Superb excursion, with a fantastic guide and a very impressive vehicle. We weren't able to visit the cave because an avalanche came down that morning and blocked the entrance, but we did see an ice tunnel and were able to admire the glacier in extraordinary weather. The Northern Lights surprised us at the end of the excursion. In short, magnificent!

A very unique experience. The ride was a bit longer than normal but still fine. It had snowed a lot in the days before. With the snow, the hike to the cave was somewhat harder than normal or do our guide said. It wasn’t bad, just some deeper snow at times. The caves were beautiful. The knowledge of our guide Stefan was great. Gave some history, details on practical operations at the caves and how they maintain them. It was fantastic.
