Exploring the ice caves...
Exploring the ice caves on the glacier on an active volcano was a once in a lifetime experience! Hawk, our tour guide, was great! He was very knowledgeable about volcanoes and ice caves and took the time to answer questions so everyone left with a better understanding of both. Fantastic tour!

Unforgettable Katla Cave
The Katla Ice Cave tour was one of the most magical experiences of my entire Iceland trip.
The landscape itself was incredible—standing inside a natural ice cave, it felt like stepping into another world. Every turn revealed something new, from the textures and colors of the ice to the dramatic glacier scenery surrounding us.
What made the experience truly unforgettable, however, was our guide, Helgi. He was knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and clearly passionate about Iceland's glaciers and natural history. He had a wonderful way of making everyone feel comfortable while also sharing fascinating information throughout the tour.
One of my favorite memories was when he helped us create glacier rainbows in the ice. It was such a simple but beautiful moment that perfectly captured the wonder of the experience. Those little moments are what transform a great tour into an unforgettable one.
Helgi's enthusiasm, sense of humor, and genuine love for what he does made the tour even more special. By the end, it felt less like following a guide and more like exploring with someone who was excited to share one of Iceland's greatest treasures. And I definitely recommend you try the water.
Thank you for an amazing adventure. Of all the incredible things I experienced in Iceland, the Katla Ice Cave remains one of the memories I find myself smiling about most.

Beyong words
Floating between North America and Europe im some of the clearest water in the world is every bit as amazing as it sounds. The guides (specifically Nail) were knowled-eeâble, patient, and did a wonderful job helpine everyone feel comfortable in the cold water.
The visibility was unbelievable, and seeing the fissure from the surface felt like floating over another world. I may have accidentally consumed a few complimentary mouthfuls of Silfra water while adjusting my mask, and I can confirm it was very fresh. The aquatic plants, however were an unnecessary garnish but still the best 🥰.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience. It was one of the most unique adventures I've ever had and a memory I'I treasure for years.

The most magical day!
This tour far exceeded our expectations! We visited 5 beautiful locations and each one was better than the last. We absolutely loved getting to see places we wouldn’t have been able to experience without a super jeep and a guide! Thorsmork is beyond beautiful. The guide Simeon was wonderful - kind, knowledgeable and took great care of us. Lunch boxes (ordered separately from Midgard) were delicious and we highly recommend. We also had a great dinner at the base camp after the tour!

Definitely do it if the opportunity arises.
We were out and about with guide David for 3 hours. He told us a lot about the culture and customs of Iceland. Upon arriving at the ice cave, the formation and disappearance of the ice caves were clearly explained to us. It was a fun and interesting excursion, well worth it.

BEST Glacier Hike Tour in Iceland! 10/10
Our guide Lukas Was incredible! He was super organized, professional, fun, and took care to make sure that we were all safe and together at all times. His instructions and information were very clear and we learned a lot from him. It was perfect 10/10 experience. Can’t imagine it being any better. This was one for the record books. Would definitely recommend!

Animal lovers must do adventure!
The horses are so friendly and gentle. I had no riding experience (other than a mule ride at a different adventure) and it was very comfortable and I felt very safe. My guides were wonderful and helped me great some great photos. I went at about 18:30 when the sun was lower in the sky so the lighting perfect. This is something I would do again next time I visit the island.

Not to be Missed!!
This was Fabulous! Our family loved every minute of riding ATV’s across the Black Sand Beach & over river crossings! We even got to see the old US dc3 plane relic left on the beach and learned about its history! Teen Boys loved it as did my husband! I was the princess backseat rider and enjoyed it all so much. Highly recommend!

Family
Fantastic snowmobiling activity. We were a family of 4. Drove to Gulfoss waterfall meeting point. Seemless, fun transfer on the monster bus to the glacier.
Unique experience with fantastic views whilst on the glacier.
Worth taking drinks and snacks as roughly an hour to the base camp and back again.

Amazing private Golden Circle Tour
Our group of six had an amazing time on our private Golden Circle tour with BR Tours, booked through Viator.
Every stop on the tour had the most incredible stunning sights.
Our driver/tour guide Siggi was very informative, accommodating & friendly as well as an excellent,
safe driver. Siggi never rushed us. We were able to tour all sights at our own pace. We also had a wonderful relaxing lunch at the cute and cozy tomato/ horse farm.
Jon from BR Tours was my initial contact and responded to all questions without delay.
Jon actually met up with us at the waterfall area of the tour to provide our group with crampons so that we could safely walk on the icy pathways.
We really appreciated BR Tours going above & beyond which made for a most memorable experience.

Truly amazing!
Truly amazing experience! Did you know that far less then 1% of individuals experience this in the whole world?!? That’s crazy!
The guide is very knowledgeable about how the glaciers have receded in years past, how to keep you safest and also making sure you are comfortable learning the process.
As my tour bus driver said though “watch out for snow snakes, they aren’t like normal snakes…they tend to be your buddy Allen who throws a snowball at you.”
What a truly great time! Activity level wise not as hard as I thought but you will be hiking a bit along with using your leg muscles, back and arms a bit. You will be sore the next day if you are a wimp like me 😂

100% Good chance to watch puffins
I was not sure to watch puffins because it was already mid August and heard that there was little chance to watch them in main Island. However we really enjoyed to watch many many number of them in Heimaey Island.
Of course it is also good chance to know history and challenge of Heimaey Island. Ebbi provided good explanation of the island.
