Skaftafell: Ice Cave Tour and Glacier Hike - Starting at Hof, close to the glacier

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,746 reviews · 4 hours · from $165Our pick

Review of Skaftafell’s four-hour glacier hike and natural ice cave tour, with expert guides, gear, hot drinks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“We had the best time on the Ice Cave Tour and Glacier Hike! Our guide was from the Czech Republic and he was such a legend! He brought such good vibes to the group and made the whole experience even better. He also took the time to talk to us about the effects of global warming and how it’s impacting the glaciers, which we thought was really important. Coming from New Zealand, where you can’t just hike straight onto a glacier like this, it made the whole thing even more special for us. An experience we’ll never forget. We would 100% recommend! Ngā Mihi Nui ❤️”

“Our first day in Sicily was a food tour with Kate, and it completely changed how we experienced the island. She's warm, genuinely friendly, and makes you feel like you're exploring with a close friend. Her passion for Palermo is contagious – you can't help but be excited about everything she shows you. This wasn't just about tasting amazing food. Kate helped us understand the city's soul and made us feel truly welcome. By the end of the tour, we didn't feel like tourists anymore. If you're visiting Sicily, do this tour. Kate will make sure your trip starts off perfectly. To Kate: We love you! Thank you for an…”

Hike across Vatnajökull to a remote blue ice cave near Jökulsárlón, with a guide, 4x4 ride, glacier gear, and small groups.

“This was the most incredible experience. I choose this tour based on the fact I wanted a small group feel, with an emphasis on adventure. The tour lived up to every previous review and more. The guides were INCREDIBLE. We felt so safe but also were charged with adrenaline seeing and entering into the unknowns of the glaciers. The ice caves were amazing, and the story telling of the glaciers made the trip feel once in a lifetime. The guides had so much pride in their profession and it made me feel so grateful. We purposely drove 3.5hrs for this tour as opposed to something closer and I don’t regret…”

“The tour was amazing from the start to the end. Our guide was very friendly and kept making sure everybody was okay. He even took care of people who couldn't swimm. The hike was just the right length (but don't forget sunscreen). The equipment that we got was complete, mostly intact, and the right size. The abseiling just the right amount of scary, and the caves themselves were breathtaking. Our guide provided very interesting explanations and made sure to tell us where to step, so that we could get around safely. The water in the cave was very cold but the suits kept us warm enough. All around a very…”
