Glacier hike and Ice cave tour

In this tour we visit natural ice cave and explore Vatnajökull europe's biggest glacier with certified glacier guide.

After about 30 minutes of driving on a 4 wheel drive road we head forward on foot for about 35 minutes, following a gravel path before reaching the glacier's edge.

We stay in the ice cave for approx. 30-40min.

We visit an ice cave and explore the glacier above. The 1.5 hour glacier hike offers majestic panoramic views and close encounter with Vatnajökull, the biggest attractions in Iceland. The glacier has many interesting features such as moulins and crevasses which often can be accessible.

Included is all necessary glacier gear, including crampons, helmet, and harness. Your guide will evaluate each time which gear is necessary.

The group size for this tour is only 8 persons and our goal is to provide quality personal service in the realm of Vatnajökull.

Notice: Ice caves have become very popular in Iceland and every easily accessible ice cave in the area is likely to be visited by several tour operators and groups every day and at the same time as our tours.
