Enter the blue ice cave of the Vatnajökull glacier and discover its origins, a highlight for anyone visiting Iceland!

Vatnajökull Glacier Tour

At the designated time, we will convene at Lake Jökulsárlón in the southern region of Iceland. From there, we will embark on an off-road journey to Breiðamerkurjökull, which serves as one of the main access points to the Vatnajökull glacier. Upon reaching the glacier, we will commence our trekking route that spans approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). The duration and difficulty of this hike will be influenced by the prevailing weather conditions, the season, and the size of the group.

As we advance, we will walk beneath a natural ice arch formed by glacial meltwater. Once inside the cave, you will have the opportunity to touch the crystalline blue ice that adorns the cave walls, a splendid manifestation of nature! Our time within the cave will last around 45 minutes.

After this remarkable experience, we will retrace our steps back to the glacier's entrance. Subsequently, we will travel back in the off-roading vehicle to our original meeting spot, concluding the activity after approximately 2 hours.
