The ice cave tour was definitely our highlight of the trip, it was so beautiful beyond belief. The actual ice cave that we went into was actually quite small and nothing much to see, but the area outside and surrounding the ice caves are what’s so amazing!

The tour was very nice. The ride in the jeep to the glacier was great. We then went on foot to the glacier to the ice cave.

Rik – Netherlands January 22, 2024

De tocht naar de grot toe was al een attractie op zich. Met de super jeep reden we zo de gletsjer op. De weg was hobbelig dus we stuiterden af en toe alle kanten op. Het uitzicht was prachtig. Boven op de gletsjer bezochten we eerst de “nieuwe” ijsgrot en daarna de bekende grote boog (deze zal binnenkort helemaal verdwenen zijn)

The ice cave tour was definitely our highlight of the trip, it was so beautiful beyond belief. The actual ice cave that we went into was actually quite small and nothing much to see, but the area outside and surrounding the ice caves are what’s so amazing! We did the 10am tour in the middle of the winter so we were able to see the sunrise over the glacier which was such an unforgettable experience. It was really cold and windy here in January but the view was worth it.

The tour was very nice. The ride in the jeep to the glacier was great. We then went on foot to the glacier to the ice cave. This is totally spectacular and fascinating. Our guide took photos with us and told us a lot. That was our most beautiful tour in Iceland. A must see! Absolute recommendation. Thanks!

Een gave ervaring. Eerst met de jeep naar de gletsjer toe (hobbelige rit), maar dat hoort bij de ervaring. De gids (einar) was duidelijk, met een grapje tussendoor. Iedereen kreeg goed de tijd om foto’s te maken. Met spikes onder je schoenen had je goede grip om de gletsjer te verkennen. Echt de moeite waard!

“What an incredible day!! Thomas was an excellent driver and guide, sharing his passion for Icelandic history and lore the entire drive. Stonethor was our Super Jeep driver and ice cave guide and he was equally as incredible! So very knowledgeable and personable, he made the ice cave exploration even more magnificent. This was an amazing opportunity and well worth the cost!” – Stephanie, April 2025
