The 15 Best Ice Cave Tours in Iceland

49 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $176

Natural blue ice caves are a winter product — the glacier has to be frozen hard for the guides to open them. The 15 below split into seasonal caves under Vatnajökull and Katla, and the year-round tunnel bored into Langjökull, priced and timed.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 594 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $689

Two days on Iceland’s South Coast with hotel pickup, glacier lagoon, Diamond Beach, and a Blue Ice Cave superjeep visit.

“We were caught in a snowstorm during the tour and I’m so glad our tour guide/driver, Lori, was super calm and experienced. We sat in the first row and literally could not see the road ahead of us because of the snowstorm, but Lori was super calm and collected and made the scary drive okay. Someone in the tour fell on the ice in the parking lot of the ice caves tours and probably broke her arm through her own negligence. Lori and the other tour guides quickly did some first aid. Then she and her friend still opted to do continue the ice cave tour and beach stop before…”

6.From Geysir: Snowmobile Adventure on Langjökull Glacier

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 503 reviews · 4 hours · from $280

Ride a snowmobile on Langjökull glacier from the Geysir area. Super Jeep pickup, safety gear, and two ride segments for $280.

“The guides were very friendly and explained everything well. BjorkVin (“Mr. B”) knows how to drive on very rough terrain to get out to the site, which was an adventure in its own! Snowmobiling is harder than it looks, but it was fun!! It started snowing pretty heavy when we began the ride. Very hard to see distance in full blown falling snow, but again I like an adventure :) I recommend using the gloves they offer you! I thought my “waterproof” gloves would work fine, they did NOT. FYI: If you are singing up to only ride on the back (second seat), just know it is also a workout.…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 302 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $903.75

3 days mixing the Golden Circle with glacier lagoon and an ice cave. Small group, guided hikes, and two hotel nights included.

“Everything were great. We had a good use of 3 days to visit the key scenery spots of Iceland. Everything and everywhere were so natural and beautiful. Weather for the 2nd day was so awful with flooding so we were off track for Glacier/Diamond beach visit and Ice Cave; but guide Gunnar had been working so hard to get us back on track on the 3rd day and everyone had been highly satisfactory. Glacier/Diamond beach; ice cave and secret waterfall are all extremely fun and shouldn’t be missed!!! I recommend this trip to anyone going to Iceland and wanna make full use of their relatively short visits.”

“This was an awesome tour! My little sister and I really enjoyed all of the sites and especially the customer service. We asked multiple questions, via email address, leading up to the day of the tour and got speedy responses right back! We added a last minute hiking boot reservation two days before and they made it happen! Excellent customer service! We had an awesome tour guide, Hawk/Hark, who always kept us informed of the itinerary and sites we were visiting. He was very kind and personable. He shared lots of information with us and local knowledge, which I really appreciated. He didn't just share about the sites, but also…”
