Jökulsárlón: Ice Cave and Glacier Hike Tour by Super Jeep

Explore a blue ice cave and hike on Vatnajökull Glacier on a guided tour from Jökulsárlón. Travel in a super jeep, enjoy panoramic views, and learn about glaciers from your guide.
Begin your adventure at the iconic Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, a world-renowned gem nestled within Vatnajokull National Park. Admire the tranquil, otherworldly atmosphere of this natural wonder as you prepare for the incredible activity ahead.

At the lagoon meeting point, meet your expert driver-guide and board a custom-built super jeep specially designed to handle Iceland's challenging terrain. From there, set off on an exhilarating journey up the slopes of the Vatnajokull glacier.

As the super jeep navigates through a breathtaking landscape of ice and snow, enjoy panoramic views of this colossal glacier, which covers over 3,088 square miles (8,000 square kilometers), Europe's largest glacier and one of Iceland’s iconic natural landmarks.

When the jeep reaches the ice cap, gear up for the next phase of the adventure, the exciting glacier hike. Your guide will provide all necessary safety equipment, including crampons and helmets, and offer a short safety briefing on how to hike the glacier safely.

The glacier hike is moderate in difficulty, with some sections that may feel a bit more challenging. However, it is well worth the effort, as it provides a unique chance to see the impressive glacier up close and experience the awe of being surrounded by pristine, white ice.

During your glacier walk, your expert local guide will share fascinating insights into the fascinating facts behind glaciers, from their formation to their constant evolution.

After the hike, arrive at the entrance to an ice cave, where the true magic of the tour begins. Inside the beautiful blue ice cave, be greeted by walls of shimmering aquamarine and sapphire colors, along with intricate ice sculptures created by melting and refreezing of the ice. This natural masterpiece offers endless opportunities for incredible pictures, so make sure your camera is fully charged to capture every moment of its surreal beauty.

Once you’ve explored the cave, return to the super jeep for a scenic ride back to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, where your incredible six-hour adventure concludes.
