    There are many guys complaining to the tour driver at the end of tour, it’s a bad trip compare with my experience of boating and glacier hike by other companies. The three hours trip only one major stop at edge of a glacier, the cave we visited are two small holes for two person to step in to take photo then walk out, it’s quite different from the video/photo they presented.

    I've done all sorts of tours all over the world and this was by far my favorite tour so far! They picked us up promptly at the meeting point at the time listed on our tour tickets and drove us out to Katla in a big off-road vehicle. The guide provided interesting information and fun conversation along the way, and some good music too! Him and his assistant carried in jackhammers and climbing equipment and actually chiseled steps into the face of the glacier so we could safely climb up to two different ice caves - an old one that was nearing the end of its life cycle that we could not enter because it was melting and in danger of collapse, and a brand new one that nobody else has ever been inside yet! They explained to us that the ice caves are always changing due to weather conditions so no two groups of photos will be the same. Very interesting! We also saw an arctic fox that likes to come visit the tour groups when they arrive hoping for a treat. On the drive back we had more great conversation and interesting information, and a surprise very cool addition at the end of the tour that I won't spoil for you - trust me, just book the tour with these guys and you'll be very satisfied with the whole experience. All around great dudes!

    Unfortunately the size of the cave will vary wildly month-by-month - photos posted are somewhat misleading as at the time of our tour, the original cave had collapsed. Seems unfair to have paid the same as those who got the full experience. However that being said, the experience is still excellent - viewing stunning scenery and climbing a glacier that would not be possible on your own. Our guide was fantastic as well.

    As you can see by my pictures I let the gravel travel know what was going on but yet they still told me to come. I drove 2 1/2 hours to find out that they gave up my spot and didn’t let me know. If they operate like this then I definitely would not recommend going into an ice cave with these kind of people. Obviously they don’t care about there customers at all. I would recommend booking through another company.
