Description
This Katla Ice Cave Super Jeep tour from Vík is made for travellers who want a shorter but dramatic South Coast adventure. Instead of spending the whole day on the road from Reykjavík, you meet closer to the glacier area and head toward the ice in a capable Super Jeep.
Katla ice caves are known for their powerful contrast: blue ice, black volcanic ash, glacier textures and the raw atmosphere of Mýrdalsjökull. It is a very different experience from simply viewing a glacier from a distance.
Choose this tour if you are travelling the South Coast and want a compact ice cave adventure with big visual impact.
