Into the Glacier Tour from Húsafell

Did this tour with my wife and 3 kids: ages 2, 5 and 7. The kids absolutely loved it (and us also of course) and we especially loved to see how much fun the kid had on the tour. Was a bit nervous for the jeep ride with the kids but they absolutely loved it. We even saw an arctic fox on the way and they were in awe. When we arrived at the glacier it was very windy and cold but we went straight to the tunnels where it felt warm and no wind at all. Walked though the tunnels and it was simply amazing! will definitely be going on this tour again next year when we bring my parents and siblings to Iceland.

really informative and great guide. the jeep ride was great and we saw an arctic fox on the way. it was amazing waling into the small tunnel and then seeing the huge ice cave all under the glacier.

Incredible experience with our family. We were traveling with two children 4 and 6 years old and were not able to do the natural ice caves, but we were very much happy that we decided to go on this tour as it was the best experience. The tour is very kid friendly and had people on all ages. We had the best time and would recommend this for anyone traveling to Iceland with their family!

The ice tunnels were incredible! Walking through layers of blue ice was like being in another world. Our guide shared so much about the glacier’s history and made it a fun, educational experience. Highly recommend this unique tour!

Absolutely loved this tour with my family!

We joined the tour from Husafel, which is an easy drive from Reyjavik. The driving directions were specific from the tour company...use the coordinates and route they suggest. Prepare for a long tour end to end 3-4 hours. There are bathrooms in Husafel and at the basecamp on the glacier, so plan your potty breaks accordingly. The drive from basecamp to the cave on a retired 1980s missile launch vehicle was cool. Our guide was informative. The trip inside the glacier was well organized and safe. Do take water proof boots or borrow the shoe covers at basecamp. You'll need a water resistant jacket with hood or a poncho since water drips or pours from some areas inside the cave. There are also puddles inside the glacier that are deeper than they look...particularly in the "fairy lights" section...you'll know when you get there. Bring a hydroflask or other container to gather the glacier runoff inside the cave...some of the cleanest water you'll ever taste. Our family of 6 really enjoyed the entire experience! Would highly recomend.

Very fascinating experience- having the ability to go inside the glacier and learn about how they are formed was really interesting. Make sure you have waterproof clothing, hats, and gloves.
