Explore the mesmerizing world beneath the icy surface on our Mýrdalsjökull Ice Cave Tour

Your adventure begins at the Myrdalsjökull Base Camp, approximately a 2-hour and 15-minute drive from Reykjavík. Boasting the title of the nearest and most accessible natural ice cave to the capital, it awaits your discovery.

From our base, we embark on a 20-30 minute mountain truck ride up to Mýrdalsjökull glacier. This adventurous ride, on big wheels and in an epic vehicle, adds an exhilarating start to your journey, offering breathtaking views and a thrilling experience as you navigate the rugged terrain. Next, we'll walk for about 15 minutes to reach the ice cave.

You'll be outfitted with safety gear and provided with comprehensive information to ensure your exploration is safe and enjoyable. Guided by our expertly trained glacier guide, we delve into the glacier's heart. Inside, you'll enjoy a display of nature's artistry.

As you traverse the cave, the pathway is mostly flat, a blend of snow, ice, and small rocks. Climbing is not required, making the journey accessible and enjoyable for all.

The ice cave experience lasts about 45-60 minutes. It is followed by a 10-15 minute hike back to the truck and a drive back to base camp. As the sole tour operator granted access to this hidden gem, we offer an exclusive passage into a world few have seen. Far from the crowds, this is an intimate encounter with one of Iceland's most majestic creations, a privilege reserved for those who seek the extraordinary.
