Ice Cave Discovery

Picture yourself atop a vast, gorgeous glacier. The profound silence envelops you, broken only by the occasional distant crack of calving ice.There’s a reason this small group glacier adventure, with a maximum of 8 people per guide, is our guides’ favourite winter trip!This Season’s Unique ExperienceYou’ll start by visiting the same blue ice cave as on our ice cave tourYou’ll hike up Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, reaching ever more scenic glacier overview.You’ll immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Iceland’s glacial wilderness, away from the main crowds in your small groupPast Season’s HighlightsIce caves are natural wonders that change every season. Therefore, ice caves we’ve visited in previous seasons, such as the Blue Diamond, Sapphire ice cave and Crystal ice cave, no longer exist or are inaccessible.At the beginning of each season our guides go out and scout the best glacier locations, so we can share our glacial wonderland with you – without compromising your safety.Please note that we will not be the only group visiting the ice cave. We try to accurately represent the cave as you would experience and be able to photograph it yourself. Visit our Instagram @localguide to see photos we’ve been tagged in as well as those we have posted throughout the season.What to ExpectGetting There – An Adventure in ItselfEmbark on an adventure that takes you deep into Iceland’s glacial heart, where our custom 4×4 vehicles conquer challenging landscapes sculpted by ice over countless ages.
