Set out from Jökulsárlón for an immersive glacier adventure that combines super-jeep transport, a guided glacier hike, and a visit to a seasonal ice cave. Over 5 to 6 hours, explore Breiðamerkurjökull—an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull—while taking in dramatic views, ever-changing ice formations, and the striking landscapes around the Glacier Lagoon.

With an experienced guide leading the way, you’ll discover features such as crevasses, moulins, and deep blue ice formations, while learning about the glacier and the surrounding area. Safety equipment is provided before stepping onto the ice, and the route typically covers around 4 to 6 km depending on conditions and the group’s pace.

Because ice caves change throughout the season, each departure is shaped by current conditions, with the aim of visiting the best available cave and formations on the day. This makes every tour a little different—and a memorable way to experience one of Iceland’s most remarkable natural environments.
