2.Ice Cave Tour in the National Park of Vatnajökull

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 410 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $157Best value

Meet at Jökulsárlón and ride a modified 4x4 toward Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. You’ll hike across rough ground to a changing natural ice cave with a guide such as Axel, Fannar, or David. Expect striking ice, a bumpy ride, and possible waits when several groups arrive together.

Global warming is a real threat and it's sad to see the very real effects. The car ride was so very bumpy but SO much fun! Would not advise if you have back issues..David our tour guide was so full of energy, fun and honest. I would have assumed our guide would stay with our group as we were hiking but he would often times walk ahead and then wait for us to catch up. He did stay by us…”
