It is a highly...
It is a highly challenging, adrenaline-filled experience.
I didn't think I’d make it, but it is a wonderful hike with beautiful scenery.
I recommend wearing ankle-high boots; otherwise, you can rent them for an extra fee for greater comfort and safety.

It was a nice warm relaxing soak
We had some time as we were ahead of schedule so we got some last minute walk-in reservations on Viator. It was reasonable compared to the other big ones but it is just a very large pool with hot springs. It was nice and warm with a couple minute walking path to some smaller pools and a chill pool. They have an area to buy drinks of all types. Pro tip bring your own towels to avoid a hefty rental charge.

Iceland Hotses
Black Sand horseback riding was a beautiful experience. There were first time riders in our group as well as experienced riders. It is not an all out “do what you want” ride but rather a group experience. The horses are well cared for and very sweet. You do have an opportunity to experience the Icelandic sokk. Their personalities were unique and the tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful.

Don’t skip this experience!
This experience was great! Alex was our guide - he was personable and we really appreciated his knowledge. It was more than just a cave tour. The bus made a few stops for incredible scenery pics. The meeting point was easy to find with plenty of parking and a restroom close by if needed.

Loved this experience! We...
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!

Jeep and Ice cave adventure
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.

Cool to see with good history
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.

Something I never done before
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

Puffins and Puffins and more Puffins!
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!

Great ATV tour!
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!

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.

Hella awesome!
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.
