Description
Combine a blue ice cave visit with a guided glacier walk in the spectacular Skaftafell area of Vatnajökull National Park. This tour brings you close to the textures, colors and scale of Iceland’s glacier world in one unforgettable outing.
Your expert guide will provide the necessary glacier equipment and lead you safely onto Falljökull. Along the way, you can see crevasses, glacier formations and seasonal ice features before exploring a natural ice cave when conditions allow.
