Our Secret Lagoon

Checked in at appointment time. Watched a short video before removing footage. Then went to changing rooms with lockers to shower before putting on swim suits. Glad we brought our own towels. Two lifeguards were on duty. It was a peaceful and relaxing experience. Not as commercial as other lagoons.

Ice Cave by Katla Volcano Super Jeep Tour from Vik

Juan_G, Jul 2026

An unforgettable first ice cave experience

This was my first visit to an ice cave, and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Hawk, made the experience exceptional. Friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, he combined fascinating insights about the glacier and Katla volcano with just the right amount of humor. He also explained how much the glacier has retreated during his years as a guide, adding an important perspective to what we were seeing. The Super Jeep ride was part of the fun, and once on the glacier, Hawk timed our visit perfectly so our group could enjoy the cave/glacier without feeling crowded. From the outside, the glacier appears almost black because it’s covered with volcanic ash, but stepping inside reveals beautiful blue ice layered with ash —a striking contrast that’s even more impressive in person. This was one of the highlights of my Iceland trip. If you’re considering an ice cave tour from Vík, I wouldn’t hesitate to book this one.

Surreal amazing experience

Not sure what I expected, but this surpassed everything. From the superjeep ride across the surreal lava field, walking up and across the glacier, and of course walking in through and around some ice caves. The views.are spectacular. The experience is from another world. Highly recommend, despite the steep price.

Fun glacier experience

Our two families of mine including our children ranging from 15 to 23 thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Our guide made us feel comfortable, safe and made it fun along the way. We highly recommend this activity to those visiting the southern peninsula.

Westman Islands Volcano and World Largest Puffin Colony Tour

Puffins Excursion

This excursion was truly extraordinary. We had the incredible opportunity to see the puffins, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our day started a little shaky because the tender boats were delayed, which caused us to arrive later than expected. Despite that, Vjeran and Yarek waited for us, and their kindness and professionalism completely turned the experience around. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun and interactive from start to finish. Their outstanding customer service and genuine care made this one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Vjeran and Yarek for making this an unforgettable adventure. We truly appreciate everything you did!

Katla Ice Cave Tour from Vik Small-Group Guided Adventure

Mishonna_L, Jul 2026

Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Katla Ice Cave tour with Gravel Travel was one of the highlights of our Iceland trip. The ice cave itself was spectacular, and we were fortunate to have beautiful weather (above 20°C & sunshine) and a small group of just 14 people, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the cave without crowds. The scenery outside the cave was equally breathtaking, with rugged green cliffs contrasting against the vast black lava sands. Every turn seemed worthy of a photo, and the landscape truly felt otherworldly. A special thanks to our guide, Gunnar, who was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of great stories. His sense of humour made the experience even more enjoyable and helped make the day memorable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting south Iceland and looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. 🇮🇸✨

The tölt was so fun on the way back. The guides were all extremely helpful and kind! We even got to see puffins flying around - so fun!

Katla Volcano Ice Cave - Super Jeep Tour from Vik

Jenny_A, Jun 2026

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.

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!

Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss

Catherine_I, Mar 2026

One of our favorite...

One of our favorite experiences in Iceland. The glacier feels like another planet and zooming around on the snow mobiles is such a fun and unique experience. If you book for two you will share a snow mobiles but you get the opportunity to sway halfway, which also gives you both a turn to look around and enjoy the surroundings.

Lava Show Vik Admission Ticket

Leslie_T, Feb 2026

Land of Fire and Ice

Lava show in Vik (guided by Luis) introduced us to volcano science and Katla geopark. It was a nice way to learn a little about the area and its relationship/history with the volcano. We were going to explore the Katla geopark/glacier the following day, so the show gave me more appreciation for the landscape, the history, and the residents. Plus it was nice to sit back, share a beer during the show and remove some layers due to the rising heat of the room. (And the soup next door is pretty tasty too).
