Description

Experience the awe-inspiring landscapes of Iceland as you set out on a guided glacier hike to a secluded ice cave near Jökulsárlón. Led by expert guides, this winter adventure takes you deep into the heart of blue ice, where you’ll discover the magic of remote caves rarely visited by others.

Your journey begins at the main car park of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where your guide will greet you in a specially equipped 4×4 vehicle. After a scenic 40-minute ride, you’ll learn about the fascinating formation of ice caves and the ever-changing glacial environment from your knowledgeable guide.

Once at the glacier, you’ll be outfitted with all necessary glacier gear and receive a briefing on hiking techniques. The trek covers approximately 8 kilometers, leading you to some of the most striking blue ice and at least one remote cave. If conditions allow, you may even explore additional caves or ice tunnels along the way.
