OVERVIEW

General information

Visit an incredible ice cave within 2 hours from Reykjavik!

Begin your day with a prompt 8:00 AM departure from Reykjavik, embarking on a scenic drive to Hvolsvollur for a brief stop to refresh with light snacks and a bathroom break before continuing your journey.

From there, we will drive to the remarkable Solheimajokull Glacier, where you’ll be equipped with premium gear for your ice cave experience. A guided 45-minute walk across the glacier will bring you to the entrance of the ice cave, where you will have 30 minutes to explore the pristine, otherworldly environment of ice formations and ethereal blue hues. This unique opportunity to witness nature’s frozen artistry is one not to be missed. Following your time inside the cave, we’ll make the 45-minute return walk back to the vehicle, and begin the journey back to Reykjavik.

If time permits, enjoy a brief stop to admire the dramatic beauty of Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, two of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders, before returning to Reykjavik.

					  Golden Circle and South Coast Private Tour  - Julian was absolutely amazing! We did two days of tours, one in the South Coast and the other in the Golden Circle. He took us off the beaten path into... read more areas not crowded by tourists. These areas were absolutely breathtaking! He was very friendly, timely and knowledgeable about the areas and Iceland history. Already looking forward to coming back and seeing more! He definitely made our trip special, the South Coast tour was easily the highlight of our trip!

					  Phenomenal tour! - We had the absolute best experience with Arctic Exped! A huge thank you to Julian for organizing our 3-day South Highlights tour with Garðar. Julian went above and beyond—checking in... read more with us daily, recommending excellent accommodations, and even providing extra raincoats when our luggage didn’t arrive. The level of care and attention made our trip stress-free and unforgettable. Garðar was a fantastic guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Iceland. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Arctic Exped again for a future adventure!
