Full description

Venture into Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe, on this 2.5-hour activity. Experience spectacular glacier landscapes as you begin with a drive by super jeep into the glacier area. Gear up with a helmet, micro-spikes, and a headlight, if needed. Spend about 45 minutes inside the ice cave, where you can take photos and learn about the glacier and the formation of the cave. The ice cave you visit on this tour is natural, so it is up to nature to decide its location and its shape. Conditions can change often during the season so all photos shown here may already be out of date!
