About the Activity

Join Sindri, a local guide with over 10 years of experience, for an early morning Ice Cave Photography Tour. Running from October to April, this 3.5–4 hour tour is designed for photographers looking to capture the unique formations of Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. The tour begins at 7:00 AM at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. From there, a 30-minute drive takes you closer to the glacier, followed by a 20–25 minute walk to the ice cave. Inside, you’ll have 1.5–2 hours to photograph its stunning blue walls and intricate formations, with additional opportunities in the surrounding area. Please dress warmly and bring a camera and tripod. Tours are weather-dependent and may include other groups, but Sindri will guide you in making the most of your experience. Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your spot.
