Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This Katla ice cave tour was amazing. Highlight of our trip to Iceland. Our guide was brilliant and made the tour even better, giving us lots of information about the volcano and glacier/ ice caves. The super jeep journey to and from the glacier was great and we stopped off on the way for an amazing view of the glacier. We even saw an arctic fox at the end of our tour! 10/10, 100% reccomend and so worth the money, unlike anything else we have done before.
Helge from Southcoast adventures was excellent, very knowledgeable and fun!
