Itinerary

Departing from the glacier’s edge, this adventure takes you deep into the heart of Langjökull—an immense ice cap covering 870 sq km (340 sq mi). Visitors from around the world come to experience its luminous blue corridors, where the vastness of the glacier becomes tangible beneath your feet. Walking inside the tunnel offers a rare opportunity to step into a frozen world sculpted entirely from ice. Because the tunnel sits high on Langjökull, snow and true winter conditions remain here year-round.

Located just a 2-hour drive from Reykjavík, this tour is ideal for families and travelers looking for an accessible yet truly unique glacier experience.

If traveling from Reykjavík, you’ll visit several notable attractions in West Iceland before and after your glacier experience. These include Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, the beautiful Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, and a local horse farm.

Note:We cannot guarantee that the actual view during your visit will match the photographs since glaciers are a natural phenomenon that undergoes constant change. How they look may vary depending on the season, time of the day, lighting, and other factors.

You can meet us at:

  • KlakiBasecamp (1 June–15 October)—64.650233°, -20.582700°
