Itinerary
- Tour stop
We meet at Jökulsárlón and travel from there for about 30-40 minutes on our Super Jeeps to Breiðamerkurjökull. Where we will visit the everchanging Ice caves.
- Tour stop
The ice caves are formed naturally and each fall the guides go “ice cave hunting”, looking for new caves and see if any of the old ones are still there. So, the structure and condition can vary significantly between years. Each day, the guides decide which cave they will visit, all depending on the weather and, of course, the safety of the guests.
