KATLA ICE CAVE TOUR

Did you know there is a green here in Iceland that exists nowhere else in the world? It’s true and we would love to show you some of the most interestingly shaped green mountains in the highlands!

This tour will give you to the opportunity to explore and photograph those amazing mysterious mountains, but first we will explore an ice cave that dons BLUE ICE!  Have you ever seen it?  This amazing ice cave and glacier presents you with black, white, and BLUE ice which is over 800’s years old.  This adventure is not for those who are claustrophobic (or those scared of the dark!), but most certainly for those who have and endless curiosity and exploring runs in their veins!  After the journey through the green mountains a blue ice, we will find our way to explore one of Iceland’s amazing black sand dune beaches!
