3.Frozen Wonders : Small Group Ice Cave Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 358 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $200

From Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, ride a glacier-ready super Jeep to a natural ice cave near Höfn. Groups are limited to six, with helmets and crampons provided. Guides such as Boggi and Vikka add local stories, photography help, and flexible timing that can get you into the cave before the larger groups.

“What an amazing experience. I can't recommend highly enough that you book this trip. Our guide Borgi(apologies if spelt wrong!)was excellent. He only takes max 7 on each tour and at different times to other companies so we had the caves to ourselves which was extremely special. He provided all the safety gear that was needed. He was informative and fun. One tip though is please make sure you are correctly dressed. Proper warm clothes and shoes. Excellent experience.”
