Ice Cave Tour
Welcome to our most popular Ice Cave Tour!
Discover Iceland’s Blue Ice – Ice Cave Tour Update
Our Ice Cave Tour takes you to some of the most beautiful blue ice formations in Iceland, located on the west side of Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet of Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest glacier. Depending on weather and glacier conditions, guests may explore one to three naturally formed blue ice features, offering an authentic and ever-changing Iceland ice cave experience. These formations are reached by a guided glacier walk, led by trained and experienced glacier guides.
The full ice cave tour lasts around 4 hours, occasionally 3.5 hours, depending on conditions and group pace. Walking distances vary, and your guide will select the safest and most scenic route for the day. All required glacier equipment— microspikes or crampons —is provided, depending on the type of blue ice feature accessed during your departure.
Important: Iceland’s ice caves are natural, dynamic structures shaped by winter conditions. For safety and operational reasons, the cave location, glacier route, or overall tour setup may change at the last minute due to weather, ice movement, or guide assessment. These adjustments ensure the safest and most rewarding blue ice cave tour possible.
Because the glacier is constantly changing, conditions—and therefore the experience—may look very different from one week to the next. We monitor the changes daily to ensure you see the best blue ice formations of what Vatnajökull has to offer each day, with safety as our top priority.
This update reflects current conditions, please note that this is the best half day accessible blue ice experience available in Vatnajökull National Park
We will update our website as well as our social media with new informations if any changes.

If you want to capture/photograph the blue crystal colours of the ice with a local company, this is a tour that we recommend for you.
We start with a 4×4 super jeep ride to the glacier,, where we hike to the ice cave (note that there is no elevation on the way to the cave). We spend a good amount of time in the ice cave exploring and taking all the photos you need.
The tour can take 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on the day’s conditions and weather. All the ice caves are naturally made, so nature decides how they are shaped and where they are located. Safety is our priority, so we always choose the best Ice cave for every trip. The drive and the walk to the ice cave can, therefore, be different between days. If nature decides we cannot go to the ice cave, we have other extraordinary alternatives for you.
