商品説明
Embark on a mesmerizing journey to the land of blue ice, which only exists in winter. Our expert guides will lead you safely onto the glacier and into the ice 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 created and what the current conditions are, as well as share local knowledge of the area and glaciers.
After arriving you will set off towards the glacier. There the guide will introduce you to the gear and glacier hiking technique and you will start a longer hike, which will take you to a remote part of the glacier. We aim to walk further than most groups. This should reward you with the bluest possible ice and a visit to at least one ice cave, which is rarely visited by anyone. If the conditions allow we will try to visit more than one cave and/or ice tunnel on the way. Expect to spend around 3-3,5 hours on the glacier and in the caves. You will have plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the ice formations, as our guides never rush you. Lunch is not provided, but there will be time to eat your own lunch on the ice.
You will come back from this trip feeling like an accomplished glacier explorer!
Please note: as we operate in a rapidly changing environment, conditions may arise that make entering a particular ice cave too hazardous. We will then try to go to another ice cave, which might be the most popular one on the edge of the glacier, but if that is the case you will be informed about it. You can be sure that you will receive from us relevant and up-to-date information if the conditions change. Feel free to get in touch and inquire about current conditions!
