The best tours in Iceland! - I recently had the opportunity to take part in the glacier walk and ice cave tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. The entire trip was extremely well-organized, and our guide made sure we felt safe and comfortable at every stage. The glacier walk was both thrilling and educational — we learned a lot about the local geology and the formation of ice structures.
The highlight of the tour was definitely the ice cave. Its crystal-blue walls and unique shapes were breathtaking, and our guide gave us plenty of time for photos and exploration. I truly appreciated the balance between adventure and safety throughout the whole experience.

Book with Ice Walkers! You won’t regret it!! Our favourite memory of Iceland! - Wow. I can’t even begin to explain what a wonderful time we had with Ice Walkers. We booked the glacier hike and ice cave tour and it was truly phenomenal. Not only was the scenery magnificent but Martin and his colleague Mike were so knowledgeable and kind. They made us feel comfortable and safe. I have a fear of heights and some moderate claustrophobia. Martin eased my mind and did not pressure me to do anything that I was not comfortable with. Due to his kindness, knowledge and willingness to help I ended up completing every aspect of the tour and was SO glad I did. I truly enjoyed every moment of this tour and would recommend Ice Walkers to anyone. I appreciated the small group numbers. Due to the length of tour we booked (6 hours) we were able to explore areas of the glaciers otherwise missed by the other tour companies. 100/10 experience!!

The most unforgettable experience in Iceland! - We had a blast! So far, the best experience in Iceland. The hike was about 6 hours in total but, don't worry, it's not difficult at all. We visited two caves, and each one was more stunning than the other.
Our guide, Marcin, was excellent—super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the glacier. We were lucky to have caves completely to ourselves, no crowds at all! The company planned the timing perfectly so we could avoid the busy times.
The blue caves were absolutely breathtaking. The glacier changes every day, so new caves form while others collapse—don’t believe other tours that claim they’ll take you to “THE Blue Diamond Cave.” Every tour is unique, and that’s what makes it so special.
We’re really glad we chose the longer tour—it gave us plenty of time to explore and fully enjoy the glacier’s incredible beauty. Highly recommend this experience!

Highly recommend 6 hours tour~ - Guides Martin is professional and kind, always pay attention to the location and safety of the team members. The walk time to return more than two hours, will be a little tired but you can see the blue ice hole, beautiful! Very worth a day trip to Iceland, great recommendation!

an awesome experience - Martin was our guide for a really great day hiking with crampons on the ice and visiting a spectacular ice cave. Martin is a top notch guide giving you what you need and what you want - keeping it safe, providing some interesting info and answering questions. It was fun to have the experience of hiking on a glacier and the cave was awe inspiring. The photos do not lie! (Two things worth noting: wear hiking boots that come up above the ankle for using crampons and bring yourself something to eat. Perhaps they listed these things but if they did I missed it and felt lucky I happened to be prepared).

Reliable, safe and best experience in Iceland - We took the glacier and ice cave walk with Ice Walkers Tour and had an excellent experience. Our guide, Marcin, was friendly, helpful, and accommodating, ensuring we never felt rushed. He prioritized our safety while also making sure we enjoyed ourselves. When I accidentally dropped my phone on the glacier, Marcin managed to find it, for which I was extremely grateful.
The tour itself was incredible—we explored a crystal blue ice cave and even safely entered shallow crevasses. It was a truly adventurous and amazing trip. The small group size, with only eight people, made it even better. I highly recommend Ice Walkers Tour for anyone visiting Iceland.
