Itinerary
Once picked up at your chosen meeting location in the city, it’s time to continue on to the glaciers. The drive starts on the famous road 1 but soon we will make a turn to what seems like a no man’s land. Enchanting glaciers and mountains will surround us along the way. The Super jeep has no problem taking on the rough and rugged road but the drive is exciting none the less.
We will come to a stop near the roots of the Kötlujökull glacier and the view that greets us is otherworldly.  We will take on our crampons and helmets, and take a short walk to the opening of the ice cave. We might need to climb a few steps on ladders to the entrance of the cave. As the natural ice cave is in constant change, conditions can be different on each tour. The climb is, however, not difficult at all, and anyone in an average physical condition should be able to climb these steps. 
Beautiful layers of different colored ice and volcanic ash unfold from the ice as we come closer to the cave, painting impressive stripes in the glacier.  Your guide will tell you all about the history of the glacier, the ice cave, and the area around it making the tour educating and exciting all at once.
When we are back out from the glacier we will walk around and see if any smaller ice caves are accessible before returning back to our super truck. When the length of the daylight allows us (from 1st of February until 15th of November), we will swing by some majestic waterfalls. We’ll stop by the Eerie waterfall of Skogafoss which is located in the beautiful Skogar area and is also the inspiration to dozens of folklore tales. We recommend hiking up the right side of the waterfall to see the troll’s face that stares at the waterfall for all eternity after forgetting time and turning into stone admiring Skogafoss.

We will also stop (all year round) at the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall, the one you can walk behind. Seljalandsfoss is located on the Seljalands River which flows all the way down from the famous volcano, Eyjafjallajökull!

We’ll arrive back in Reykjavik around 8:00 p.m.

Note: Due to limited daylight periods, we are not able to stop at Skogafoss in wintertime (from 16th of November until 31st of January). Only from the 1st of February, throughout the Spring, Summer, and Autumn until the 15th of November do we stop at both of the waterfalls on this tour.
