Scenery out of this world and a brilliant and informative trip. - Amazing morning. Our guide and driver Gunnar was really friendly, informative and entertaining. The scenery was out of this world and we had plenty of time to explore the amazing ice cave. We even had a special treat experience on our way back. Brilliant!

Kayla Ice Cave, Small but Mighty - The trip to and from the cave was a cool experience in a massive monster truck. The cave itself was smaller than we expected but it was really interesting. Guide gave everyone ample time for photos and gave advice on the best way to take them. Mid day was best time to go, the winter light was perfect.

Davy and the great Glacier! - Our party was large enough that we got our tour all to ourselves. Our tour guide, Davy (David) was absolutely Amazing and one of the highlights of our trip. He was very informative and extremely personable. He shared his experiences with us and a lot of the great folklore of the land. Thank you, your very favorite Viking family... Yes - one of us left a faceprint in the slide of the glacier! Thank you, Kim!

Great way to get off the main road and tour spots! - Had a great time! Our guide was funny and had great info to share. He took the time to chat, not just roll off some facts from Google. Dont expect an ice cave that's 500m deep... remember, enhanced social pics foks post can make something look very different than reality. But if you want to see nature in its truest form, and can appreciate the wonder of how this is made and changes, you'll enjoy this up close look at Katla. Learning about its formation and how caves move and close/open each year is really interesting. Off roading to get there and walking on massive ice formations was fun too. Great way to see "raw" Iceland without a tour buses of people surrounding you.

The best experience - you have to book! - Gravel Travel are INCREDIBLE. We did the 9am tour today and we were very lucky - the only ones on the tour and the 1st snow of the season! There was nobody at the ice cave, and we got to spend so much time in there and take (too many) photos and videos…. The most amazing experience. As well, our guide was amazing. Lots of interesting facts on the way to the ice cave, stopping for some pictures on the way and super friendly! Thank you.

Totally worth it! - We took the Katla 3hr cave tour and it was really good. We had Gunner as our guide and he shared some great stories and provided a well informed tour. The tour was a hands on experience. Incredible scenery outside of cave. Totally worth doing.

Very good experience. - The experience is very cool, somewhat complicated access through wooden boards. The guide's fine. They should take Spanish speaking routes. But it's worth it.
