Iceland: Vatnajokull Glacier Hike and Ice Cave Tour

Embark on a guided hike on the Vatnajokull Glacier in Iceland. Explore a naturally formed blue ice cave and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
Begin your journey at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, where you’ll meet your expert guide and gear up with crampons, a helmet, and an ice axe. No previous glacier experience is needed. Just bring a sense of adventure and be ready for a rewarding hike.

Start with a 20-minute walk to the glacier, passing fascinating sights like deformed bedrock, moss lines showing where the ice once reached, and a lagoon with the last remnants of melted ice.

Once you arrive at Falljokull, one of Vatnajokull’s most enchanting outlet glaciers, your guide will teach you how to walk on ice and provide a quick safety briefing. Then, embark on a three-hour glacier hike across breathtaking landscapes.

Along the way, see deep crevasses, shimmering moulins, moss-covered “glacier mice,” and towering icefalls. The route is designed to be comfortable for most fitness levels, and your guide will set a relaxed pace so you can take in every view.

The highlight of the tour is the dazzling blue ice cave, where vivid shades of blue ice create a surreal and magical atmosphere. The ice caves in Iceland offer a dream setting for capturing truly unforgettable photos, so be sure to bring your phone or camera fully charged and ready.
