This was a unique experience.. They picked us up from a bus terminal.. Wished they could picked us up from the place we were staying, it was very closed from the bus station.. we would have saved the $40.00 parking fee.. The cave is beautiful but very small, you get to be inside like 10 mins.. Everything went smoothly, the driver made a stop for bathroom and snacks.. After the cave tour you get time for lunch.. Then you visit the waterfalls.. (this is a must do, even if you don’t do the cave tour) The tour guide went the extra mile and took us to the black sand beach (not included in the tour) we saw puffins…. Thank you Sole ( you were amazing) .. Set aside one whole day for this tour..

I loved the waterfalls, the ice cave is very nice but I wish it would have been a larger tunnel to visit, guide that took us to the cave and off road was amazing!!! Very funny too!!!

We had a great tour! I accidentally selected a pickup spot that was just Reykjavik. When you’re selecting pick up make sure it shows a name! Our driver was excellent and super informative about Iceland. When we got to the super jeep part we had a different driver, Bigg who made the trip exceptional! We had so much fun getting out to the glacier in the van. The cave itself was magical and being on top of the glacier was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!
