Experience glaciers up close and walk in the footsteps of lava

Are you after a winter adventure in the Land of Fire and Ice? On this 5-day active winter trip to Iceland, you’ll walk inside one of the country’s largest lava tubes. The next day, you’ll be whisked up onto a glacier by super jeep.

From there, you’ll jump onto a snowmobile and ride the glacier’s surface. And you’ll also have the chance to explore an ice cave underneath another glacier. All with time to hunt down the Northern Lights and spend some time exploring Reykjavík.

If you’re an epic adventure lover, you’ll feel right at home on this trip where you’ll spend almost as much time below ground as above it.

This morning, you’ll have the chance to actually walk inside an extinct Icelandic volcano. Stand inside the Raufarhólshellir cave, a hollow tube in the rock where lava would once have been rushing by. As you walk through the widest lava cave in Iceland, you’ll notice colorful rock formations in the walls left behind by the eruption 5,200 years ago.In the afternoon, you’ll return to Reykjavík and have time to continue exploring the city. Why not unwind with a coffee and slice of cake after your expedition?

In the evening

Spend the night on a magical Northern Lights hunt! Included with your package is a large group bus tour to a dark-skied location that’s perfect for spotting the lights.

You also have the option to upgrade to a small group excursion for a more intimate experience, or even a trip via super jeep or boat if you’re feeling adventurous!

Good to know: The Northern Lights (also called the Aurora Borealis) are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed, even with clear skies. The tour may be canceled if weather conditions are unfavorable, but you’ll have the chance to join the same or a similar excursion for free later in your trip.

Hop in your super jeep in Reykjavík. First, your driver-guide will take you to Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, the site of Iceland’s Viking-age parliament. It’s also the place where the European and North American tectonic plates are drifting apart.

Then you’ll head to Geysir, where the famous Strokkur geyser erupts 25 meters (80 feet) into the air. Here you can also see other geothermal formations like bubbling hot springs and mud pots.
Next you will round out the Golden Circle section of today’s tour by stopping at Gullfoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland.

Now you’ve whetted your appetite for adventure, you’ll head up onto the Langjökull glacier with your driver-guide. Your super jeep will navigate it with ease! Once you reach base camp, you’ll jump onto your 2-person snowmobile. Spend 1 hour exploring this mind-blowing glacial landscape.

You’re probably thinking you can’t get much closer to a glacier than this. Well, just wait for tomorrow.

Today, it’s time for your second super jeep expedition! This time you’ll be driven up onto the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, the fourth largest in Iceland. Put your glacier gear on and set off on a fully guided hike past spectacular ice formations and deep crevasses.

After a short while, you’ll reach Kötlujökull, where you’ll step into a jaw-dropping black and blue ice cave. This glacier sits on Katla, one of Iceland’s dormant volcanoes. Here you’ll see how the volcano and ice have interacted over centuries.

You’ll also stop at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which you can actually walk behind. And if you’re traveling between 1 February and 15 November, you’ll also stop at its bigger brother Skógafoss just down the road.
