Private Ice Cave Tours from Jökulsárlón
Some moments are best shared only with your own people. On a private ice cave tour it's just your party and your guide, exploring a natural blue ice cave together. We meet at the Jökulsárlón parking lot and head out from there.
What is a private ice cave tour?
A private tour is just your own party with a guide. No other guests join, so the day is all about you: a family trip, a celebration, or simply a quieter way to see the caves.
Both of our ice cave tours can be booked privately:
• Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure: about 3 hours, age 6+.
• Extreme Blue Ice Cave Tour & Glacier Hike: 4.5–6 hours, age 14+.
Make it your own
Because the tour is just for your party, there's room to shape it around you. Tell us what you'd like and we'll tailor the day where conditions allow. The ice and the weather always have the final say, and your guide will plan with that in mind.
Our vehicles
You'll travel in our red truck. We keep all our cars clean and well maintained.
What's included
• Helmets
• Crampons
• Head lights
• Your own guide (tours are guided in English only)
Our tours visit natural ice caves only. They form again every winter, so each season brings new caves. The season runs from October to April.
