Winter Ice Cave Captured

3 hours and 30 minutes

Moderate

Explore a newly discovered ice cave on Europe's largest glacier. Let us capture you doing it.

Your personal photographer and glacier guide will lead you onto one of Iceland’s most scenic outlet glaciers. As you immerse yourself in the blue ice, your guide will take professional photos of you to capture the most special moments of your tour. We will explore Sapphire Ice Cave;  a beautiful blue feature formed in the summer months as the glacier melts. Throughout the hike, you will learn about the history of  Vatnajokull Glacier and how the ice works in nature. After the tour ends, we will professionally edit your photos and email them to you up to 14 days later via a downloadable drive. These photos will be the perfect souvenir and memory of your adventure in Iceland!

Optional: Pickup/Drop-off out of Reykjavik is available for an additional 175,000 ISK per group (max 6 pax) and would automatically make it a private tour. Pickup time would be 7 am from your accommodation and the duration of the tour would change to approx. 15 hours. When this option is available it will be visible once you click ‘continue’ at the checkout.

        • Participants must be in reasonably good health to embark on the tour they have booked. Pregnant individuals are not permitted on tours.
        • Our standard age requirement for our Ice Cave tours is 8 years old. For our Glacier Hikes , Glacier Ziplines,and  private ice climbing tours the minimum age is 10 .
        • Ice caves are a dynamic ever-changing natural phenomenon. Each year, old ice caves melt and new ice caves appear.  Photos that you see of the cave at any given time on our website or any social media will not necessarily mean that is what you will experience on your tour. This makes each experience unique and special for our guests.  Check out how ice caves evolve on our blog!
        • This tour can involve roughly 1-1.5 hours of total hiking. The terrain is very flat yet rocky and is relatively easy for a person of average fitness.
