  • Itinerary

Every year, nature surprises us with new ice caves — and this season, Sólheimajökull glacier revealed something spectacular. Just 2.5 hours from Reykjavík, a brand-new blue ice cave has opened, glowing with shades of sapphire and glassy ice walls.  

To reach it, you’ll hike across the glacier’s dramatic surface with an expert guide, then step inside a hidden cavern where centuries of frozen history shine in surreal light. It’s the closest glacier cave to the capital, just discovered in September 2025, and one you won’t want to miss. 

Join us to see the new Azure Ice Cave! Meet us at Sólheimajökull parking lot where you get all the necessary safety equipment and meet your friendly guide for the day.
