The sweet, friendly and incredible Ice Caves in Iceland on the shower day are inspiring every minute. - The amazing Ice Caves Iceland brought my wife and me to see, walk by spikes on the dangerous path and experience emotions. Thank the safety professional of Ice Caves. We love the best Ice Caves.

Cool photoshoot - Cool experience, but it felt like a photo shoot. You just walk into the cave and take photos. That’s all. Tour guide Axel was a very sweet man who gave us lots of info and seemed to love his job.

If you’re looking for blue ice caves, don’t book this tour - The photos presented do not match the tour we went on. We understand that the caves are constantly changing but all the photos presented were of the blue ice caves. It wasn’t until we had gone on the 30 minute car ride that our guide told us we were visiting the black ice caves. He mentioned that they wouldn’t sell this excursion if they had put the real photos up. Do yourself a favor and book through a different guide and explicitly ask what caves you are going to. This was false advertisement and so disappointing. This was on my bucket list for 10 years and we came from San Diego to experience the beauty of the blue caves. Not only was it time and distance but the amount of money spent on flights, hotels, and food, was unreal.

Black, not blue - The cave is black, not blue in the picture. The tour guide is awesome though. Our car also broken down at the end. It took more than 4 hours to see a black ice cave. Disappointed and wast of time
