Discover Iceland’s Blue Ice – December Ice Cave Tour Update
Our Ice Cave Tour takes you to stunning blue ice formations on the west side of Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet of Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest glacier. Depending on conditions, guests may explore one to three naturally formed features, offering an authentic and ever-changing blue ice experience. These formations are reached by a guided glacier walk led by trained glacier guides.
The tour lasts around 3 hours, occasionally up to 3.5 hours. Walking distances vary, and the guide selects the safest and most scenic route each day. All required glacier equipment—microspikes or crampons—is provided, depending on the terrain and features accessed during your departure.
Iceland’s ice caves are natural and dynamic. For safety reasons, the cave location, glacier route, or tour setup may change at the last minute due to weather, ice movement, or guide assessment. These adjustments ensure the safest and most rewarding experience.
Itinerary
Glacier Lagoon
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeWe 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.
