What are people saying about Vik

Ancient Historical Site Tour at the Caves of Hella

Sarah_E, Oct 2026

A Definite Must Stop!

My husband and I went on this tour & in our opinion, it's a definite must! We saw the flags on our way to Vik & knew that we wanted to stop by & check it out on our way back to Reykjavik. Unfortunately, I do not remember the tour guide 's name, but she was the great grand daughter of the man who purchased the land. The history of these specific man made caves was incredibly engaging especially since this was our guide 's heritage, so it was very personal. It was so fascinating to learn more about Iceland & honestly step into history. One of the caves is thought to be an original church, it was incredible! We wondered why an Iceland historical society isn't trying to preserve and study these caves more, especially with the ancient writing apparent on the walls. It's definitely worth a stop. We saw on our trip a lava cave, an ice cave, and now man made caves. All worth it!

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.

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.

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike – Adventure in a Small Group

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

Incredible experience as a solo female

I had the most amazing first ice climbing experience. Daniel and Lucas were incredible guides. They were knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and just genuinely wonderful people to spend the day with. I came out as a solo female, and I don’t think they even realize the role they’re playing in helping people rewire their brains and what they believe they’re capable of. There’s something really powerful about showing up alone to do something completely new and a little intimidating, and having guides who make you feel safe, capable, and completely comfortable being there. I left feeling so proud of myself and incredibly grateful for the experience. It was so much more than just getting to try ice climbing for the first time. I also used the shuttle option, and the driver was wonderful. I felt very safe the entire time. Cannot recommend this experience, Daniel, and Lucas enough. Truly one the highlight of my trip.

1000/10 see this show

This was such a cool and unique experience that can’t be recreated elsewhere. I was nervous that it was going to be overly touristy but it wasn’t. Quick fun facts about volcanoes and lava. Our host, Ann-Sophie, was phenomenal. She was energetic and funny and very very knowledgeable. Loved this experience!

Quad Bike Tour on Black Lava Sands from Mýrdalur

Michelle_V, Aug 2026

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.

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.

Thorsmork Super Jeep

Joyce_O, Jun 2026

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!

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.
