1 hour • Admission Not Applicable

The ice caves are formed naturally and each fall the guides go “ice cave hunting”, looking for new caves and see if any of the old ones are still there. So, the structure and condition can vary significantly between years. Each day, the guides decide which cave they will visit, all depending on the weather and, of course, the safety of the guests.

Before you can plunge into the fascinating world of glaciers, you will be driven in an off-road truck over a bumpy track through the beauty of the nature reserve. Hold on tight! When you arrive at the glacier, you will receive a helmet and crampons and set off on foot in less than 10 minutes. You will receive lots of interesting information about the area and the glacier. And then... Wow! An indescribable natural spectacle! Over 40 meters of blue ice stretch above you - a real natural wonder! At the end of the tour, you can even climb the glacier. Our guide was not only super friendly, but also really funny. That made the experience even more unforgettable. So, don't hesitate! Book this tour - you won't regret it!
Amazing. Unforgettable, must do experience

We had such an amazing time on our ice cave tour. We were lucky to be the only ones booked in for this tour. Our guide, Mike, was really nice, very knowledgeable. We could not have imagined a better experience in these caves. Mike, and Glacier Journey, made it truly unforgettable, and a true highlight of our Iceland road trip! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
