gear for the tour. The equipment includes a helmet with a headlamp, and hiking boots if your rented them. Depending on the weather conditions, we might have to use crampons, an ice axe and a harness. Once everyone has their gear, you will be taken to the Ice Cave. The hike is relatively easy for most and will have you walking on flat, yet slightly rocky ground the entire way. We will always go at the pace of our guests so you can take your time and enjoy  the walk as your guide leads the way.

  Arriving at the Crystal Ice Cave

  Upon arriving at the edge of the glacier, you will be greeted with a massive cavern in front of you with a river running underneath it. You have finally reached our Crystal Ice Cave! This cave varies each year in its shape, location, and size. This is because the cave is always melting away and reforming naturally during the summertime. That is why you will always get a unique experience when going into it because it will never be the same as it was on that day.

  Before entering the cave, your guide will help you put on your crampons if necessary. Not all caves require wearing these since many lie underneath the ice on rocky ground. Still, this will vary from year to year. After your crampons are on, your guide will go over safety instructions when exploring the cave. It’s important to understand and  follow these rules and to ask any questions that you may have before entering.

  Explorando la cueva de hielo de cristal

  Entering the ice cave will be an unreal and otherworldly experience for most people. Your eyes will slowly adjust to the crystal blue walls of the cave and showcase its hidden beauty. If you are lucky and it’s a clear day, you may also see the sun rising with its first light hitting the walls of the cave, a truly magical experience.

  As your guide leads you deeper into the ice cave, they will take their camera and photograph you in the best locations and angles. Having explored and photographed these caves hundreds of times, they will have the best insight at getting you amazing photos while you relax and enjoy the cave without worry.

  As you are enjoying the ice cave, your guide will teach you about its formation and composition. Normally, these caves will have multiple chambers that you will be able to explore as you go deeper into the cave, however, this can vary from year to year. After everyone is happy with their photos and experience, we will exit the cave and make our way back to the glacier parking lot.

  Regreso a la Laguna Glaciar

  Terminará el recorrido con una caminata de regreso al estacionamiento del glaciar y un viaje de 30 minutos de regreso a Glacier Lagoon, donde se despedirá de su guía y tendrá recuerdos de un día increíble dentro del Parque Nacional Vatnajokull.
