Ride a Super Jeep from Vík to Katla Ice Cave for blue ice, volcanic ash, glacier views, waterfalls, and expert guiding.
“Our driver was knowledgeable, low key, and great fun. I don’t think he needs to drive on gravel roads with reckless abandon. Otherwise it was just a good tour but I think they need to control the number of visitors at any given time better - it was beginning to feel like Disneyland.”

Ride a Super Jeep from Vík to Katla Glacier for a small-group ice cave visit, glacier stories, wild views, and an intimate natural adventure.
“The trip to the ice cave was a great experience. There were only four participants and the guide. The trip there was well worth it. As soon as you leave Vik, you drive over volcanic tracks and feel like you are driving through a lunar landscape. Nevertheless, there are plants here and there. The guide explained everything around us very clearly and was able to answer every question in detail. The ice caves are created by solar radiation and do not go very deep into the rock. However, the colors are still fascinating. On the way back, we passed several film locations and had a view of the volcanic landscape.”

“I was a little nervous to do this tour because I don't do well when it comes to ice and I wasn't in the best physical shape. Then while we were on the tour there were some fear with heights, too. But our guide was incredible and helped me through it all. He made the tour a great experience! I was able to get passed the fear of being on ice and heights ( a little bit, haha). I'm glad I did it and would recommend this tour to anyone.”

Review of the Katla Ice Cave Tour from Vik, with 4WD scenery, glacier cave access, guide tips, pricing, fitness needs, and honest drawbacks.
“We had a great time! Our guide was funny and grew up hiking on the glaciers. The hiking part was moderate, so you need to be able to climb a small incline for at least 10 minutes (it’s not bad). The cave itself is very small but we got cool pics. Also, it is not the big blue cave you see in some pictures. That is elsewhere.”

Explore Katla’s changing ice cave from Vík by Super Jeep, with crampons, helmets, glacier views, and practical tips before booking.
“This trip was not worth the time or money. The ice cave was not so beautiful as to make it worth the hours in an-overcrowded Ford sprinter (not a jeep) with one butt cheek hanging off the side of the bench and a large group of Americans bragging about their banking jobs. The sun was setting when we got there so the lighting was bad for photos. The tour guide let the large group do whatever they wanted, leading us to spend a long time waiting as they took photos with and without their jackets on and in different poses and combinations of people.”

We had a great group. And we got to go on a bit of a wild fox chase and that added to the fun. Highly recommend this tour!”
