“This tour was fantastic and definitely the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Jon, was great. He had lots of information for us and was a great driver (even with the crazy winds!) The two waterfalls are incredible and roughly 30 minutes at each was plenty of time, we didn’t feel rushed. We had time to stop and get lunch in Vik too before going to the glacier. The ice cave was incredible. I couldn’t believe how big it was and far we could walk into it! The views at the glacier were stunning. The black sand beach was cool as well, just extremely windy. Overall, it is absolutely worth…”

“We had such a great time. The itinerary was packed with so much to do. We were fortunate enough to have the beach and glacier lagoon, covered with glaciers and had perfect weather for the ice cave. The drive was feasible, but make sure to have a book, show to watch, or sleep. Our tour guide, Eythor, was Great and personable and knew a lot of facts about his country which we appreciated. When we were returning back, he was very cautious of the weather conditions”

Langjökull ice cave tour from Reykjavik with a glacier truck ride, crampons, and a guided walk through blue-ice tunnels.
“Overall, it was an enjoyable, different experience. All operated smoothly, including hotel pick up and drop off. Plenty of break stops in what was a longish day on the road (10 hours or so). Coach driver/guide was informative. Monster truck/glacier tunnel guide also was good. If you didn't have the requisite waterproof gear, this was provided at the base camp. Some ice-melt in the tunnel meant that part of the loop couldn't be completed but what we saw was still interesting.”
