Vatnajökull Ice Cave tour
23
Discover the beauty of Iceland’s largest glaciers and highest volcanoes with professional guides that focus on providing the highest possible standard of experience.
Gigantic rivers of ice are constantly pouring down from the Vatnajökull ice cap, flowing almost the entire way out to the ocean below.

Glacial ice caves are created by rainfall and ice meltwater that carves tunnels beneath the glacier and are a must-see when visiting the south of Iceland during the winter months.
With safety as the highest priority at all times, Glacier and Volcano Expeditions always endeavour to take their guests to the most interesting, beautiful and photogenic locations whilst also being on the lookout for new features that the glacier creates regularly. This is all part of the fun!

Glacier Hike and Kayaking Combination
1
The ultimate adventure! Hike to a glacier lagoon, paddle in between icebergs, and hike up onto the glacier!
The kayak that you will use is an inflatable boat called a packraft, a lightweight, one-person boat that is small enough to fit in a backpack. Our packrafts are pontoon-style, extremely buoyant and incredibly stable single-person boats. Packrafts are easy to paddle and whilst there is very little chance that users will tip out all users wear a provided dry suit and personal flotation device (PFD) for safety. At the beginning of the tour you will be issued with your drysuit, packraft, paddle and PFD in a backpack which you will need to carry to and from the glacier lake. All of this equipment is very portable and weighs less than 10kg.
Please note!
Drysuits must be worn on this tour and we have a limited size range available. We can accommodate for people with a height range between 150cm (5 ft) and 193cm tall (6’4 ft).
