Jökulsárlón: Vatnajökull Ice Cave Guided Tour

Before you book

Meets at a café beside Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, about 390 km (roughly five hours) east of Reykjavík on their own listing.
A 20 to 30 minute drive and a 5 to 15 minute walk over rugged ground lead to the cave; it is cold inside, so dress warmly.
Minimum age 8. Bring warm clothing, hiking shoes and rain gear; the operator supplies the rest of the safety gear.
Some reviewers say they expected a dramatic cave and found this more of a glacier tour, especially in harsh weather; others call it a trip highlight.
Runs roughly October to April; the exact cave changes most winters, and this listing does not give a specific month-by-month cutoff.
