    Overview

    Take an extended Super Jeep journey from Vík into Katla’s glacial landscape for a guided hike through volcanic terrain and a natural ice-cave visit.

    Katla’s natural cave and glacier terrain change continuously, so the exact route and appearance are never guaranteed. The minimum age is 12.

    The guide may change the order, timing or accessibility of stops when weather, roads, glacier conditions or local closures require it.

      Ride off road into the Katla glacier landscape while the guide introduces the area’s volcanic history.

    3. Extended Katla glacier hike

      Walk farther through the black volcanic terrain, canyons and glacier features than on the standard Katla route.

      Enter a natural ice cave only after the guide has assessed its current stability and access.

    5. End

      Return to Vík

      Travel back by Super Jeep to the original Vík meeting point.
