About Blue Ice Cave Iceland

A guide for your day inside the ice

Blue Ice Cave Iceland is an independent guide for everyone who wants to walk into a natural ice cave in Iceland. Here you will find how the tours from the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon work, how they compare with the Katla cave near Vík and the ice tunnel in Langjökull, when the season runs, what the trip from Reykjavík involves, how a glacier hike or a snowmobile ride can be added, why the ice looks blue, and what to wear.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: Vatnajökull National Park, the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Safetravel and the Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue, the Katla UNESCO Global Geopark, Visit Iceland, glaciology research and the operators' own pages. The month-by-month climate figures are averages of the Icelandic Meteorological Office station Fagurhólsmýri between Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón; daylight is calculated for the lagoon. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide. If a source does not provide something, we do not write it.

An ice cave is never the same two winters running. That is why we tell you plainly what a listing promises, what it leaves open, and what the guides decide on the day.

How we make money

Blue Ice Cave Iceland is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
