Vik & Ice Cave Tour
After breakfast, there is a transfer to Vik, a charming village nestled on the southern coast of Iceland. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, Vik is known for its stunning black sand beaches, which stretch for miles along the coastline and are framed by dramatic basalt rock formations. The village itself is small but welcoming, with colorful houses contrasting the rugged landscape. Myrdal, the broader area in which Vik is located, is famous for its dramatic landscapes, including the iconic Reynisfjara beach with its hexagonal basalt columns and towering sea stacks. The region is also home to the haunting Reynisdrangar sea stacks and the impressive Dyrhólaey promontory. You will meet the specialised guides at the base located in the town of Vík, for a round trip lasting approximately three hours to the Ice Cave. Transport is specially modified super jeep headed for Kötlujökull glacier, the one-hour drive each way is as much an adventure as exploring the ice cave itself. The route offers stunning scenery, albeit with a slightly bumpy road. Distinguishing an ice cave experience from a glacier hike, the former involves venturing inside and beneath the glacier, revealing mesmerizing clear blue hues, while the latter entails walking atop the glacier's surface.
