What are people saying about Vik

Stellar Experience
Really great hike with stellar views. It is not for the weak. We had a few people tap out half way. I think they would have been fine had they hung in there, but it is a very long hike. My advice would be do a lot of walking before you visit and you will be fine. The hikes probably a little over 10 miles total. Our guide was Lucas and he was great. He kept a nice slow pace so everyone could keep up and was very knowlegable about the glacier. I can't wait to come back again.

Breathtaking, awesome, incrediable......just do it!
Oh WOW! Gravel Tours offered this incrediable tour that we thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Despite the rain it was the most amazing afternoon. Absolutely loved the Black Sand and photo stops. The Cave experience was breathtaking. The Cave is small but this did not affect our enjoyment. I love the return trip where our fabulous tour guide took us the the beach in the super jeep and dodged waves. So much fun! I loved the tale of the whale that wasted up on shore etc. Our tour guide was funny, charismatic and went out of his way to ensure we all had the best experience. We called him John as his Icelandic name is too complicated. Thank you John for making this such a fun and memorable experience.

A must-do in Iceland!
We LOVED the tour. It was so mind blowingly cool to see, touch, and taste the glacier ice - though heartbreaking to hear how it’s changing every day due to climate change. Such a unique experience - we’re glad we picked this for our trip to Iceland. Gabriella “Gabi” was a fantastic and super knowledgeable guide.

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.

Vik may not have an exciting name—it just translates to “bay” in Icelandic—but this town on the southern tip of Iceland is anything but boring. Sign a waiver, and within minutes, Vik tours will have you riding in a buggy along the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, exploring an ice cave under Katla Volcano, or snowmobiling above it on Mýrdalsjökull, the country’s fourth-largest glacier. Ziplining, paragliding, and kayaking (in a glacial lagoon) are all options if you go with a guide.
