Reykjavik: Katla Ice Cave & Super Jeep Tour with Transfers

About this experience

This ticket secures a place on the Katla Ice Cave and Super Jeep Tour, a small-group guided experience departing from Reykjavik. The tour's guide leads the group by four-wheel-drive Super Jeep, the operator's vehicle for the journey, on the roughly two-hour drive to the south coast trailhead before descending into the glacial cave system beneath Mýrdalsjökull glacier. The cave was formed by the volcanic activity of Katla, one of Iceland's most active volcanoes, and its walls display layers of black ash and blue ice, a direct record of past eruptions. Inside the cave, the guide leads the group through the interior passages, pointing out ash bands, ice formations, and meltwater channels. Crampons and helmets are provided on site by the host. Each ticket covers the guided cave session, Super Jeep transport from Reykjavik and back, and all safety equipment. Departures run year-round, subject to glacial conditions. Vehicles are not sold through this listing. Any vehicle used during the experience is supplied by the operator and returned at the end.
