All South Iceland Tours & Excursions in 2026

Loved this experience! We had so much fun on this excursion and experience the ice caves. Our guide Thema was excellent and very knowledgeable! She told us the history behind Katla as well as lots of other geological information about the caves, the volcano, and the area. It was an easy hike up the mountain to where the current cave was. I will say that since it was the end of the summer the cave was definitely nearing the end of its tour life, as the walls were melting and there was a river flowing through it so we couldn’t go all the way in. But we are happy we still got to see the blue ice!

Amazing experience that captured adventure and beauty. The jeep ride was so much fun with great spots for nature photography. The glacier and ice cave constantly evolving and changing. Very impressive and beautiful to see up close. Our guide was so fun. Gave us relevant information and answered questions.

Annsophie presented our show and she did a wonderful job of showing us not just the lava, but the history of the area and even the science concerning lava. It was really interesting and it's done in a small group, so everyone can see. While we had seen lava in some cracks at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we had never seen a larger quantity like this with it flowing. This is the closest most of us are ever to going to get to lava and it's pretty cool, so you should do it.

An unforgettable glacier hike and an experience unlike anything I’ve ever done before! The views were absolutely amazing, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, strong, and supportive throughout the hike. The hike was slightly challenging, especially with the rain, but that made the experience even more memorable. If you’re going, definitely bring good waterproof rain gear—and make sure to cover your backpack! Despite the rain, we absolutely loved our hike and would highly recommend this unique experience

By far the best part of the tour was the stop at the puffin colony. Our guide, V, knew this was a priority for most of us so maximized the time we could spend there. Awesome experience to see the puffins up close. The rest of the tour was great as well. We enjoyed the stops at the volcano and tales of how the town dealt with the lava flow. We also enjoyed the brief stop at the original settlement near the golf course. We saw a lot of the island. Definitely recommend this tour and V was a great guide full of personality!

This was a really fun experience! From the black sand beach, to the crashed plane, to the many streams you get to cross, it lets you see parts of the island you might not have otherwise. All with the beautiful backdrop of the mountains and glaciers. I would definitely recommend wearing their boots if you want to avoid wet feet. We wore our tall waterproof hiking boots which should have been fine, but got water in them anyway. If you wear your own boots, make sure to lift your feet up as high as you can while going through the streams, it will save soaking your socks! I would recommend bringing extra socks and an extra pair of pants since it seemed some of the coveralls were a little leaky and some people's pants got wet. Our guide Hinrik was great - very knowledgeable and entertaining. Overall, would definitely recommend!

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.

If you’re visiting Iceland, I highly recommend doing the Katla Ice Cave tour. It’s a truly unique natural wonder and something you won’t forget. The super jeep ride across the rugged landscape to reach the cave was an adventure in itself and really added to the experience. It was beautiful with all the snow. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the glacier and the area. They explained how the cave forms under the glacier and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour.
