About This Katla Ice Cave Tour

Your Katla Ice Cave Tour begins with pickup in Reykjavík. Enjoy a scenic drive along Iceland’s South Coast while your expert guide shares stories about Icelandic history, geology, and folklore.

The main highlight of this tour is the exploration of the Katla Ice Cave, located beneath the mighty Mýrdalsjökull Glacier. Equipped with helmet and crampons, you’ll enter a frozen world of deep blue ice formations shaped by volcanic forces beneath the glacier. This natural wonder exists due to the powerful Katla volcano hidden under the ice cap, creating a rare combination of fire and ice.

After your glacier adventure, the tour continues to Vík í Mýrdal, Iceland’s southernmost village. Stroll through the charming town, visit the hilltop church Víkurkirkja, and admire nearby black sand beaches.
