The tour: The cave is located about 30km from Lake Mývatn, deep within in the lava fields of Búrfellshraun. To access the cave we must use modified Super jeeps, The tour starts with a very scenic super jeep drive, passing Mt. Hverfjall and into the Lava fields, The drive usually takes around 45-50min, depending on weather and conditions we also often make stops along the way to admire the view. Where the road ends, there is an 800m walk to the cave. Once at the cave, every guests get's a pair of studded rubber boot, with spikes designed not to damage the ice inside. Each guest also gets a helmet with a headlamp. Exploring Lofthellir cave, it is the goal of the tour that each group experiences the exhitment of exploration, and therefore there are no pre-set lights within the cave. This also makes every tour unique. Time spent inside the cave is limited to about 1-1.5hours due to the fact that we don't want our breathing to affect the delicate balance of temperature. Exploring the cave is not hard, however there will be some crawling on ice involved, come bending down, and perhaps sitting on wet ice. It is therefore important to note that this is not a tour for those with mobility issues and waterproof/ resistant pants are recommended. Our goal as a team is to provide a unique, educational experience and also protect cave Lofthellir for future generations. Therefore a portion of each ticket is spent to support research and protection of the cave in teamwork with the land owners.
