Head deep into the ice cave of Iceland's Kötlujökull glacier, located on the spectacular Katla volcano. Accompanied by a professional guide, you will discover all the hidden corners of this dream-like cave.

Katla Ice Cave Tour

We will meet up in Vík and then board a 4x4 Jeep to explore the south coast of Iceland heading to the Kötlujökull glacier. Upon arrival at the glacier, we will get equipped and prepared to enter the glacier located on the Katla Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland, ensuring a safe visit to the ice cave.

We will climb to the famous crystal ice cave, also known as the "Yoda Cave." The combination of blue ice, volcanic ash, and unique rock formations creates a stunning visual experience. We will explore various areas of the cave and admire the reflections of blue, grey, and white colors on the walls.

After the cave tour, we will return to the 4x4 vehicle and drive back to Vík.
