Ice cave tour in Iceland

Visiting a natural ice cave in Iceland has never been this easy. The trip departs on super jeeps from the charming village of Vík throught the black desert of Mýrdalssandur onwards to Kötlujökull. Kötlujökull is a large outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s 4th largest glacier.

The trip will take around 30-60 minutes and it takes you through a beautiful and otherworldly area that has been used for filming TV shows and movies such as Game of Thrones and Star Wars: Rouge One.

You’ll see powerful glacial rivers, vast stretches of black sandy plains, beautiful green promontories like Hafursey and Hjörleifshöfði rising up from the desert and the beautiful mountain ranges and glacier that make up the area of the volcano Katla. Upon arrival to the glacier you’ll be geared up to walk towards the Ice Caves, a easy walk of 5-15 minutes.

You will spend around 45-60 minutes exploring the glacier and ice cave and the local guide will give you insight and information about the formation of the ice caves and the glacier itself. Afterwards the it’s time for returning back to Vík.
