Ice Cave & Helicopter Tour – Skaftafell

When you arrive at Skaftafell Terminal, we’ll warmly greet you at our reception. Your pilot and glacier guide will review the flight route and conduct a safety briefing before we head out to the helicopter.

We’ll then embark on an exhilarating scenic helicopter ride over the sprawling glacier, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views in comfort. Our destination is Skeiðarárjökull glacier, part of Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. After landing, we’ll take a short walk to the entrance of our secret glacier ice cave.

Inside the glacier tunnel, you’ll marvel at the sapphire blue ice with its vivid shapes and patterns. The serenity and sense of wonder inside the glacier are truly magical. After our ice cave expedition, the helicopter will bring you back to Skaftafell Terminal.

• From time to time the ice caves change. They can even change within the season. For this reason it´s good not to expect to see them exactly as they are on the pictures. Many circumstances can be different, like for example the weather, the light or their size, which can change the whole picture. They are always beautiful and unique just the way they are!
