Lava cave review
Very unique experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Need to bring waterproof gloves, shell, wear wool socks. I was worried that I would not be able to do this due to several tight spaces but it was very short and then cave opens up.

Incredible cave experience
Thristy (sp??) was a tremendous guide with vast knowledge of local info. The cave is not for those with any physical disabilities but was so worth it to crawl, climb, and scoot down ice chutes. Our guide held his composure well with a family of idiots in our tour group….

Great tour....but be aware of tight spaces and bringing stuff with you.
This was a very interesting tour....however, it will be difficult for someone to doif they are claustrophobic or in bad shape/lack mobility. This tour requires squeezing through a couple of tight spaces and sliding on ice. It was really fun....but something that we were not fully aware of when signing up. I had taken an expensive camera and backpack with me....only to have to leave my backpack in the trailer and have the guide help me navigating the ropes and my camera. I would have brought a small bag to hold my camera while on this tour....if I knew in advance. You are on your back a number of times during this tour. However, with that said, it was one of the best experiences that we had on our Iceland adventure and would not have wanted to miss it!
