Description

Enjoy an exhilarating super jeep ride and explore the natural wonder of an ice cave by booking this incredible guided excursion from Vik. Those eager to embark on an exciting adventure on the Myrdalsjokull glacier should book this tour now.

Your excursion begins when your driver picks you up in a super jeep from the meeting point in Vik. You'll greet your guide and the other tour participants. Super jeeps are specialized 4X4 vehicles for off-road adventures in challenging terrains like Iceland's rugged landscapes.

These modified jeeps, often with oversized tires and enhanced suspension systems, can traverse snow, glaciers, rocky trails, and rivers, providing access to remote and inaccessible areas. They also have powerful engines to conquer rough terrain while ensuring passenger comfort and safety.

Climb aboard the super jeep and get comfortable. Relax as your driver takes you to the Myrdalsjokull glacier and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes you can see.

The Myrdalsjokull glacier in South Iceland is one of Iceland's largest and most impressive ice caps. It covers an area of around 230 square miles (almost 600 square kilometers) and conceals the Katla volcano. Myrdalsjokull has numerous glacier outlets known as glacial tongues. These create magnificent ice formations, including ice caves and crevasses.

The Kotlujokull glacier is one of Myrdalsjokull's glacier tongues on the eastern side of the Katla volcano. It's known for its dramatic and rugged terrain, deep crevasses, ice formations, and stunning ice caves. It's one of these ice caves that you'll be exploring today. 

As you arrive at the ice cave within the Kotlujokull glacier, your experienced guide will give you a thorough safety briefing. They will also provide all the equipment you'll need for your ice-caving adventure, including crampons, a helmet, and an ice axe.

They'll be on hand to talk you through the expedition, point out features of the ice cave, and answer any questions you may have.

Admire the spectacular ice formations' blue, black, and white colors as you step inside the ice cave. Ice caves are constantly melting and refreezing, so they are always changing. Each visit to an ice cave is unique, meaning your visit will be truly special.

After exploring the ice cave, you'll return to Vik in the super jeep.

Take advantage of this immersive ice-caving experience from Vik for a close-up encounter with one of Iceland's most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Check availability now by choosing a date.
