Highlights

Blue Ice & Glacier Hikes from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon


Explore natural blue ice on Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, on this guided small-group adventure. Travel by 4x4 towards Breiðamerkurjökull before stepping onto the ice for a glacier hike to the best blue ice formation of the day—whether a cave, tunnel, or canyon. Join Local Guide for the ultimate flexibility.


Each tour is unique. Our certified glacier guides assess conditions daily to select the safest and most impressive features, often accessing less crowded areas while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Expect a 2.5–4 hour experience including up to 5.5 km of hiking, with stunning views of the surrounding glacier.
No previous experience is needed, but a reasonable fitness level is required.


Ice caves are natural and constantly changing, so locations and features vary. This ensures an authentic, safe, and unforgettable glacier experience. Join us on the best accessible blue ice experiences in Iceland.

Itinerary

  • Glacier Lagoon

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    We will meet you in the main parking lot of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. You will be fitted to the safety equipment that is included on your tour. We recommend wearing warm and comfortable outdoor clothing to keep dry in the always changing Icelandic winter weather. Please be at our 4x4 at least 15 minutes prior to the departure. Embark on the adventure in a 4x4 vehicle to the base of the glacier that is an adventure in itself. From there we hike 5-20 minutes up to the Ice Cave on uneven ground. As the glacier is always changing, the most beautiful and safest Ice Cave will be chosen depending on the conditions of each day. The Ice Caves range between 30-70 meters. You can expect other groups in the same area. With plenty of time for exploration, photos, and learning about glacial history from your guide, this will be an experience you’ll never forget. Explore the most stunning, naturally shaped, blue Ice Cave with us! For recent photos and updates, follow @localguide on Instagram.

The ice cave tour was changed to blue ice canyon tour due to safety conditions as quoted by the Local Guides. We were notified 1 day before our tour date. Blue ice canyon tour was still a phenomenal experience and the guide, Pitr, was experienced and made sure everyone in the group was safe. Would highly recommend the tour operator.

Your safety is of the utmost importance. Ice Cave tours are weather dependent. Sometimes tours have to be cancelled with short notice due to weather conditions or safety concerns or. After periods of adverse weather, the caves can become flooded or unsafe to enter. If this happens we will always do our best to offer an alternative such as a glacier hike if weather conditions allow, however if this is not suitable we will also always offer a full refund.
