Description
Put the ice in Iceland with this trip to Langjökull glacier, the second largest glacier in Iceland. On this tour, your guide won't just take you to see Langjökull — you'll go inside it! Traveling by a modified glacier vehicle over the ice, explore the tunnels carved into the glacier -a true feat of engineering- and gawk at the ethereal blue glow of the ice. Learn about Iceland's history, geology, and glaciers that define much of the country's beauty from your expert guide. See crevasses an ice like never before on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. This day tour from Reykjavík includes stops at Deildartunguhver -the most powerful hot spring in Europe- and Hraunfossar, a beautiful waterfall with icy blue water flowing right from the glacier we will visit!
Tour Options
Itinerary
Deildartunguhver is a hot spring in Reykholtsdalur, Iceland. It is characterized by a very high flow rate for a hot spring and water emerges at 97 °C. It is the highest-flow hot spring in Europe. Some of the water is used for heating, being piped 34 kilometers to Borgarnes and 64 kilometers to Akranes.
Barnafoss is also known as Bjarnafoss, which was its previous name. Barnafoss is near Hraunfossar which burst out of Hallmundarhraun which is a great lava plain. Barnafoss is a waterfall in Western Iceland, about 100 kilometers from Reykjavík. Barnafoss is on the river Hvítá in Borgarfjörður.
Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 meters out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field that flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull.
Visit of a local horse farm
Explore the amazing man-made ice tunnel in Langjökull glacier. The biggest ice-tunnel in the world of a total of approx. 600 meter long.

In Iceland from Olney, Maryland
Our tour departed from Reykjavík to the Glacier. We did a few stops including one at a horse farm. That was very cool. You get to feed horses a pet them. The ride to the glacier in the big wheels truck was awesome. The ice tunnel walk was impressive. Our guide Happy was great in explaining the history of the tunnel. Yes, I recommend doing this tour.

Langjökull excursion is a must experience in Iceland
Buy food at the soonest opportunity at a pit stop. Sandwiches were really good at N1 Borganes. Tell the driver/ guide to tell you everything. Our driver/ guide Iga was just excellent. Bring power cord or power bank. You can charge on the van. Horse farm was fun. They served us tasty buttered rye bread & hot cocoa, tea & coffee. The Hraunfossar & Barnafoss were worth the walk, amazing series of waterfalls. Into the glacier was such an amazing experience: ride on the glacier & walking with crampons on the ice cave was so interesting & fun. Our ice cave guide Ryan was knowledgeable, personable & entertaining. He even sang at the last stop with a big heart arch decor & the acoustic was just perfect. What a memorable day tour.

10/10 Stars AMAZING!
Amazing! The jokes the tour guide made were very funny, we went with Yorgen/Hammer. The roof of the cave was leaking a little bit but made the experience a bit more fun trying to dodge the water. I also love how they gave us clamp-ons and waterproof shoes and jackets. I was able to drink the leaking water from the cave and it tasted very fresh. I also enjoyed when we were in the chapel and the tour guide turned off the lights and the room was pitch black. I would definitely go on this tour again. The only thing is the bus was a little cramped.

Glacier Ice Tunnels
Awesome experience getting to the second biggest glacier in Iceland and then experiencing its amazing ice tunnels. Our guides and drivers were also great. I would highly recommend this full day trip to anyone who has a free day in Iceland.

Best thing to do in Iceland… of best value too!
Our tourguide Ehsa from Artic Adventures is the most patient and caring person of our entire trip. He always put our needs and joy his top priority during the day by going extra miles to help us carry the luggage, help me with charging the dead phone, bringing extra cup for water, calling us in and out every snack break, and many many extra support on top. We (Mini and Annie) were extremely grateful for having him in Iceland. Ryan from the ice cave tour was also an extraordinary guide, who delivered concrete useful information about this special experience and it was so amazing to get to know him as a person (spoil alert: he will sing beautifully for you). All in all, this is one in a lifetime experience you definitely need to try at least once in Iceland!

Great views and Great Adventure.
This is a terrific experience. The drive up to the edge of the glacier is otherworldly - barren lava fields, dramatic waterfalls, stunning views. The ride on the glacier is fascinating. The walk through the tunnel was both beautiful and informative. Our guide Oli was awesome!
