Jökulsárlón: Easy Hike to a Natural Blue Ice Cave｜Iceland

Embark on a mesmerizing journey where crystal-clear ice formations, tinted with enchanting blue hues, create a surreal underworld, which only exists in winter. Our expert guides will lead you safely into and through the cave sharing tons of geological facts and helping you capture Instagram-worthy moments surrounded by the otherworldly beauty of blue ice. You will create memories, which will last a lifetime.

Our guide will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the departure time at the main carpark of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in a modified 4×4 vehicle marked with a sign saying Ice Walkers Tours. From there you set off for a ride towards the glacier, which takes up to 40 minutes. On the way the guide will explain to you how the ice caves are made and what the current conditions are, as well as share local knowledge of the area and glaciers.

After reaching the end of the mountain road you will be introduced to the gear used on the tour and from there you will walk for up to 10 minutes to reach the cave. You will then spend one hour exploring the ice cave. Your guide will of course help you to take the best pictures and create everlasting memories of this adventure.

The way back will be the same and after 3-3,5 hours from the start you will be back at the main car park of Jökulsárlón.


We always try to visit the best ice cave available at the given time, but the choice may vary throughout the winter. However, as we operate in a really fast-changing environment, conditions may make entering this particular ice cave too hazardous. We will then try to offer you an alternative, which might require some hiking on the glacier. You can be sure that you will receive from us relevant and up-to-date information if the conditions change.
