Die Tour auf den Gletscher und die Eishöhlen war super! Die Fahrt dort hin war abenteuerlich isländisch, aber mit klasse Aussicht ;) Unser Guide hat einen tollen Job gemacht! Grüße gehen raus. Würden die Tour wieder machen. Unbedingt machen (eher bei Sonnenschein für den besseren Effekt in der Höhle)

It was a great experience, I truly recommend it. The guides were kind and the glacier is amazing. They let us did the experience even if it rained all day. Most of all, the company is efficient and kind. We had the tour planned for the morning at 9 but an issue with the car prevented us to be there in the morning. The company promptly and quickly replied to our message (even though we contacted them at 8:30 pm), giving different options to postpone our activity without loosing any money.

We had a fantastic experience, and our guide Damian was excellent. He was very attentive, answered all our questions with great patience, and made sure we had plenty of time to take photos in the most beautiful parts of the cave. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

La nostra guida, Thomas, è stata fantastica. Ha accompagnato l’escursione con delle spiegazioni semplici e curiosità. Il ghiacciaio è meraviglioso, abbiamo avuto l’opportunità, nonostante fosse il 1 ottobre, di visitare ben due grotte di ghiaccio. Ne vale assolutamente la pena!

Highlights

This half-day tour starts at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in southeast Iceland and explores the blue ice caves and blue ice formations of Vatnajökull, Iceland's largest glacier. You ride to the glacier in a modified 4x4 vehicle, then walk on the ice with a professional glacier guide who knows the area well. Groups are small, so there is plenty of time to explore and take photos, and all required safety gear, including a helmet and crampons, is provided. No glacier experience is needed, but a general level of fitness is required.

Program

Start at Jökulsárlón and
discover the blue ice of Vatnajökull

The tour begins at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The destination is Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, where you visit blue ice formations shaped naturally by weather and glacier conditions. Depending on the day's conditions, you may see ice caves, ice tunnels, canyons and other forms of blue ice.

Ride to the glacier in a modified 4x4 vehicle

Meet your guide at the meeting point and board a large modified 4x4 vehicle to the edge of the glacier, enjoying the glacial landscape along the way.

Hike the glacier to ice caves and blue ice formations

Put on your helmet and crampons and follow a trained glacier guide on a glacier hike. The walking distance varies from about 1 to 5.5 km depending on the location of the ice cave or blue ice feature, and the guide chooses the safest and most scenic route of the day. The whole tour takes about 2.5 to 4 hours.

Small groups with plenty of time for photos

Small groups give you plenty of time to explore the glacier and take photos. Your guide explains the ever-changing glacier and the surrounding area in detail.

※ Ice caves are natural structures formed by winter weather, so cave locations, routes or the schedule may change at short notice due to weather, glacier movement or the guide's judgment.
※ Large cathedral-style ice caves are not guaranteed, and you may visit other blue ice features such as ice tunnels, canyons or crevasses.
