What you can expect
Meet your guide in the Glacier Lagoon parking lot by a bright orange truck. Hop into a powerful Super Jeep and drive for 20–30 minutes to reach the edge of the glacier, with scenic views along the way. Once you leave the main road, the ride gets bumpy, so strap in and enjoy the adventure.
At the glacier, get all the gear you need, including a helmet, headlamp, and crampons for your boots. Walk for 15-20 minutes across the frozen ice to reach the canyons and hidden caves. This walk is easy for most people, and no prior experience is required.
Step inside the glacier to see how nature has shaped the ice. Depending on the light and the weather, see colors ranging from bright blue to pure white. The glacier is alive and constantly changing, meaning every tour is a unique experience. Because the ice moves and shifts, the cave may look different from one week to the next.
The team checks the glacier every single day to find the most beautiful blue ice formations for you to see. Your safety is always the main priority, so you’ll only be taken to the best and safest spots available. After your time exploring the ice, return to the Super Jeep and drive back to the Glacier Lagoon.
