Katla Ice Cave Tour

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

Upon arriving at the glacier, we will get equipped to enter the glacier on the Katla Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland. Our visit to the ice cave will be safe.

We will climb to the crystal ice cave, known as the "Yoda Cave". The mix of blue ice, volcanic ash, and rock formations creates a stunning effect. We will walk through different areas of the cave, admiring the blue, grey, and white colors reflected on the walls.

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