“Wonderful hike. . Gorgeous scenery. Stops to pick up participants and use facilities and grab something to eat on ride to Landmannalaugar. Gummie, our guide told us interesting information about Iceland along the way. The roads in the mountains were bumpy at times. We stopped a few times in the park for spectacular sites before getting to the hike. The hike was about 1.5 hours and moderately challenging in a few areas because slushy snow was on a steep area of the mountains and coming down steep inclines, but it was doable and Gummie was a great guide.

It wasn’t just a cave tour. It was a history tour. Our guide was SO well informed and had so much knowledge about her culture. You can tell she loves what she does. Her name is Hanna. I would recommend you ask for because she will have you hooked on Iceland culture and stories. It’s on the way to the waterfalls so it’s not out of your way. You can’t go to…”
