Picture yourself standing atop a vast, awe-inspiring glacier. The profound silence envelops you, broken only by the occasional distant crack of calving ice. On this Blue Ice Cave Tour in Iceland, that image becomes a reality!
There’s a reason this small group glacier adventure, with a maximum of 8 people per guide, is our guides’ favourite winter trip!
Ice caves are natural wonders that evolve with time. Therefore, ice caves we’ve visited in previous seasons, such as the Blue Diamond, Sapphire ice cave, and Crystal ice cave, no longer exist or are inaccessible.
At the beginning of each season, our guides go out and scout the best glacier locations, so we can share our glacial wonderland with you – without compromising your safety.
