“We had a great tour! I accidentally selected a pickup spot that was just Reykjavik. When you’re selecting pick up make sure it shows a name! Our driver was excellent and super informative about Iceland. When we got to the super jeep part we had a different driver, Bigg who made the trip exceptional! We had so much fun getting out to the glacier in the van. The cave itself was magical and being on top of the glacier was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!”

2.From Húsafell: Into the Glacier Ice Cave Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 718 reviews · 4 hours · from $176Best value

Meet your English-speaking guide in Húsafell, gear up, and ride an 8x8 glacier truck across Langjökull to its man-made ice tunnel. You’ll walk through blue ice corridors, see volcanic ash layers, and hear about glacier science. Children 12 and under join free.

“Unique, spectacular and very informative! Who would’ve thought we could walk inside a glacier while learning all its wonders. Our guide Mariano was extremely knowledgeable and eager to answer all of our questions. Also, it was super fun to go on a monster truck! The tour is definitely family friendly as our young daughters were able to do it without problem. There’s a lot of walking (the tunnel is 2km long) but nothing too difficult. We decided to drive to Húsafell and stopped in hot springs and a couple of waterfalls that were amazing!! We’re so glad we found this tour. Would highly recommend it!”

Iskren was professional, he taught us a lot of things about the history of Iceland and made extra stops to enhance our experience. Although we did not see the northern lights unfortunately, Iskren checked every half hour for us while we were sleeping. Thanks to him! Overall, a once in a lifetime experience!”
