Tour Description

The Crystal Blue Ice Caves are the reason that many people decide to travel to Iceland during the winter time. So if you are coming any time between November and March, make sure that you don’t miss this amazing opportunity.

In this tour we will explore the out-of-this-earth beauty of a crystal blue ice cave. We will explore some off the beaten path spots on a glacier hike near Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe.

The tour starts when you meet our ice cave expert and friendly guides by the parking lot of Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. The guides will be waiting for you by our Super Jeep. We will hop on the Super Jeep and drive to the ice caves. The drive itself is exciting and with great views of the glaciers. The guides will tell you about absolutely everything there is to know about the area as well mas making sure that you feel safe on the ride.

Once we arrive to the glacier, we will take a short hike through the landscape to the cave. On this hike you can learn about the world-famous Vatnajökull glacier from your guide. Did you know that Vatnajokull was used in the TV series of Game of Thrones? In this tour yu will learn about the Game of Thrones locations and other productions that took place in the area.

Your guide will show you how to use the glacier equipment, such as crampons, so you can walk on the glacier before you reach the breathtaking blue ice cave. In a short time, you will be standing inside an ancient glacier that holds a natural blue ice cave with different shades of blue colors and formations. Once you are at the ice cave, you will have plenty of time to take that one picture you will frame and share with everyone back home. After happy memories are created, you’ll return happy and warm to continue your travels.

Since the ice caves are 100% natural, the structure and condition of the caves can vary greatly each year. Our guide decides which cave to visit every day depending on safety and weather conditions.

Never been on an ice cave or glacier before? You don’t have to worry at all! Our certified glacier guides will keep you safe before, during and after this tour in search of the blue ice cave.
