Tour Description
Want to experience the glacier in the most exciting way possible…and have some amazing photos snapped while you are doing it? The Ice Climbing Captured experience is for you. We will adventure through the deep crevasses of Falljokull while taking in some exceptional sights like the iconic icefall.
In regards to our instruction on ice, our day will start with a basic introduction on how to walk on ice and a basic climbing technique called front pointing. We will combine these two techniques and with a very easy ice climbing wall, we will put those skills to the test. Once you are confident, we will progress to different walls which offer various challenges until you are totally satisfied.
See you on the ice for your first ice climb!

Good to know
– Ice caves are a dynamic ever-changing natural phenomenon. Each year, old ice caves melt and new ice caves appear. Photos that you see of the cave at any given time on our website or any social media will not necessarily mean that is what you will necessarily experience on your tour. This makes each experience unique and special for our guests.
– This tour involves roughly 1-1.5 hours of total hiking. The terrain is very flat yet rocky and is relatively easy for a person of average fitness.
– Photo packages may sometimes take more or less than 14 days to edit. This is just our average turnaround time.
– Our Cancellation Policy can be found here.

Glacier Adventures
I hired Mike for 8 days of private guiding in March 2023. It was the adventure of a lifetime! We explored glaciers, ice caves, and the Icelandic alpine. Mike is a charismatic and incredibly experience guide. He is also a great photographer. Finding a guide that can take you to amazing places, and also take great photos/videos of the adventures is extremely hard to find. I highly recommend Ice Pic Journeys and will use them again on my next trip to Iceland!

Private tour, with amazing guide !
Had a amazing time with these guys, I traveled solo and the group was only 3 ppl, amazing experience with a private guide. Definitely worth it, it was the highlight of my trip to Iceland! You get all the details and information you need, and if you have any questions, you can chat on instagram, and respond very quickly. This company treats you as a person, and not a number or a paying customer like all other tours !

Ice Pic Journeys approach is unique
We had our tour with Mike and I can honestly say our trip to Iceland would not be the same without this. We had the best time! Mike was very knowledgeable, sharing all different aspects about the cave we were and the conditions we would be experiencing. He was also very concern with our safety and aware of us and our surrounding. All of that while maintaining a very friendly interaction. The ice on the cake was the fact that their offer is unique, there is not another company in Iceland that offers the same experiences with a guide that is also a good photographer. Plus, we were indeed a very small group. While we were there I saw other tours advertised as “small groups” with 16-20 people, which was completely different than the very exclusive attention and experience we had with Ice Pic Journeys.

You must take a tour with Ice Pic!
Absolutely the best tour of our lives. My husband and I booked the ziplining experience on an iceberg and cave visit. Mike was friendly, funny, knowledgeable and an overall great guide. Time flew by, and it is hard to describe how beautiful the moulin selected by Mike for this adventure was. It felt like we were connected with nature. He took amazing professional pictures and made us feel safe and adventurous with the ziplining. This company is a must if you go to Iceland!

One-of-a-kind glacier experience!!!
My friend and I had an amazing experience with our two tour guides, Adam and Rögnvaldur. We hiked to stunning ice caves and took a lot of pictures but the best part was that we had the cave all to ourselves. After the ice caves, we finished the tour by zip lining on the glacier, which was an amazing experience! Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very customer oriented. I would highly recommend Ice Pic Adventures to anyone in the Glacier Lagoon area of Iceland.

Magical!
If you are considering visiting an Ice Cave, then do not hesitate to use this company. We went for the Early Bird Ice Cave tour with photos. We left the car park at around 8:15am and were the second group there. This allowed for a private and personalised tour of the Ice Cave with most of our shots just featuring us. We were led by Mike who was very knowledgable and friendly. He led the tour at our pace since we were travelling with an 8 and a 9 year old. He took lots of pics, even following some of our suggestions too. We received the pics in less than two weeks and they are phenomenal! If we return to Iceland I would 100% look into using this company again.

Moment Eternalized
We’ve had an amazing experience with Mike who was our guide. The ice cave is wonderful and we can’t express how cool was it. I proposed to my fiancé at the cave so it was very special. Mike took pictures of us and now we have this moment eternalized. We recommend a lot Ice Pic Jorneys!

My family of three recently embarked on a 6-hour glacier tour with Ice Pic Journeys, and it was nothing short of a spectacular experience. This tour agency not only specializes in guided tours but also in capturing breathtaking photographs throughout the journey.
Ryan coordinated with us through email, and he was super communicative and accommodating throughout the whole experience.
Our guide, Rich, was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and talented in his photography skills. He made sure to focus on taking natural and candid photos, making us feel relaxed and at ease. Rich was attentive to our needs and made a point to take us to isolated and fascinating locations that enhanced our experience.
The ice caves we visited were simply stunning, and Rich captured their beauty perfectly. He also took fantastic photos on the diamond black sand beach, creating memories we will cherish forever.
For our nighttime Aurora photography session, we were joined by Mike, who was just as amazing. He was upbeat, friendly, and encouraging, which definitely helped keep our spirits high despite the cold weather. Mike worked tirelessly until 1 am to get the best shots, even though he had plans the following morning. Their dedication to their craft was evident, as they even offered to continue taking photos past that point if we wanted.
At no point did it feel like they were cutting corners or giving anything less than their all. Our experience with Ice Pic Journeys was truly exceptional, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland and want to take home incredible photographs, don't hesitate to book a tour with Ice Pic Journeys.

This was by far the best experience I had in my entire Icelandic trip. Mike and Adam were incredibly friendly, professional and offered a unique adventure of the beaten path of other standard tours. The zip line/ice cave tour was incredible and I will be recommending everyone that travels to Iceland to check it out. Thanks for a phenomenal experience

Best tour experience ever! I booked two multi-day tours with Ice Pic Journeys and loved every second! Ryan and Mike are the best team. They are very professional, skilled, knowledgeable about Iceland and fun to be with. They were private tours, which were organized and customized just for me. The pictures are mind blowing and included in the guiding tours which is amazing. They know the best spots, the best times and the best poses. I liked it so much I went back 6 months later. I definitely recommend Ice Pic Journeys and I will go back again for sure!

Best tour experience and mind blowing photos. We did our ice cave exploration with Mike. He was very friendly, very good company and very knowledgable about Iceland. He was also very considerate of our 7 year old little one who wanted multiple stops on the way. The tour was a very private experience as it was just our family. We also went deep inside the cave where it was very dark and we were the only ones there. We found other tour operators on our way back which seemed very crowded.
The best part of choosing Ice Pic Journey is of course the mind blowing photos that they send tags and send you. It’s pure magical. The best souvenir for a trip that you will never forget!
Highly recommend them.

Can't recommend this company enough! We went on the ice climbing and ice cave tour and had an amazing time. Trym was our guide and really helped to make the experience for us! This was the highlight of our trip. He took amazing photos and was super personable. Having a private guide and photos to go along with your experience is really some that can't be beat. Will definitely be booking with them again on our next trip!
