Discover the magic of Iceland’s glaciers on the brand-new Sólheimajökull Blue Ice Cave & Glacier Hike Tour. Starting at the Sólheimajökull parking lot, just a couple of hours’ drive from Reykjavík, you’ll meet your expert guide and gear up with crampons, helmets, harnesses, and ice axes before making your way to the glacier.

After a short hike, you’ll step onto the ice and learn how to move safely across this constantly changing frozen landscape. Your guide will lead you past dramatic crevasses, sculpted ice ridges, and deep moulins while sharing fascinating insights into the glacier’s history and how these frozen giants shape Iceland’s nature.

The highlight of the adventure is exploring a stunning new blue ice cave, the closest one to Reykjavík. Inside, you’ll witness centuries of compressed ice glowing in vivid shades of blue — a rare and unforgettable experience that makes this tour one of the most accessible ways to explore Iceland’s glacial wonders.

Join an adventure tour to experience the majestic features of Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, in the Skaftafell area. The highlight of this tour is the chance to enter a naturally formed blue ice cave, offering a stunning view of crystalized ice. During the guided glacier walk on Falljökull, you will also explore other breathtaking ice formations, including deep crevasses (cracks in the ice) and vertical shafts known as moulins. This expedition allows you to witness the dramatic, carved landscapes of the glacier and learn about its continuous change.

This adventure offers a direct encounter with one of Iceland's most spectacular natural phenomena: a glacier and its crystal blue ice cave. The tour takes place on Falljökull, an accessible outlet glacier of Vatnajökull National Park in Southeast Iceland.

The tour begins at our comfortable meeting point in Hof, located very close to the glacier. Our indoor facility is cozy and offers free parking, which allows you to avoid the parking fees charged at the Skaftafell Visitor Centre. Please arrive 20 minutes before departure to meet your highly qualified English glacier guide. All essential safety gear is provided, including a helmet, crampons, harness, and ice axe.

After gearing up, you will walk for approximately 20 minutes toward the glacier's edge. Along the way, your guide will point out the visible effects of the receding ice, such as marks on the bedrock and a meltwater lagoon. Once at the ice, your guide will provide a full safety briefing and instruct you on how to walk safely with your equipment.

You will spend about 3 hours hiking on the glacier, exploring the uniquely carved landscapes of the Falljökull outlet. Your guide will lead you to the most magnificent parts of the ice, including fascinating geological formations like deep crevasses and moulins. The most memorable part of the tour is the opportunity to walk inside the naturally formed blue ice cave, giving you an up-close look at the dazzling blue ice. Throughout the excursion, you will learn about the formation and geology of glaciers and their constant change.After returning to the meeting point, enjoy a complimentary hot drink (coffee/hot chocolate) and a candy bar.
