Why the Ice Caves?

Because It’s Literally an Ice Kingdom
Once you step foot into an ice cave, you will instantly feel like the voyager feeing summoned to the set of an action movie with each of its glacier portrayed as a cast. The glimmers that waterfalls off the walls will leave you utterly mind blown. And not to forget, the caves were nature’s not so secret art project, built with unmatched discipline over centuries where water and ice rolled into one, beautifully carving the walls to give the caves a gleaming blue tint which leaves one utterly dumb struck.

A Freezer That’s Cooler Than Your Ex
I mean lets face it, we all love the idea of being in cooler places, and while enjoying these caves is cold – in a good way. While you walk around the glittering blue ice structures, it feels like you are actually in a freezer, but this freezer looks like a hipster gentrys fridge rather than yours. The fantastic aspect (which happens to be totally punned) is that each and every ice cave gets modified each year depending Iceland's ever shifting weather. So, every visit is a brand new experience, as nature makes sure it never gets boring. Why not keep each ice cave different from another?

A Journey Through Iceland’s Wildest Terrain
This specific tour will walk you through Vatnajökull National Park and believe me when I say, it is majestic, because we are talking about a glacier that blankets over 8000 kilometers of landmass. And worry not, you aren’t just aimlessly walking in snow. With a local guide, you will also get educated on the formation of ice caves, the glaciers effect on the rest of Iceland, and why exactly this frozen wonderland is without a doubt one of the coolest places on earth (yup I went there).
