Underground · CAVE ATV AND BUGGY TOURS IN ICELAND
Numbers below ground are capped almost everywhere, and the good slots go months out. Here are 4 cave atv and buggy tours in Iceland to lock in early, what is included and how they differ.
Ride from Vík in a high-clearance Super Jeep, cross Mýrdalssandur, and walk onto Mýrdalsjökull with crampons and a helmet. Your English-speaking guide, such as Helgi, Peter, Alex, or Kamil, leads you into the changing Katla Ice Cave and explains the volcano, glacier, and ash layers. Groups are limited to 14.
“Amazing tour, an unforgettable adventure through shimmering blue ice and stunning volcanic landscapes.”
Ride a powerful Super Jeep from Jökulsárlón to Breiðamerkurjökull, then walk across the ice to a changing natural cave. English-speaking guides such as Thor, AJ, Dori, and Benny explain the glacier, help with photos, and fit you with crampons, a helmet, and a headlamp. The cave may be bright blue, white, wet, large, or modest depending on nature’s latest work.
“Our guide Eddie was amazing. He made sure we had fun, told us information about the glaciers and Iceland and made sure of our safety. He was really kind as he volunteered to take us pictures and overall it was a great experience. Thank you for everything:) Takk fyrir!”
From Vík, you’ll ride a rugged Super Jeep through Katla Geopark, walk across Mýrdalsjökull, and enter a natural ice cave with a glacier guide. Expect blue, black, and gray ice, safety gear, changing cave conditions, and coffee with biscuits afterward. Guides such as Hawk, Beda, and Gabriel add humor and useful local insight.
“This was a great adventure with a wonderful guide, who was very funny. Coffee was provided prior to departure but there are no restrooms at the Ice Cave... plan accordingly. The cave was beautiful and having the earliest tour made it extra wonderful.”
Meet in Vík, then ride a Super Jeep toward Kötlujökull Glacier beneath Katla Volcano. With a certified guide such as Hawk, Gaby, Syra, or Jon, you’ll walk into a changing natural ice cave using provided crampons and a helmet. Expect beautiful scenery, a bumpy ride, and a short cave visit.
“Our guide was incredible!!! His experience and information made this one of the most unique tours I’ve ever been on! We also felt like it was doable with our kids. He helped make it a comfortable, safe and fun journey!”
Pick a coast, a country or a kind of cave.
