Ice Cave Tour
Ice Cave Tour with a Local Mountain Guide
This is our short and easy version of ice caving tour in Vatnajökull National Park. We have been offering a trip like this since 2006, so we are the oldest ice cave tour company in Iceland.
We go to the most popular and easy accessible ice cave each winter so the location might vary between years. Max 6 persons per tour.
Private Ice Cave Tour
Private Ice Cave Photography Tour for 1 or 2 photographers
Ice cave photography has become challenging in most ice caves in southeast Iceland due to number of people visiting them each day. On the Private Ice Cave Tour we go to remote ice caves too far to hike to for the crowds so there is not much danger of overcrowded situations. Of course this requires that you are fit for long day.
