Going on a tour with us at Glacier Journey in an Ice cave, situated in Europe’s largest glacier, is an opportunity of a lifetime.
The ice caves are ever changing but always remains beautiful and interesting and never cease to amaze. Which ice cave we visit can change between, and sometimes within, seasons.

We at Glacier Journey will pick you up at Jökulsárlón – The Glacier Lagoon, where we have our base camp during the winter months. From there you will be driven in a specially modified Super Jeep on a narrow gravel road as close as we can get to the ice cave.
A short walk later and you will enter the ice cave and experience the beauty of the glacier from the inside.

Our local guide will provide you with safety equipment (helmet and crampons) before beginning the short walk.
In addition, you will experience great views as well as receiving information about the glaciers and icefields and their impact on our environment.

Sometimes we are not able to access the ice caves due to weather. Unfortunately, this scenario is out of our control!
Because ice caves are the plumbing system of the glacier, the cave will need time to evacuate the excess water if there has been intense rain the days leading up to the tour.

If that happens, we will offer our Super Jeep Black Beach tour. You will see the ruins of our first local airport and the lighthouse Hvanneyjarviti. You get to see one of Iceland’s toughest entrance to Höfn harbour, where we can see seals spying on us while we look at the amazing view of the mountains all around us. Finally we travel to a mesmerizing Glacial lagoon that lies beneath Fláajökull or Heinabergsjökull. There is a big herd of reindeer that we are often so lucky to see on our way to the lagoon.
