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

Amazing tour and guide - I don't review a lot, but Daniel and his partner were amazing. Very funny, informative with a killer Playlist. He clearly is passionate about what he does. Highly highly recommend Gravel Tours and book out of VIk to get Daneil

This is the must do experience of Iceland - We had a bit of trouble finding the pick up location (behind Icewear bulding in Vik) and vehicle didn't arrive until a few.moments before tour...so be patient. Daniel was a fantastic guide. He plated "Viking pillage" music for our drive to the volcano and stopped at great photo spots along the way. Hike to the cave was short. Danile provided tons of information aboit how the glacier was formed and what will happen when Katla next errupts. We had plenty of time to explore the cave and take amazing.pictures. We did not see the arctic fox, but Daniel had a special treat for us at the end of the tour (I'll keep it a secret to not ruin for others). High point of our trip. No way to explain what it feels like to be on top of Katla.

Entertaining 4 wheel drive trip and an ice cave to boot! - Daniel was an amazing guide. His Viking music really topped off the atmosphere! The ride in the huge Mercedes was so fun... I had a big smile the whole time. Daniel's humor really made it a fun trip but his knowledge of the area and background of ice caves was also great. The ice cave itself was a little disappointing, only about 15 feet deep. Near the end of the excursion, Daniel gave us a little surprise voyage!

A trip to the cave. I can not rate it - The road to the cave is incredible. But the cave itself not like the photos. A little cave maybe 10 mts long.
