Experience Iceland’s largest glacier, a breathtaking construction of snow and ice that you’ll explore in a specially modified Super Jeep. This adventure allows you to delve into the glacier’s environment, take in an otherworldly view, and even venture inside the glacier to appreciate its beauty from within!
Our experienced local guide will lead the way, sharing a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields, and their environmental impact throughout our journey. We aim to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience.
Please note that the ice caves we visit are ever-changing natural phenomena and, as such, are unpredictable. We will visit one ice cave during the tour, chosen based on conditions and safety considerations.
This tour offers you the chance to walk inside Vatnajökull Glacier, a truly impressive mass of ice formed thousands of years ago. As the largest glacier in Iceland, it covers an area of roughly 8,000 Sq. km (5,500 Sq. miles) and is almost 1,000m thick at its deepest point, making it the largest glacier mass in Europe.
Please ensure you wear appropriate outdoor clothing and hiking boots. A reasonable level of fitness is required for all our tours. Remember to inform the guides of any health issues beforehand.
