What are people saying about Vik

Kayaking on the Sólheimajökull Glacier Lagoon

Rafael_A, Oct 2026

Get on the water and go see this glacier!

We met our guide Jose and got fitted with a great dry suit, booties and neoprene gloves. A short hike to lagoon and you could see icebergs in the water and the glacier in the distance. Unfortunately, weather cut our trip short, as we had hail and some lightning come into the area. Kayaking skills would help but not necessary as this is a leisurely paddle meant to enjoy the scenery. The guide will explain and demonstrate everything you need to know to have a great trip. I would highly recommend this tour as I don’t know of many like it where the put-in is as close to a glacier as this one is.

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!

Lando_M, Oct 2026

Truly exhilarating experience!

We had a great time on the hike and thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed genuine concern for our safety and well-being throughout the hike. She was passionate about teaching us about the glacier and its history. We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Iceland who is looking for a unique and breathtaking way to experience one of Iceland’s wonders.

Ice Cave by Katla Volcano Super Jeep Tour from Vik

Sarah_E, Oct 2026

A Must Do Tour!

The answer is yes, yes the Ice Cave by Katla Volcano is definitely worth visiting! We would say that the entire experience from the jeep ride to walking up to the glacier and taking in the stunning scenery makes the excursion worth it. Plus our guide, Hawk, was fantastic. He was funny and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning more about the glacier & the whole volcanic area. We also never felt rushed and he took great pics, too. In addition, we really enjoyed his music selection for the roundtrip drive! This is a tour that is a definite must if you are in Vik! It's also nice to leave the driving in capable hands!

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike - Small Group Blue Ice Adventure

Sandra_M, Oct 2026

This was an incredible...

This was an incredible experience, and I am so glad my husband and I did it despite the weather. Walking on a glacier and learning its history was an amazing experience we will treasure, but it's not an easy activity. You should be comfortable hiking moderate climbs with extra equipment. On a very wet, windy day, we hiked up the glacier. Monique led the hike, and we learned about the glacier, its ash color, and the changes it undergoes during the seasons. Because of the rain and the wind, the hike was a bit rough as we climbed uphill in muddy, wet conditions. The hike is about 8 km, so it can be challenging if you are not used to hiking, especially with the extra equipment (Ice pick, crampons, and a safety harness) that you have to carry. If you've never used crampons, it is a new experience that can be challenging, as it was for me. I ended up falling because we had to put the crampons on before getting on the ice, and I was not used to walking on it. That said, once I was on the glacier I felt very secure in the crampons and walking around.

Katla Ice Cave Tour from Vik Small-Group Guided Adventure

Glee_S, Sept 2026

Absolutely wonderful three hour experience we will never forget

The location of this cave made it clear ice with black volcanic ash…. It’s beautiful, but it is not the blue ice that you hear about. Nonetheless, the ride out and the incredible stories you hear from your guide make this excellent way to spend your morning or afternoon! It’s pretty impossible to even explain the vastness of these volcanic eruptions, and knowing that some of these happened thousands and thousands of years ago, and yet remain mostly unchanged is something I will never forget!

Katla Volcano Ice Cave - Super Jeep Tour from Vik

DRANNAKALIKA, Sept 2026

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.

Lava Show Vik Admission Ticket

Heather_C, Aug 2026

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.

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike & Ice Climbing Intro - Small Group

Sarah_L, Aug 2026

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.

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.

Ice Cave Tour from Vík

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.

From Reykjavik: Katla Ice Cave and South Coast Day 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.
