Um upplifunina

Picture yourself atop a vast, gorgeous glacier. The profound silence envelops you, broken only by the occasional distant crack of calving ice.

There’s a reason this small group glacier adventure, with a maximum of 8 people per guide, is our guides’ favourite winter trip!

This Season’s Unique Experience
  • You’ll start by visiting the same blue ice cave as on our ice cave tour
  • You’ll hike up Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, reaching ever more scenic glacier overview.
  • You’ll immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Iceland’s glacial wilderness, away from the main crowds in your small group
Past Season’s Highlights

Ice  caves are natural wonders that change every season. Therefore, ice  caves we’ve visited in previous seasons, such as the Blue Diamond,  Sapphire ice cave and Crystal ice cave, no longer exist or are  inaccessible.

At the beginning of each season our guides go out  and scout the best glacier locations, so we can share our glacial  wonderland with you – without compromising your safety.

Please note that we will not be the only group visiting the ice cave. We try to accurately represent the cave as you would experience and be able to photograph it yourself. Visit our Instagram @localguide to see photos we’ve been tagged in as well as those we have posted throughout the season.

What to ExpectGetting There – An Adventure in Itself

Embark on an adventure that takes you deep into Iceland’s glacial heart, where our custom 4×4 vehicles conquer challenging landscapes sculpted by ice over countless ages.


Glacier Exploration

Beyond the ice cave, your experienced guide leads you further onto the glacier. This extended hike offers opportunities for exploration,  photography, and a chance to pause for a snack. Prepare for some steeper sections, rewarded with even more breathtaking views.

Please note: While the glacier is vast, we cannot guarantee solitude,  particularly in the ice cave area where you may encounter other groups.

Please wear warm and waterproof outdoor clothing, a hat and gloves. We recommend thicker, woollen socks, avoiding cotton clothing and bringing layers.

Hiking boots can be rented on location for 1500 ISK.


A small backpack for an extra layer, water bottle and packed lunch is recommended. 

This tour is a subject to 72h cancellation policy with a full refund.
