  • Itinerary

Set out for an epic glacier adventure on Sólheimajökull—the closest natural ice cave to Reykjavík—and dive into a newly discovered blue ice cave forged by a hidden waterfall. Your journey kicks off at the Icelandic Mountain Guides Adventure Ground Base Camp, where your expert guide gets you geared up with crampons, helmet, harness, and ice axe before a quick briefing.

Once ready, hit the ice and trek across rugged glacier ridges, deep crevasses, and ever-changing frozen landscapes. Explore Iceland’s raw wilderness while your guide shares stories and insights about the powerful forces shaping this ancient ice. The highlight awaits: a sparkling, tunnel-like blue ice cave sculpted by the gentle flow of a waterfall. A feature that makes this cave completely unique in Iceland.

Take time to soak in the cave’s atmosphere, capture stunning photos, and experience adventure at its wildest. Then trek back across the glacier to wrap up your journey.

This is small-group glacier hiking at its best, led by certified guides and packed with scenery, excitement, and exclusive access to one of Iceland’s newest and most accessible natural ice caves, just a stone’s throw from Reykjavík.
