“We went with guide Soffía for the afternoon tour. Since we where the only two people, we had a private tour. Our tour started early by 15 min in order to catch more daylight. We where informed about this change one day in advance, so this was no issue at all. From the meeting point, we start our tour to the glacier with a purpose-built vehicle. The vehicle parks close to the start of the glacier, so it is only a short walk until we put on our crampons. Walking on the ice using the crampons is already an experience! We walked around on the glacier, discovering multiple features including…”

Ice Cave Tour from Vík

10.Ice Cave Tour from Vík

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 733 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $220Top rated

Katla ice caves tour from Vík: a guided walk into living glacier ice, small groups, safety gear, and about 3 hours of wonder.

“I would like to start by saying that the Tour Company and Guide were incredibly nice and did a great job but the value for the money on this tour is not there. We happened to go on a windy day and black volcano ash was in our eyes, teeth, clothes and all over our faces. Not what we expected. Sadly the glacier is melting and the ice cave was very small and there were multiple tour groups there just pushing people along. We had ice climbed another glacier the day before and I wish we left it at that. We spent too much money and time on this tour…”

South Coast waterfalls, Vik black sand, then walk into Katla Ice Cave in crampons and helmets on a Super Jeep day trip from Reykjavik.

“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…”
