Iceland · ICE CAVE TOURS
Natural ice caves open when the meltwater drops in November and close when the glacier moves again in spring. These 15 cover the blue chambers under Vatnajökull, the ash-streaked Katla cave above Vík and the year-round man-made tunnel in Langjökull, with prices and how much walking each involves.

“This was a great activity, not sure where all the bad reviews come from. If you keep your expectations in line with reality and not social media, you won’t be disappointed! It was amazing to be on a glacier and see the ice cave & crevasses. Do not book if you’re not in relatively good shape as it involves a lot of walking and climbing on snow and ice. Equipment is provided and it feels totally safe. Great Iceland experience!”

“I'm not one for booked activities / tours but this was unmissable for me and I loved every minute of it. Hanka, our guide, was informative and engaging and had good judgement. She balanced the group's needs well. We were lucky with the weather, which made this all the more enjoyable. I had thought I'd booked the ice-caves and glacier hike, however the 'hike' element didn't really happen. If I had money to spare then I'd love to do a full day tour and really explore the glacier. I had expected a bit more exploring but in all honesty I loved just looking at the incredible ice, taking a gazillion…”

Review of Iceland’s 10-hour Katla Ice Cave tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, black-sand beaches, Super Jeep rides, tips, costs, and cave access.
“This tour was excellent, we went in winter and even though the daylight hours were short, we had good time everywhere and benefitted from gorgeous golden-hour light in each location. We loved the small group size and personal interactions with the guide who truly loved the places we were visiting. Driving through the ice and black sands to the Katla glacier was just as much an experience as the ice cave itself. thoroughly recommend to anyone with a free day in Reykjavik.”
