Overview
We are the only tour company in Iceland that offers photo packages with every tour. Also, we limit our group size to 10 guests, which is the smallest of any glacier operator. Each person will receive 5 professionally edited photographs sent via Google Drive within the week after your hike. These include personalised landscapes, portraits, and group shots from your adventure.
Get to the Crystal Ice Cave before all of the other companies fill it up with hundreds of people! Our Early Bird Ice Cave Tour has you waking up before everyone else and setting off toward the glacier to welcome the day. Your guide will lead you onto Vatnajokull Glacier and have you arriving at a much quieter ice cave with few to no people inside of it. Being one of the first to arrive at the ice cave allows you to enjoy a more personal experience with the ice.

Meet your guide at the Glacier Lagoon Car Park by the cafe and restrooms.

Totally worth it!
Published on Feb, 2025
This trip was amazing! While the cave is not as blue in the winter morning because there’s no light outside our guide Julien brought his own and truly made it memorable! He was really knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole time. We were very lucky and the only people who signed up for a morning tour so we had the cave to ourselves and it was truly incredible! Julien also took great photos! Highly recommend this tour

Amazon natural formed cave with a beautiful short walk over the glacier (the glacier gives interstellar vibes). Once we arrived at the cave proceeded to have amazing pictures from our tour guides, which we received shortly after getting back to our country.
It really stands out the different shades of color you can see inside this cave.
Dario was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable, amazing attention, definetely recommed ice pic for your tour.
Experience of a lifetime!

I definitely recommend the early bird tour, being there before the crowd was so worth it. Had a lot of fun getting up close and personal to a glacier. I hope to see it again in the summer one day soon. Oh and the professional pictures came out absolutely perfect!
An amazing day with our amazing guide Adonis!

Had an amazing day on the glacier, couple of days ago!
We were lucky with the weather, sunshine and no wind and our guide Adonis from Greece, took us to a beautiful ice cave!
We were early and the very first ones there so we had plenty of time for pictures. His knowledge and stories made our trip unforgettable! Totally recommended! IcePic Journeys you rock!
Adonis thank you so much for the day!
