Katla Ice Cave Tour

We will meet up in Vík and then board a 4x4 Jeep to explore the south coast of Iceland. We will drive through unique landscapes towards the Kötlujökull glacier.

Upon arriving at the glacier, we will get out and prepare to enter the glacier located on the Katla Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland. The visit to the ice cave will be safe.

We will climb to the crystal ice cave, known as the "Yoda Cave." The combination of blue ice, volcanic ash, and rock formations creates a stunning environment. We will explore various areas of the cave, admiring the blue, grey, and white colors reflected on the walls.

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