Early Bird Ice Cave with 3 Professional Photos
Overview
We are the only tour company in Iceland that offers photo packages with every tour. Also, we limit our group size to 10 guests, which is the smallest of any glacier operator. Each person will receive 5 professionally edited photographs sent via Google Drive within the week after your hike. These include personalised landscapes, portraits, and group shots from your adventure.
Get to the Crystal Ice Cave before all of the other companies fill it up with hundreds of people! Our Early Bird Ice Cave Tour has you waking up before everyone else and setting off toward the glacier to welcome the day. Your guide will lead you onto Vatnajokull Glacier and have you arriving at a much quieter ice cave with few to no people inside of it. Being one of the first to arrive at the ice cave allows you to enjoy a more personal experience with the ice.
