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!”

Hike fresh lava at Fagradalsfjall with a local guide, then visit Grindavík, Seltún, and Kleifarvatn on a small-group Iceland tour.
“We got lucky to get Oddi as a guide. 100% hands down the best guide we’ve had on an excursion. Outrageously knowledgeable and courteous of all the people on the excursion. He does this hike all the time so he knows EXACTLY where is safe and where isn’t to walk when you’re on the volcano surface. Very unique and awesome experience doing this tour. Just be warned the hike up does take effort and time so prepare yourself with snacks, water and proper weather gear just in case Mother Nature turns sour. Does get extremely windy as you get higher on your hike be cautious of that. Would HIGHLY recommend…”

The ride was smooth and we may book again for another adventure this trip. Feel free to check the videos on IG: @JYoffe”

“This was a fantastic addition to the family Iceland trip. I can not say enough about the Viking Rafting experience, lodge, equipment, team, and value. The directions getting to location were spot on and not too far off the ring road (Highway 1). We were greeted upon arrival and they have a fun clubhouse to hang out, eat snacks and drinks that we brought and played darts and games available while we waited. The rafting guides gave a great presentation on what to expect for our 10 and 13 year olds who were first time on the river. The equipment was up to date and all safety for our family…”
