Tour description
ALONE IN A HIDDEN ICE CAVE TOUR
Embark on a super jeep or a boat tour journey (pending on the season), hike through breathtaking unspoiled landscape that offers jaw-dropping vistas throughout the journey. The glacier and surrounding mountains offer great photo opportunities along the way. The cave’s natural shape and entrance make it exceptionally unique. It’s an easy but lengthy hike, approximately 8-10 km both ways.
You will be provided with a lunch pack to keep you energized during the tour.
After the ice cave exploration, we invite you to savor a warm bowl of tomato soup and a hot drink at Frost restaurant before continuing your journey.
Come join us for a truly spectacular adventure into Iceland´s winter wonderland!
