Iceland · ICE CAVE TOURS
Natural caves are a winter product: they form fresh each year and close when the melt makes them unsafe. The 15 below cover Katla under the ash, the blue caves under Vatnajökull and the man-made tunnel that runs all summer, with the drive time each one asks of you.

“Amazing sight to see! I was worried that in late May, most of the caves would be melted and not much to see. But we went through an amazing cave and hike through the glacier. Didn't quite need gloves or toques but hiking shoes helped. One person had running shoes and he managed fine since they gave out spikes for your shoes. Pricey for a whole family but definitely worth doing!”
Explore Katla’s natural ice cave from Vík by Super Jeep, with crampons, helmets, glacier views, and a certified guide.
“Incredible, other-worldlike experience! There was more hiking than we expected (one family member was older) and maybe less time in the cave itself. But amazing scenery and we could take it slow, and the provided crampons were invaluable. Definitely needed fully waterproof jacket/pants that day, and I was happy I brought hiking boots. Our guide Natalia was fantastic—so much great information. Would highly recommend thus tour!”

“Everyone agreed this was one of the coolest experiences of our lives. Simeon was an amazing guide, knowledgeable and attentive.

It is a pretty active experience and wouldn’t recommend for someone with issues with walking and agility. It was a blast!”

Explore Iceland’s Golden Circle, South Coast, glacier, ice cave and Northern Lights on a packed 3-day tour from Reykjavik.
“We were well taken care of by our guide Bran. He has good driving technique and clearly explained the itinerary, the time to next spot, toilet break etc. The tour minibus is very comfortable. He brought as to more attraction than the schedule! The accommodations are nice and sleeping time is adequate. The most stunning spot is the glacier hike, just like walking on another planet as in the movie interstellar. The waterfall is amazing, better bring your own raincoat or you can rent one on the site. I highly recommend this tour if you’re going to explore the southern part of Iceland in 3 days.”

Review of a two-day Iceland South Coast tour with waterfalls, Diamond Beach, Glacier Lagoon, overnight stay, and a blue ice cave visit.
“If you want to maximize your sightseeing on the south coast, this is the right tour. Kristoff (Kiki) was a terrific guide and so incredibly accommodating. From the waterfalls, to the black sand beach, to the glacier lagoon, diamond beach, and ice cave - all were top notch. Kristoff even sprinkled in an impromptu trip to the Yoda cave for my 14 year old. High marks for this experience.”
