An ice cave monster truck tour that starts at Gullfoss and drives up onto Langjökull glacier in a huge modified truck. Inside, you walk into a natural blue ice cave carved into the glacier itself.
This tour meets at Gullfoss and heads straight up onto Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, in a purpose-built monster truck with huge tyres for driving on snow and ice. It is a good add-on if you are already spending the day around the Golden Circle and want to get onto a glacier without a long drive to the south coast or east.
Once on the glacier, you walk into a natural ice cave, one known locally for its deep blue colour. Ice caves like this form and change with the seasons, so the exact cave and its shape can vary year to year depending on conditions.
The tour runs in winter, roughly November to mid-April, when the ice is stable enough for safe access. It is a relatively easy tour: most of the effort is done by the truck, with a short walk to reach the cave itself.
Yes, this tour meets on location at Gullfoss. It works well combined with a self-drive or private Golden Circle day.
No. Ice caves form and change naturally, so the exact cave and its shape vary from season to season.
No, ice cave access depends on winter conditions and the tour runs roughly November to mid-April.
It is rated moderate. Most of the distance is covered by the monster truck, but you walk on snow and uneven ground, with steps inside the cave. Crampons are provided.
Children must be at least 4 years old. Booster seats are available; add them to your booking.
Riding a monster truck to the ice cave was thrilling! The cave itself was stunning, with blue ice formations all around. A truly unique adventure!
