Into Ice and Lava

Langjökull, Iceland


The Best of Both Worlds

Here is your chance to go on a magical journey deep beneath the glacier and into the Lava Cave.

We leave early from Reykjavik and catch the crisp morning, before you know it you suddenly find yourself standing on top of an Ice Cap and about to begin your descent down below the surface to explore what lies beneath. In order to get there we step aboard a huge specially-modified truck and drive up the glacier to the cave.

The Ice Tunnel or Ice Cave is a man made glacier cave high up in a remote area in the highlands of Iceland. Your guide will explain the formations and movements of glaciers along with how they are constantly changing as they take you on a magical journey deep within the glacier. You get to see stunning blue glacier ice and wonderful glacier formations. The temperature inside the glacier is usually around zero degrees Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit and until very recently what lay beneath the surface of Langjokull was a mystery.

After our ice cave tour we get back on board the glacier truck and head straight to Iceland's mightiest lava cave, Vidgelmir. Just shy of 5,250 feet (1,600 meters), Vidgelmir is one of the largest largest lava caves in the world. Your guide will show and explain to you the features of the cave, including its colors, lava and ice formations, and stalactites and stalagmites.

This tour is very family friendly, thanks to our all new signature walkway and feature lighting. Afterwards we take a scenic route back to Reykjavik.
