ICE CAVE TOUR
Super-jeep & Ice Cave
Ready to witness nature’s stunning creativity? Imagine embarking on this adventure in a custom-built super jeep! Our most popular experience, the Ice Cave Tour at Breiðamerkurjökull, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity guided by our expert team. Let the adventure begin!
THE TOUR
Your journey starts by meeting your guide and boarding one of Iceland’s largest custom-made super jeeps! We’ll depart from Glacier Lagoon and drive approximately 40 minutes toward Breiðamerkurjökull, a glacial tongue extending from Vatnajökull. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about the formation of ice caves, glaciers, volcanoes, and local culture.
The caves we visit are 100% natural, constantly forming and changing with the seasons and weather conditions. As such, the cave we explore will depend on the conditions on the day of your tour. We may find ourselves at the edge of the glacier, or we might need to hike a short distance (500-700m) on the glacier to reach the cave. The walking distance on the tour therefore varies between 1-4 km so all participants should be in good health and comfortable with walking.
Before entering the cave, your guide will provide a safety briefing and equip you with helmets and crampons/micro spikes if needed. Each tour is unique due to the ever-changing nature of the glaciers and caves. You’ll witness a variety of stunning ice formations and colors, from brilliant blue to emerald green and even striking black ice. Our guests often tell us that the diverse ice formations and colors are the most unforgettable part of their experience.
WHICH ICE CAVE DO WE VISIT?
We always aim to take you to the most beautiful and awe-inspiring ice caves available during the season. Since the caves constantly evolve, old ones disappear, and new ones form, each tour is a unique adventure. Rest assured, we will guide you to the best ice cave accessible at the time of your visit.
If you’re looking for an extended experience, we also offer a 5-6 hour tour (Ice Cave & Glacier Exploration tour) that combines an ice cave visit with a glacier walk.
