Discover Iceland’s Blue Ice – December Ice Cave Tour Update
Our Ice Cave Tour takes you to stunning blue ice formations on the west side of Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet of Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest glacier. Depending on conditions, guests may explore one to three naturally formed features, offering an authentic and ever-changing blue ice experience. These formations are reached by a guided glacier walk led by trained glacier guides.
The tour lasts around 3 hours, occasionally up to 3.5 hours. Walking distances vary, and the guide selects the safest and most scenic route each day. All required glacier equipment—microspikes or crampons—is provided, depending on the terrain and features accessed during your departure.
Iceland’s ice caves are natural and dynamic. For safety reasons, the cave location, glacier route, or tour setup may change at the last minute due to weather, ice movement, or guide assessment. These adjustments ensure the safest and most rewarding experience.

Glacier Lagoon
We will meet you in the main parking lot of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. You will be fitted to the safety equipment that is included on your tour. We recommend wearing warm and comfortable outdoor clothing to keep dry in the always changing Icelandic winter weather. Please be at our 4x4 at least 15 minutes prior to the departure. Embark on the adventure in a 4x4 vehicle to the base of the glacier that is an adventure in itself. From there we hike 5-20 minutes up to the Ice Cave on uneven ground. As the glacier is always changing, the most beautiful and safest Ice Cave will be chosen depending on the conditions of each day. The Ice Caves range between 30-70 meters. You can expect other groups in the same area. With plenty of time for exploration, photos, and learning about glacial history from your guide, this will be an experience you’ll never forget. Explore the most stunning, naturally shaped, blue Ice Cave with us! For recent photos and updates, follow @localguide on Instagram.

5.00Great experience. The glacier is amazing. The three caves we visited were beautiful. Sam, our guide, was awesome. Personable, funny, knowledgeable and kept us safe. You need ro bw able to hike about 20 -30 minutes up the glacier, and dress warm if going between November and April
Highlight of our week in Iceland.

5.00This was the highlight of our week in Iceland. If I was asked for advice on the one thing visitors shouldn’t miss, this is it. Great for a family. Awesome hike across the glacier and visits to several ice caves. DRESS WARMLY. And try to get a tour that gets off the glacier while the sun is shining as there’s lots to see in the area. If you’re doing a day trip from Reykjavik, I would also see the black sand beaches in Vik on the way.
One of the best things I did in Iceland!

5.00My glacier hike and ice cave tour with Local Guide in Iceland was absolutely phenomenal and easily one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide Mikael was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Iceland’s glaciers. He took the time to explain how the glacier was formed, how it’s changing, and what makes each ice cave unique, all while making sure everyone felt safe and confident on the ice. I was traveling solo and he made sure to keep an eye out for me and to make sure I was Ok at all times. Walking across the glacier was surreal, but stepping inside the ice caves was nothing short of magical. The blue colors, textures, and natural formations were breathtaking—photos truly don’t do it justice. Mikael made sure we had plenty of time to take it all in and were able to take many photos. If you’re considering a glacier hike or ice cave tour in Iceland, do not hesitate to book with Local Guide in Iceland. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and they deliver it with expertise, warmth, and genuine care. I would book with them again in a heartbeat!

5.00Our guide Sophia did a great job teaching us about ice caves and the local area. That caves were incredible and even better that I was expecting.
The sunrise on the glacier is something you will not forget!

5.00Beautiful experience under the expert guidance of Annka. We made a small initial trek among the sand and ash rocks, and then arrived in front of the glacier. Once we put on the crampons we continued the trek on the ice, arriving to visit two caves in which we could take several very suggestive photos. Our group consisted of 6 people + the guide. A couple of weeks before the tour we were notified of the unilateral change in the schedule, bringing it forward by 1 hour and 30 (from 10:15 to 8:45). Despite the initial discontent it was the best thing they could propose. The glacier at that time was still almost empty (there were few tours at once) and we admired the spectacular view with the sunrise lights (luckily there was a clear sky). Total duration of the tour almost 4 hours (including shuttle transfers)

5.00Couldn’t go into normal ice caves due to warm temperatures, but the alternative hike on top of a glacier and down into crevices in the ice was still a great and fun experience.

5.00Damian was a fantastic guide for our glacier hike (October 2025)! We attended our excursion on a very snowy day and couldn’t have felt safer in the hands of Damian. He navigated the roads to the glacier expertly, despite the icy/snowy conditions and had an extensive awareness of the glacier. He took us to two beautiful blue ice areas and explained knowledgeably about glacial features and formations. I would 100% recommend using Local Guides as the tour provider for this excursion as, along with our excellent experience, they also contribute to maintaining the glacier and its safety and are a very competent team.
A breathtaking experience!

5.00Due to the weather and it's impact on the caves, we weren't able to attend this particular tour. The company however rebooked us for the Blue Ice Glacier Tour instead which was absolutely amazing. Hiking the glacier and going down into one was a breathtaking experience. Thank you to our guide, Sam for the trip!
