“One of the highlights of our trip to Iceland! The hike wasn't too strenuous, at no point did we feel we were being physically pushed but at the same time we covered so much ground. They took safety precautions serious, so at no time did we feel unsafe. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Our tour guide Daniel was fantastic. He had a wealth of knowledge on the glaciers and said he was happy for us to get as much from the tour as he felt the group was capable. You can tell Daniel is passionate about his job which only made our time on the glacier more exciting and…”

“Great experience, awesome guide named Sam. My family and I had a great time in our small group of about 12 (6 were our family). Our guide told us about the history of the glacier and the area. He took time to share safety tips and ensured that we were safe the entire time. The company’s equipment was great, we rented boots from them as well. Highly recommend.”

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.”

“Was a phenomenal experience got to see lots of great sites! Guides were fantastic and informative! Only issue I had was we had some young people that were so busy making sure the got their social video, they disregarded the rules and guides. That's not the guides fault, but to maybe avoid this I would recommend a private tour! Too many times we had to stop so they could be corrected! Was quite annoying when your in vacation! Otherwise a phenomenal experience!”

“Our guide, Lilly was AMAZING! She was energetic, fun and caring. She made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She was great with the adults (my wife and I) as well as our children (8&11). In fact I think my 8 year old is now wanting to be an ice-climber. As far as the experience itself, it is a must do in Iceland. If you don't have it on your itinerary, don't leave Iceland without experiencing it!”
