Ecological disaster! To get there, it takes minimum 2 hours with a huge truck (we were 5 people for almost 50 seats). And over there, it is a cave made by heavy machines, still staying there, and nothing to see (except a man made church hotel in glass!). Ridiculous.

Even though man made, it is extremely well designed and accessible even for our young kid of 7 years old. Expensive but worth it for a once in a lifetime experience. We drive to Klaki base camp, but you can take the option of being picked up in Husafell. Interesting NATO vehicle to drive you to cave entrance and back.

Saw this glacier from 3 different vantage points in 3 different types of weather: (1) from afar at Thingvelier National Park when it was overcast - and resembled the creepy mountain from which the White Walkers emerged to attack Jon Snow and the Wildings (2) from nearby as I drove through the Kaldidalur Valley in a snow squall - and it just looked like endless, uninviting, white tundra on the eastern side of the road (3) from within on a bluebird sunny day as part of the guided tour from Husafell - and here you could experience its enormity. It’s a large glacier that is shrinking considerably each year, so catch it while you still can!

This is a must once in a Lifetime. The tour operators, Reykjavik Sightseeing are very professional. They are very environmentally and safety conscious. Highly recommended.

It was a complete day out with a lot of travelling but so worth it.
The journey to the top of the glacier took an hour in an ex-military vehicle with wheels higher than me!
Eventually in a centrally heated shack we were suited and booted in preparation for the weather. It was blowing a blizzard and we couldn't differentiate between the sky and land....very unnerving.
Snowmobiling across the glacier was fun but the secret ice cave we were taken to was awesome. Metres of clear ice was stunning.
The guides were brilliant and this is a 'once in a lifetime' trip.

Great experience: huge 4x4 limo pick-up from Gullfoss made short work of the rough roads, snow and ice. Raki (our instructor) was really friendly and informative. Crew that kitted us up at their winter station where great too. Didn't feel the slightest cold from then on.
Despite their appearance, driving the snowmobile was easy – a little heavy steering and would have loved to go a little faster and further, but a genuinely great experience. Spent some time in a man-made ice cave before heading back.
Do it if you can. We found bundling it in to our Secret Escape holiday package must have been much cheaper than booking on its own, but do it either way.

Waren heute im Rahmen eines anderen Ausfluges in der Eishöhle. Super Guide (englisch), fantasier Ritt mit dem Snowtruck und unvergessliche Eindrücke. Ist zwar verhältnismäßig teuer, aber für isländische Verhältnisse ok

HI, I am not sure if this trip is suitable for my daughter as she is suffering with severe regional chronical pain syndrome. in her arm. She is afraid to fall and hurt her arm on the snow as she is in constant pain with her arm. I am wondering if this is unsuitable activity for her to do & is there any company tours which goes straight to the cave. What company should I book this trip with bearing no hiking trips. THANKS
Rédigé le 13 février 2020
Probably best to avoid the snowmobile then. You are leaning alot and it can be bumpy. That said, we found the instructors really helpful on most of our trips so I'm sure if you contacted a good company and explained the situation they may be able to have your daughter be taken driven by an instructor. i'm no expert - only done it once - but hope this helps.

My family and I are going to Iceland in January 2020 mostly to try and see the northern lights. We will be doing a couple of sightseeing tours as well. Has anyone done an Ice Cave tour. Is it difficult I’m am 63 and in decent shape I was concerned about the level of difficulty to enjoy such a tour
Rédigé le 29 décembre 2019
Hi, I'm 63 too. We did the ice cave tour and it was very easy indeed. It's man-made and they give you grips to fit over your shoes to prevent slipping. You are guided round. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
We saw the northern lights in Myvatin but we also saw them at the harbour in Reykjavik. Fingers crossed for clear skies for you.

Hi,
I am driving from Sneffels Peninsula do Fludir and thinking of doing the Into the Glacier Tour followed by Geysir and Gulfoss. And, on another day, on the way back to Reykjavik doing Thingvellir National Park. Is this a good idea?
Thanks,
José Paulo

How far or how many hours is the drive from Reykjavik to the snowmobile area? How many people do the 4x4 trucks carry and is it recommended for people who are claustrophobic?
Rédigé le 9 janvier 2018
Probably about 3-4 hours from Reykjavik but it is WEATHER permitting! The 4x4 vehicles hold either 6 or even 8. We had a SIX-door one for our second day. They are NOT small.

Hi
Me and some friends are thinking of driving to see this man made cave, where is best to park? can we find a private tour guide there or pre book somewhere?
Rédigé le 4 janvier 2018
Hi, you can't drive out on to the glacier yourself, you need to book an excursion as they use a monster truck. There are several companies to choose from so either Google it or ask the hotel where you are staying to pre-book it for you.

How old do kids have to be for the tour? We are coming in July with kids between the age of 2 and 5. We are renting a car
Rédigé le 9 octobre 2017
is this suitable for kids? i have 4 year olds....also, do you need to go through a tour company or can you drive there on your own and pay for admission?
Rédigé le 23 août 2017
Hi spickle066, welcome to TA. Yes, you can bring your children, but you need to take a tour to go into the glacier. You could drive to the parking lot for into the glacier tour and just get on the large former military vehicle at the information center in Hüsafel next to the Hüsafel Bistro. I understand it could get very expensive with several other people in your group, but taking the bus from Reykjavik to and from the glacier is very very nice. The bus company will have a great guide and driver to deal with any weather concerns, most notably extremely high winds (i.e. 60-100mph) and depending on time of the year you're planning to go, other things like brutal snow and/or ice storms that come in very very quickly. I live in Wisconsin and am familiar with winter, but Iceland can be a whole different subject altogether. You will have an opportunity for the local guide to take you to some other beautiful places that your group may not have known about.

We are thinking of coming snowmobiling on the glacier in mid may, but we're wondering if it will definitely be really snowy? A lot of the pictures that we have looked at on here look quite slushy/icy so we were just wondering if it would be like that on the whole glacier? or weather it's different at the start to the top etc
Thanks!!

Would you be able to share the contact details of the persons who arranged this glacier visit for u and share an idea about the costs involved. and do we have to start at R for this or can we meet them up nearer to the point.
