What is included in the Crystal Blue Ice Cave Discovery?

The tour includes a super jeep ride from Jokulsarlon to Vatnajokull, a guided glacier hike, access to one or two ice caves and ice tunnels, all safety equipment (crampons, helmet, and ice axe if needed), and return transfer. Tours are led by professional, English-speaking guides.

How long is the Crystal Blue Ice Cave Discovery?

The total tour duration is approximately 5-6 hours from Glacier Lagoon and back, including the super jeep ride and time on the glacier and in the ice caves.

How is this tour different from the Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure?

This is the longer, more in-depth option. You spend more time on the glacier, visit one or two ice caves plus ice tunnels, and the group is smaller — ideal if you are a photographer or want a less rushed experience. The Ice Cave Adventure (2.5-3.5 hours) is the shorter, easier introductory tour.

When does the tour operate?

The Crystal Blue Ice Cave Discovery runs from October through April only. Ice caves form during the colder months and are not accessible in summer. For a summer glacier experience, see our Summer Treasure Glacier Discovery.

What should I wear and bring?

Hiking boots with ankle support are essential. Wear warm, layered clothing — fleece or wool base layers plus a windproof and waterproof outer layer. Bring gloves, a hat, water, and a camera. Jeans are not recommended as denim absorbs moisture and takes a long time to dry.

What is the difficulty level, and is it suitable for children?

The tour is rated Medium difficulty. It includes a hike over rocky glacial moraine and uneven glacier terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness is needed. It is suitable for families with children who are comfortable with moderate hiking. No prior glacier or cave experience is required.

Where does the tour depart from, and when?

The tour departs at 09:30 from the Glacier Lagoon (Jokulsarlon) on Iceland’s South Coast, approximately five hours from Reykjavik. Please arrive at the meeting point in good time. The maximum group size is 14 people. The tour costs 29,900 ISK per person.
