Jökulsárlón - THE TOUR
Begin your adventure by meeting your guide and boarding one of Iceland’s largest custom-made super jeeps! The journey starts from Glacier Lagoon, with a 40-minute drive towards Breiðamerkurjökull, a glacial tongue extending from Vatnajökull. During the drive, your guide will share intriguing insights about the formation of ice caves, glaciers, volcanoes, and the local culture.
The caves visited are entirely natural, continuously forming and evolving with the seasons and weather conditions. Therefore, the cave explored will depend on the conditions on the day of the tour. Participants may find themselves at the glacier’s edge or may need to hike a short distance (500-700m) on the glacier to reach the cave. The walking distance on the tour varies between 1-4 km, so all participants should be in good health and comfortable with walking.
Before entering the cave, the guide will provide a safety briefing and equip participants with helmets and crampons/micro spikes if necessary. Each tour is unique due to the ever-changing nature of the glaciers and caves. Participants will witness a variety of stunning ice formations and colors, ranging from brilliant blue to emerald green and even striking black ice.

FANTASTIC TOUR COMPANY - Fantastic tour! We did the 3-4 hour Ice Cave tour starting at 8:30am, our guide Ania helped us move quickly into the cave and built in photography stops, ensuring that each group got several fun pictures in each spot. Because we started the tour at 8:30am, and Ania got us out of the parking lot as soon as she could we beat most of the crowds into the cave. The cave itself was gorgeous, and I attribute our great experience to Ice Explorers.

Incredible Adventure! - What a fabulous experience - from the super jeep ride, to the glacier walk to exploring the ice caves it was a truly memorable afternoon. Tomi was our fantastic guide who cheered everyone along, told us about the glaciers and ice caves and made the experience even more memorable - we all laughed and giggled our way around! And rather than blowing out a candle for my birthday... I blowed the ice out of an ice peg!! The ice caves were incredible - and seeing the formations up close and all the blue was amazing. I can't believe i've walked on a glacier and been inside one!! An adventure i'd highly recommend if you're ever in Iceland! Thanks for an epic experience.

The highlight of our Iceland trip - This was hands down the best thing we did while in Iceland! Our tour guide Jessie was very knowledgeable and friendly, and was able to adapt the tour based on current weather conditions and ensure we were seeing the best views and elements of the glacier on that day. We were lucky enough to have the sun come out while we were climbing up the glacier, and the view was absolutely stunning. The ice cave itself was so beautiful and colorful, and fascinating to walk through, and really only one element of the overall experience of being on the glacier. Jessie told us a lot of interesting facts and history about the glacier and the landscape, and always ensured we were safe during the climb. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
