Askur Ice Cave Adventure

Your adventure begins at the Myrdalsjökull Base Camp, approximately a 2 hour and 15 minutes drive from Reykjavík. Boasting the title of the nearest and most accessible ice cave to the capital, its unparalleled beauty awaits your discovery.

Depending on the conditions, you’ll take a scenic and thrilling ride in a 2-seater buggy or ride a snowmobile to the ice cave. There is no need for prior experience. However, you'll share a vehicle with your travel partner, and one of you must have a valid driving license.

Upon reaching your destination, you'll be outfitted with safety gear and provided with comprehensive information to ensure your exploration is both safe and enjoyable. Guided by our expertly trained glacier guide, you're set to embark on an enthralling exploration, delving deep into the glacier's heart.

Inside, the cave's dimensions unfold in a fascinating display of nature's artistry. As you traverse the cave, the pathway is mostly flat, a blend of snow, ice, and small rocks. Climbing is not required, making the journey accessible and enjoyable for all.

As the sole tour operator granted access to this hidden gem, we offer an exclusive passage into a world few have seen. Far from the crowds, this is an intimate encounter with one of Iceland's most majestic creations, a privilege reserved for those who seek the extraordinary.
