Get to the Crystal Ice Cave before all of the other companies and experience the serenity! Our Early Bird Ice Cave Tour has you waking up before everyone else and setting off toward the glacier to welcome the day. Your guide will lead you onto Vatnajokull Glacier and have you arriving at a much quieter ice cave with few to no people inside of it. Being one of the first to arrive at the ice cave allows you to enjoy a more personal experience with the ice. On top of that, your guide and photographer will be able to get that magical photograph of you inside the cave without the photobombing. Throughout the tour, you will learn about the history of Vatnajokull Glacier and how the ice works in Icelandic nature.
After the tour ends, your guide will professionally edit your photos and email them to you within 14 days. Þessar myndir verða fullkominn minjagripur og minning um ævintýri þitt á Íslandi!

Þú getur leitað að merkinu Ice Pic Journeys á 4×4 bílnum okkar meðal annarra fyrirtækja. Departure will be precisely at 10:30 am (until January 20th) or at 12:00 am (after January 21st) so it is important to arrive on time or you may miss the tour. This is to ensure that we have ample time in the cave before the larger company’s groups start arriving.
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.
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.
Þegar komið er að jaðri jökulsins verður þér fagnað með gríðarstórum helli fyrir framan þig með á sem rennur undir honum. Þú hefur loksins náð Crystal Ice Cave okkar! Þessi hellir er breytilegur á hverju ári hvað varðar lögun, staðsetningu og stærð. Þetta er vegna þess að hellirinn er alltaf að bráðna og endurbæta náttúrulega yfir sumarið. Þess vegna færðu alltaf einstaka upplifun þegar þú ferð inn í hann því hann verður aldrei sá sami og hann var þann dag.
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.
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.
