Katla Ice Cave Super Jeep Tour

Get a chance to experience a world completely covered with ice.

Join this unforgettable tour to see and experience the world’s rarest natural wonder - Iceland’s majestic glacier.

Glaciers formed during our previous ice ages, when temperatures dropped worldwide. Nowadays only a few countries in the world can enjoy the stunning glaciers - including Iceland.

Sólheimajökull is a beautiful outlet, which is the most accessible glacier from Reykjavík.

It is also known for being the Glacier of Fire & Ice, because of all the ashes covering and mixing up with ice from the previous volcanic eruptions. Underneath the glacier lies an active volcano Katla, which erupted last time in 1918.

It is believed that Katla should erupt within the next few decades, therefore completely melting the ice. However volcanoes are highly monitored in Iceland, making it absolutely safe to travel in the area, hike on a glacier, and explore the wild ice caves.

Join this spectacular tour, and get a chance to hike on a real glacier!
