What are people saying about Vik

Irina_F, Aug 2026

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

Kayaking on the Sólheimajökull Glacier Lagoon

Yulia_B, Aug 2026

Perfect “Fire and Ice” experience

I chose kayaking on Solheimajokull over Jokullsarlon for more personal and less touristy experience. And it was 100% perfect decision. It was closer to our Airbnb than Glacier Lagoon, so we were not tired from driving, the place is peaceful and quiet, and the guide, Tom, is very knowledgeable, ready to share, interesting to talk to and very helpful with all things paddling, kayaking and being safe. He also takes great pictures. The floating icebergs and the glacier carry the ash from the volcano eruptions, a close look shows the ash frozen into the ice as a layer, reminding me of epoxy art pieces or amber with prehistorical inserts inside the ancient resin. And on the day after solar eclipse I found a lava rock with embedded iron that looks like eclipse! I will post it among my pictures. True “fire and ice” experience.

We had a great trip w...

We had a great trip w Syra. She was an excellent guide and driver. I appreciated that she took us to a viewpoint before the glacier and gave us time to take photos. She was very knowledgeable about glaciers and was overall a wonderful host. Great booking and touring experience.

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike - Small Group Blue Ice Adventure

Laura_C, Aug 2026

Amazing views, didn't want to leave!

I wasn't sure what to expect but we had an amazing time. We went in August and really only needed a tshirt with rain gear. Our tour involved about a 4 mile hike, sometimes very steep. I noticed in our group and others that older people and kids struggled quite a bit, I would not really recommend those people join this tour unless they are in great shape as you will hold your group back. We were often stopping to wait for the families with kids to catch up and eventually our guide sent them back because they could not keep up or handle the terrain. I feel our tour was cut short from this, although the guide did her absolute best in handling it. On the glacier is incredible and breathtaking. You don't want to miss this tour, and I wish we could've done an even longer one. Be sure to stop at the Soup Company in Vik afterwards for a warm and comforting lunch if you love soup.

Highlight of our ring road trip!

This experience was one of the highlights of our two week ring road trip. I have been on many atv tours all over the world but this one was the coolest. We went through many different terrains. Black sand beach and going through mud was fun but then we got to ride through a pretty big river which I had never done. But the best was seeing the abandoned plane. I had only seen in in pics but it was so cool to see in person and hear the story about what happened and why it was there.

Daniel - The Best Guide (From Eric Kong, Helen Yeung, Audrey Kong, Hanford Kong (Kong’s Family) and Dabbie Yeung)

Daniel is the best guide / coach I have ever met. He guided us through the whole ice climbing experience carefully, and teach us all the essential techniques, knowledge and skills on the whole exploring. He also gave us very tender care and emotional support which is utmost important for us to break through and be our best. He is thus the best. Salute to him and I will recommend this first-class guide / coach to all my friends and any others. ❤️❤️

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. 🇮🇸✨

Rahul_D, Jul 2026

Wonderful experience with young kids

We had a wonderful and unforgettable experience with the Ice cave tour by Katlatrack. Our guide Ines was very knowledgeable and amicable. She took her time to explain all the relevant details and any questions we had. Not every company conducting the Ice cave tour allows 7 yrs old kids. Katlatrack does and Ines, our guide, took great care of all the young kids in our group including my daughter. Highly recommended.

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.

Thorsmork Super Jeep

Timothy_G, May 2026

Phenomenal adventure through Thorsmork

My husband and I spent 6 fantastic days in Iceland, and our super jeep tour with Midgard Adventure in Thórsmörk was perhaps the most incredible day of them all! Our guide, Torri (apologies if the spelling is incorrect) was amazing! He took us on an unforgettable trip through this stunning part of the country and packed it full of great stories, facts, hikes, views, and memories I will have for a lifetime. Torri was also excellent about ensuring everyone was comfortable and went at a pace that was good for them. If we wanted to press on to a particular area, we were encouraged to take our time and not rush. If anyone hit a point where they wanted to turn back or stay put, he was also very accommodating. I would heartily recommend this to anyone who wants a truly spectacular experience in the Icelandic highlands!

Olivia_T, Mar 2026

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.

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).
