What to expect

Join this magical blue ice adventure from Skaftafell. This tour combines a hike on an outlet of Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull, with a visit to a natural blue ice cave. You'll meet your guides in a hut in Skaftafell National Park. They will provide all the professional gear you need, including a helmet, ice axe, harness, and glacier crampons and show you exactly how to use them.

Every year, the glacier moves and changes, which means you get to find and explore a brand-new ice cave every single winter. These caves are natural wonders made of ancient ice that glows with a beautiful blue colour when the light shines through. It is a dream for anyone who loves taking photos or seeing the amazing sights of Iceland. Because the ice is always changing, safety always comes first. Your expert guide knows the glacier perfectly and will only take you into the cave when it is completely safe.

Walking on the glacier is a great way to see the ice up close, with its deep cracks and amazing frozen shapes. You'll learn how these glaciers are formed and how they change over time. Visiting a natural blue ice cave is a rare and special experience that feels like stepping into another world. This is a fun, professional, and safe journey into the heart of the frozen wilderness that you will never forget.

Join this tour for a day of discovery and beautiful views in one of the most famous parts of Iceland.
