You can’t miss this one! - I really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it if you’re visiting Iceland in the summer. The ice cave wasn’t super big, but it was more than enough to get the full magical experience! I learned that the caves you can visit change over time, which makes it even more unique. The trip to the cave itself was stunning. Beautiful landscapes all along the way. Our guide, Iskrin, was funny, knowledgeable, and also a great photographer, capturing wonderful memories for us. Thank you, Iskrin, for making this such a memorable adventure!

Ice cave adventure - Enjoyed our trip to the Ice Cave with Iskren. He was knowledgeable and funny along the way. The hike to the cave was half of the fun along with the cave itself. Iskren helped take great pictures along the way. The sheep on the mountainside were an added attraction. You won’t see anything like an ice cave very many places. Well worth the experience.
