Ice Wonder - As soon as the playlist started with the raw of Viking thunder, we knew this was going to be good!! Daniel was a great guide mixing it up between fun facts and great knowledge of the area, how the land was formed and even told us how his Armageddon Movie would play out….. The Ice Cave was a real experience, climbing up the ice path (dug out by Daniel) and taking in the natural wonder of the natural world. Definitely well worth the money !!!!

Katla Ice Cave - A brilliant day with a fantastic guide Daniel. The ice cave was wonderful, the scenery breathtaking. Daniel was knowledgeable, entertaining and even brought out his friend the Arctic fox for an amazing photo opportunity before getting back on the jeep. I couldn't recommend it more. Left with a huge smile.

Very cool activity to do with friends - This was a lovely experience! Our guide Daniel was great, funny and helpful and even gave some recommendations for sights to see on our way back to Reykjavik after the tour which did not disappoint. Things to know: You should wear boots but good sneakers would be OK too, you will just get them dirty/wet. In the summer the cave is fairly warm so you do not need layers. There is a 30-40 min drive each way to the cave. You will essentially hike up the glacier to get to the cave, it is short but be prepared. Bring a camera or charge your phone because the scenery is out of this world!
