Ice Cave Iceland – A journey into the glacier

Explore the brand new ice tunnel in Langjokull Glacier

Today's adventure starts with a drive through Borgarfjordur to the edge of Langjokull glacier. During the drive you'll get the chance to visit Deildartunguhver, the largest hot spring area in Europe, and Hraunfossar waterfalls, a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of a lava field.

When you reach Langjokull glacier, it's time to board an 8-wheel glacier truck that will take you on an adventurous journey to the entrance of the ice cave.

During the excursion within the glacier itself you'll see colours of blue you never knew existed, and learn how glaciers hide the secrets of history.

After an approximately 50-minute visit within the glacier, it's time to head back to Reykjavik, but this time the route follows the Kaldidalur highland track, including a stop at UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park, where you'll encounter amazing scenery.

Overnight in Reykjavik.

Free day for leisure - departure

If your flight is in the afternoon, use your last moments in the country to walk along the harbour seafront and breathe the fresh Atlantic breeze - or if you still need to relax, visit one of the city's swimming pools. There you can chat with the locals while relaxing in the geothermal mist.
