A unique experience which you should not skip - I've booked the early bird photo tour and it was definitely worth it. We had the complete ice cave for our 6 person group. Krysztof was a great guide. He made amazing photos from us, and all my questions were answered. Thank you.

Ask for Krzysztof! - Wonderful tour! We had originally booked the zip line but they called me a few days prior to let me know the zip line would not be operating this week due to something about the national park. We changed the tour to the early bird ice cave tour instead and we were so happy with it. The ice cave was neat and beautiful, even though it’s nearing the end of the season when it can often be dirty and not as nice. Krzysztof was AMAZING! He was so upbeat and excited to show us the cave, and he was very helpful when it came to posing/choosing photo spots. We could not have had a better experience with another guide. We appreciate him for going above and beyond. Thanks for making it a great day, Krzysztof!

Nice ice cave excursion. - Great experience with this company with a very professional team that give you a general information about the cave and glaciers formation. Safety inside the cave was great.

Getting up early that is worth it! - We went on the Early Bird Ice Cave Tour two weeks ago and it was perfect! The group was small (we were only 6 people) and our guide / driver / photographer Klaudia took good care of everyone and showed and explained us a lot. We were actually in the ice cave in front of the other groups; only when we left did all the other groups meet us. So we had a great time and could take pictures in peace. Klaudia showed us where the best photo spots are and gave us good tips. Shout out to Klaudia, we had a great morning in the ice cave and learned a lot!

Best Ice Cave tour in my life - The early bird ice cave tour is one of the best experiences I had in my whole life. Exploring the tour with Krzysztof, who told us the formation of the ice cave is memorable! They help us took beautiful pictures that I’m not going to forget for the rest of my life. Truly recommended!

Wonderful early tour to beat the crowds with great guides - Our guide Klaudia was fantastic! Along with the other guide/photographer, I unfortunately didn’t catch his name. Highly recommend the early bird tour, as you get there before the bulk of the other groups. Klaudia was very friendly and informative, and the photographer made sure to get the best spots/lightening for the pictures. Thanks again!

Beautiful Ice cave tour - Our guide Claudia was fantastic! So was the other guide/photographer but I unfortunately didn’t catch his name. Highly recommend the early bird tour so you get there before the bulk of the other groups arrive. Claudia was very friendly and informative and everything went smooth. The photographer made sure to find the best lightening/spots for the pictures. Thanks again!

Great Ice Cave tour! - We had an amazing experience with Ice Pic Journeys on our ice cave tour! Our guide, Klaudia, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to her, we were among the first to enter the cave, which meant we got to enjoy the stunning ice formations without the crowds. She also helped us take some incredible photos to remember the experience. If you're thinking about booking an ice cave tour, we highly recommend Ice Pic Journeys! And if you go with Klaudia, leave a review—apparently, she gets a pizza from her boss for every one she gets. 🍕😂

Totally worth it! - This trip was amazing! While the cave is not as blue in the winter morning because there’s no light outside our guide Julien brought his own and truly made it memorable! He was really knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole time. We were very lucky and the only people who signed up for a morning tour so we had the cave to ourselves and it was truly incredible! Julien also took great photos! Highly recommend this tour
