Get ready for an unforgettable ice cave tour in Vík, where adventure meets breathtaking landscapes! This day tour in Iceland takes you deep into the heart of the Katla Ice Cave, one of the country’s most stunning natural wonders.

An off-road super jeep adventure
Your adventure starts in Vík, where you’ll join in a powerful super jeep specially designed to tackle Iceland’s rugged terrain. As we venture off-road, we’ll cross rivers, navigate volcanic landscapes, and pass through movie set locations from films like Star Wars: Rogue One and Noah. This isn’t just another sightseeing trip – it’s a true Icelandic wilderness experience!

Exploring the Katla Ice Cave
After an exhilarating ride through the highlands, we’ll arrive at Kötlujökull, the stunning glacier in Iceland that serves as the outlet for the mighty Mýrdalsjökull glacier where Katla volcano is sleeping. This is where our glacier hike begins! With the help of your expert guide, you’ll gear up with crampons, helmets, and headlamps before setting off on a glacier walk in Iceland towards the entrance of Katla Ice Cave.

Inside the cave, you’ll be mesmerized by the striking layers of black volcanic ash and brilliant blue ice, formed over centuries by volcanic eruptions and glacial movements. Your guide will share fascinating insights into how these caves form, their constant evolution, and the powerful forces that shape Iceland’s unique landscape.

A Hidden Black Sand Beach
After exploring one of the best ice caves in Iceland, we’ll take another scenic drive to a private black sand beach, a location few visitors get to see. Unlike the famous (and often crowded) Reynisfjara Beach, this secluded spot allows you to experience the beauty of Iceland’s volcanic coastline in peace. Here, you can stroll along the black sands, feel the power of the North Atlantic waves, and capture incredible photos of the emblematic Reynisdrangar – the basaltic formations in front of Vik.
