From
Your tour will start from Skaftafell Terminal, where you'll be greeted by your guide and pilot, who will tell you all about the flight route and give out safety instructions. Please make sure to be there 15 minutes before the booked time.
Once you're in a helicopter, you'll first experience Iceland's beauty from a bird's eye view. Among the stunning landscape, you'll also get to see the ice cave in all its glory from above. Take a minute to enjoy this moment, relax, and savor this experience. Soon you'll reach your destination – Skeiðarárjökull glacier.
Skeiðarárjökull is a valley glacier that comes from the south part of Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe. Once you've landed, you'll take a short path to a secret glacier ice cave. Here you'll continue on a glacier tunnel big enough to allow you to stand comfortably. You'll make your way through this icy corridor with your guide.
While inside, you'll see shimmering blue and sapphire colors, distinctive shapes, and unique patterns on ice walls. All this remarkable atmosphere will make you feel speechless as well as adventurous.
After your cave expedition, a helicopter brings you back to Skaftafell Terminal.
