This wonderful meet-on location tour is ideal for people who want to add something to their self-drive adventure in Iceland. It begins in the iconic Thingvellir National Park and takes you on a scenic journey through Iceland’s rugged highlands to Langjokull Glacier.
There we’ll find a gorgeous man-made ice tunnel that bisects the very heart of the glacier. If you are planning to explore the Golden Circle and want to explore a glacier during the afternoon, then this is the perfect tour for you.
From
The tour begins in the heart of Thingvellir National Park, when we meet you on location and begin our journey through some of Iceland’s most famous landscapes. The wonders begin in Thingvellir itself – where you will see the famous seismic divide between Europe and North America, along with the site of Iceland’s original parliament. We’ll then start our ascent towards Iceland’s beautiful Highlands, passing rugged cliffs, snow-capped mountain peaks, and capricious volcanoes along the way.
Langjökull glacier, will soon hone into view – a vast icy natural wonder stretching far into the distance. Our specially designed super-vehicle will allow us to explore this dramatic sea of ice and see the many crevasses and ice sculptures that it hides. Your friendly guide will tell you more about how Langjökull has helped to sculpt the surrounding area and what the future holds for it.
Our final destination will be the Langjökull ice tunnel – a man-made miracle that is carved through the very heart of the glacier. It offers the tantalizing opportunity to explore the heart of a glacier in all of its glory and encompasses a host of wonderous sights, including sapphire ice rivers, diamond-like ice sculptures and much, much more. Your friendly guide will tell you all about all the icy wonders that you are seeing and take you to the best spots to snap some incredible photographs.
We’ll hop back in our specially designed super jeep once we have completed the ice tunnel, making the scenic journey back to Thingvellir National Park – where we will go our separate ways, until the next adventure!
Note: We cannot guarantee that the actual view during your visit will match the photographs since ice caves 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.

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family.

Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs.

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
