Jökulsárlón: Glacier Hike to a Remote Ice Cave
Things to know
About the Activity
Embark with us on the adventure of your lifetime! This is a tour designed for travelers who seek to step further than most and feel like real explorers. Over the last years, the popularity of ice cave tours increased so much, that the most accessible caves can feel crowded with hundreds of people visiting them every day. We promise you to venture deep into the glacier, where the bluest and most photogenic caves stay hidden from the crowds. All our pictures are taken this year in the cave which we actually visit! The tour will start with a 45 min 4x4 ride to a glacier. After a short walk towards the glacier, the guide will introduce you to the gear and glacier hiking technique. Expect to hike up to an hour on the ice to the ice cave. We will spend 45 min in the cave and on the way back try to visit other highlights of the glacier. Please note: no prior glacier experience is required, however participants must be physically fit and able to hike for 10 km with uphill sections.6 hours
