It was an incredibly... - It was an incredibly enjoyable trip. Our guide was incredibly funny and had a knack for keeping us in a good mood throughout the journey. He also shared a wealth of information about Iceland, including its history and the awe-inspiring ice caves and glaciers. Additionally, he has a charming little friend named Frosti, a cute polar fox. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. You’ll not only be treated to an impressive view of the glacier but also have a blast and, of course, meet Frosti! :)

Off-road Adventure - This was a great tour by our guide Daniel, who provided great information as we drove to the ice cave and played excellent music. The weather was rainy and overcast but the experience was fun, informative, and we still got to go inside the ice cave, overall an awesome tour.

a must do - what a fun experience!! the whole adventure leading up to the cave is what the experiences all about, the cave is relatively small due to it starting to melt but it’s still beautiful and worth visiting our guide was awesome. Highly recommend.

Best Day Tour EVER - Hands down the best day tour that I’ve ever had! Driving through surreal landscape accompanied by dramatic music choreographed by our humorous but knowledgeable guide, it exceeded all my expectations.

Amazing experience! - Our guide Daniel made the trip so much fun as well as informative, we had a blast both getting there and entering the ice cave (it’s small but in an glacier on top of a very powerful volcano), the landscapes seem out of this world, so beautiful…Highly recommended!

Fantastic time! - We had a fantastic time with Daniel, the man is bonkers but it made for a great trip! We appreciated that the tour was not just a drive to the ice cave and back, Daniel took the time to go through the history of Katla and the surrounding area. Loved trying our new favourite sport, ice yeeting

Reality of disappearing glaciers - The host anf jeep ride was great . The skeleton pile of ash of a once beautiful glacier is gone . The cave is a small hole now only meters long . It was a good learning experience and slap of reality of global warming and the significant impact it has had on Iceland. It should be renamed to set expectations of the clientele. I am lucky to have seen the glacier at all before it too will have a memorial plaque.

Epic place, poor communication - While our guide was great and the company was as well, the tour jeep arrived about 45 minutes late and we were convinced it had left without us (since we arrived only 5 minutes before departure time). Unbeknownst to us it was running late and we stumbled upon it only because we went down to the black sand beaches for 30 minutes and the. Walked up to get a bite exactly as they arrived. That didn’t stop us from sending multiple voicemails and emails about an expensive tour we were sure we missed. We even booked another tour with a competitor for later that day in a rush since we drove all the way to Vik. Which we were not able to get a refund from. So, while it was a once in a lifetime experience, it was not cheap (booked two tours) or without stress!
