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.

  The Trip of a Lifetime  - My family of 6 completed the 7-day Ring Road tour with Arctic Exped and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Julian, was the main reason my family enjoyed Iceland so... read more much. He took care of absolutely every logistical detail, allowing us to just relax and take in the otherworldly landscapes. Every single day brought something new—from towering glaciers and roaring waterfalls to dramatic black sand beaches and hidden geothermal pools. The pacing was perfect for covering the entire perimeter of the country, and the local insights from Julian gave us a much deeper appreciation for Iceland’s culture and nature. The accommodations were stellar and the food was even better. Julian helped with my surprise engagement and made the moment absolutely perfect as well! If you want a flawlessly planned, stress-free, and truly unforgettable Icelandic adventure, book with Arctic Exped.

  We miss you Julian!  - What an awesome trip! Took the family on a 7 day tour around Iceland with Julian and we all had an amazing week!  We loved his commentary about the... read more island he so clearly loves and calls home. His attention to detail made for a pleasant and stress free week. Even a last minute request for my son to propose to his girlfriend was given special attention to make the moment a perfect memory for us all. The photos are spectacular and I imagine us viewing them over our lifetimes to recall a special time together. I highly recommend Arctic Exped and “King Julian” to all who wish to explore Iceland!
