The Secret Ice Cave from Reykjavík

An exploration of the Secret Ice Cave on this small-group day-tour from Reykjavík. Located directly underneath the dormant volcano Katla, the ice caves of Kötlujökull (or Katla’s glacier) are a testament to the natural forces that have shaped this country.

On the way up to the cave you you can enjoy the unique surroundings of vast black sands mixed with mossy green mountains. Once there, you are greeted with an ash covered wall of ice, marked by the volcanic eruptions of the past. As you walk closer to the glacier, an enchanting opening will appear that will allow you to explore the insides of the glacier. The cave’s illuminating blue ice walls form a high contrast with the surrounding black ash and are a marvelous sight.

On the way back to Reykjavík, you will have time to explore the classic sights of the South Coast with a stop at the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. This is the only tour available that allows you to travel from Reykjavík to explore a natural ice cave and get back to the city in time for dinner.
