From Húsafell: Into the Glacier Ice Cave Adventure

2.From Húsafell: Into the Glacier Ice Cave Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 718 reviews · 4 hours · from $176Best value

Ride a monster truck across Langjökull and walk inside a massive ice tunnel on Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Family-friendly, guided.

“Wonderful activity! I loved the trek up the mountain , felt like a real ice climber! Ice caves were beautiful, although you only spend about 2-3 minutes inside the ice cave. The real adventure is the glacier hike and colors that you don’t get to see elsewhere. If you want a true cave time, go to Húsafell ice caves but I’d try both as both are uniquely great experiences”

3 days from Reykjavik through Golden Circle and South Coast, with glacier hiking, blue ice caves, and Northern Lights chances.

“This was such a cool experience! I was traveling by myself and figured it would be a lot safer to be with a group, and this tour had all the things I wanted to do. The hotel/motel rooms were hit or miss, with one being pretty meh, but another being really nice. I loved that the hotels had common areas where travelers could hang out together. I made friends with a couple of my fellow solo travelers and we had a lovely time. I did this tour in early November but somehow barely got rained on. The glacier hike was so cool and I can now say I have climbed…”

“Incredible trip with Arctic Adventures - well planned out, organized, and jam packed with amazing activities. The weather was spectacular for our 3-day tour, permitting amazing views of the landscape and surrounding glaciers. Be prepared to do a moderate hike with some incline during the summer months. The glacier hike was mostly a quick walk to the ice cave, but the cave made this stop worth it - otherworldly and magical!”

Katla Ice Cave and South Coast waterfalls in one long day from Reykjavik. Super-jeep, crampons, Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Vik.

“Overall the tour was good and our guide was excellent. The waterfalls were amazing along with black sand beach, but Katla was just not worth going out of the way for. The ice cave itself is small and short. It certainly is different than a lot of the videos and pictures from the past are. It’s not like it was two or three years ago.”
