5.00This was really one of our best tours Iceland. The Blue Ice Cave Tour is absolutely worth it. We had a ride in huge specially equipped Jeep to the glacier and Cave. Had to put on spikes under your hiking shoes to walk to the Cave. This was a unique nice experience walking on the Glacier. Our guide was professional and very funny. We were the only two in the group so actually we had a private guide 😊 Stepping into the cave was breathtaking. The ice was really Blue, and it was not really cold inside the cave as you were protected from the outside wind.
We had an incredible time on the Blue Ice Cave tour. Everything was so well explained that we learned a lot about the gl
