About This Tour

The tour begins at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where massive icebergs drift toward the Atlantic Ocean. Here, you’ll climb aboard a Super Jeep for an exciting off‑road adventure to the edge of Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. The ride is bumpy once we start driving off-road, but offers great views of the surrounding mountains and scenery. Your guide will lead you into an ice cave - a dazzling world of deep blue ice shaped by meltwater streams and frozen into magical formations. Equipped with a headlamp and glacier crampons, you’ll safely explore the cave, capture incredible photos, and learn how these rare formations appear and change with each winter season. This is a natural wonder and popular area, so you should expect to share the cave with other groups. Guides do their best to coordinate and give you time & space to enjoy the atmosphere and take pictures. Ice caves seasonally accessible, and only when conditions are safe.
