Description
Leave Reykjavík for a full day in West Iceland, where powerful geothermal activity, lava-field waterfalls and one of the country's largest glaciers create a varied route. Current product inclusions list Deildartunguhver, Hraunfossar, Barnafossar, Húsafell and a local horse-farm visit along the journey.
At the glacier, transfer to a specially modified vehicle for the ride onto Langjökull. An experienced guide then leads you through the man-made ice tunnel, revealing blue ice, deep layers and a perspective normally hidden beneath the glacier surface.
Unlike seasonal natural ice caves, the constructed Langjökull tunnel is offered all year. Required Reykjavík pickup is selected during booking, and the voucher confirms the exact vehicle, place and time for your departure.
Why choose Into the Glacier from Reykjavík?
Choose this option when you want the transport handled and prefer to combine Langjökull's all-year ice tunnel with West Iceland's waterfalls, geothermal landscape and countryside in one complete day.
