Ice Cave Tour

The Ice Cave Tour is our most popular tour. We meet at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and from there we drive a modified 4x4 on a rugged road into the glacial valley, which is an adventure of its own. From there we hike roughly 15 minutes to the entrance of the cave, and most of the walk will happen on the glacier. For this winter that is the Blue Diamond ice cave. Expect a stunning blue ice cave, and a short walk on the glacier to the cave entrance, further updated descriptions will follow very soon. The tour is expected to be around 2h-3h in total.

With ice caves conditions can change over the winter so the cave we go to might vary later in the winter.

The super jeep journey to reach the ice cave is an adventure on its own, traveling through mesmerizing landscapes carved out by glaciers over decades. At 3 hours only, this half-day trip suits most people and is perfect for the short winter days or if you are worried about Iceland’s winter weather. Inside the cave, you will have time to enjoy the scenery, gaze at the shades of blue, and take photos.

Amazingly,  ice caves are constantly evolving, with the caves melting and reforming every summer. When scouting for caves for the winter we look not only at the size but also the colours, overall beauty and experience.

Please note that we will not be the only group visiting the ice cave. We try  to accurately represent the cave as you would experience and be able to  photograph it yourself. Visit our instagram @localguide to see photos  we’ve been tagged in as well as those we have posted throughout the  season.

Be ready for the Icelandic winter weather, please wear warm and waterproof outdoor clothing, a hat and gloves etc.

During  this tour we do not hike on the glacier but we walk from the place we park the car for approx. 25-30 minutes on uneven ground. The walk is  around 4km both ways so please keep this in mind when booking this  activity.

We meet at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon by the black truck marked with Local Guide logo.
