Blue Ice & Glacier Hikes from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Explore natural blue ice on Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, on this guided small-group adventure. Travel by 4x4 towards Breiðamerkurjökull before stepping onto the ice for a glacier hike to the best blue ice formation of the day—whether a cave, tunnel, or canyon. Join Local Guide for the ultimate flexibility. Each tour is unique. Our certified glacier guides assess conditions daily to select the safest and most impressive features, often accessing less crowded areas while maintaining the highest safety standards. Expect a 2.5–4 hour experience including up to 5.5 km of hiking, with stunning views of the surrounding glacier. No previous experience is needed, but a reasonable fitness level is required.
