Katla Ice Cave - The cave trip was a great experience for our family! There were 8 of us total in the group. Beda was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the area and his love for the job really shows.

Didn’t need to worry about icy ground. - I was worried we would be walking on very icy surfaces but we weren’t. The ground was 95% gravel and only a few steps where it was icy but the crampons they provided were great. The guide also walked with me in areas that I was worried about. The walking was not more difficult than an uphill ramp and then back down again. Rope handrails are provided along the paths.

Nice active experience to walk through the glacier with guide Beda. A real iceman with interesting stories - This was an absolute top experience! First drive a superjeep to the volcano area and then imagine yourself in another world. Beautiful with the sunrise. Fun to walk through the ice cave and fantastic to shoot beautiful pictures.

Definitely recommend this experience - The tour was a really fun treat. The ride up to the ice cave entrance was beautiful, and the views while there were breathtaking. We learned a lot, and even our kids (8 & 11), had a wonderful time. Edgars was a wonderful guide!

Exhilarating adventure! - Coolest experience ever! One of a kind experience with a safe and reliable company. Our tour guide, Edgar made the experience special. The conditions very icy, windy, and low visibility but he made us feel safe out in the drive over there and on the glacier. It was fun learning some cool history of the glacier too. I highly recommend coming during the sunrise it was unreal. Can’t wait to come back and do this another time of the year!
