The perfect tour for blue ice cave lovers who want to add that little bit of extra adventure to their trip to Iceland. A combination of a glacier hike and exploring magnificent blue ice caves in Vatnajökull glacier. Perfect for adventurous travellers and photographers.
This Full Day Super Jeep Tour will take you to see the exhilarating Blue Ice Cave in the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull glacier by the Secret Diamond Beach. If you want to explore Iceland to the fullest and experience it in an extraordinary way this tour is right up your allay. You will embark on an hour long glacier hike on Vatnajökull glacier to reach the ice caves, the amazing environmental circumstances in and around the ice caves will fascinate you and provide great photo opportunities to create memories to keep and share with others.
The blue ice caves are located where the mighty Vatnajökull glacier meets the glacier lagoon so a good chance is that you will see outlets from the glacier cleave into the lagoon, a magnificent sight.
After your time exploring the caves its an 1 hour hike back. This your will fulfil the needs of those of you who need a bit more extreme exploring during your trip to Iceland and the difficult level is a little above most ice cave tours we have to offer.
Dress for the occasion, warm first layer and waterproof as over layer, grab your hiking boots and get ready for this Extreme Blue Ice Cave tour with us and see The Secret Diamond Beach.

FAQ
What should I wear on the tours?
Weather in Iceland is very unpredictable. For tours during winter: warm clothing as first layer, waterproof jacket with a hoodie, hiking boots with ankle protection and hard sole, a hat and gloves are ideal. For tours during summer, bringing a light rain jacket or a soft shell with a hoodie is in most cases enough protection. Icelanders often say, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes”. Jeans are not recommended for our trips as they become very heavy, cold and uncomfortable to wear when they get wet.
Do I need hiking boots?
We encourage bringing hiking boots for glacier tours. They have to hard on the sole and tight around the ankle. Unfortunately, don’t have the option to rent hiking boots for our Crystal Ice Cave Tour from Jökulsárlón for the moment.
If I am pregnant, can I join a glacier hike?
This is a personal choice. We have had pregnant women on our glacier hikes and we always recommend you read the description of the activity to get a better idea. In any case, feel free to contact our Service Team for further questions and concerns.
What if it’s raining?
It rains a lot in Iceland, but we do not let rain stop us from going out and enjoy nature. All we need to do is choose our clothing wisely, which is why we recommend wearing waterproof clothing as the second layer. Of course, safety is our #1 priority. In case of extreme weather conditions, we will cancel our tours and do our best to reschedule. In these cases, you’ll receive a full refund.
