Itinerario
Cambia de nuestro autobús a un superjeep para embarcarte en esta espectacular odisea hacia una cueva de hielo azul natural en el glaciar Kötlujökull. Nuestros guías expertos en glaciares, con décadas de experiencia, te guiarán de forma segura a través de este entorno extremo mientras observamos la hermosa cueva de hielo azul y las formaciones de hielo. Te equiparemos con crampones, arnés y casco de seguridad para esta experiencia inolvidable. La experiencia total dura alrededor de 3 horas. Ten en cuenta lo siguiente: debido a la naturaleza cambiante de las cuevas de hielo, no podemos prometer que la vista durante tu recorrido sea idéntica a las imágenes mostradas. La apariencia de los glaciares y las cuevas de hielo puede variar según factores como la temporada, la hora del día, las condiciones de iluminación y otras variables.
Vík es uno de los pueblos más pintorescos de Islandia. Se encuentra en la salvaje costa sur y está rodeado de magníficos paisajes, que incluyen playas de arena negra y farallones de basalto. Con vistas al pueblo se encuentra la iglesia de Vikurkikja, que cuenta con una vista espectacular.
Dejamos Vík y viajamos de regreso al oeste hacia la capital, pero no antes de dos puntos más esenciales de la costa sur. Primero está la cascada Skógafoss, una poderosa maravilla natural que deja a los visitantes asombrados. Las poderosas cataratas, que caen en cascada desde una altura de 60 metros y se extienden a lo largo de 25 metros de ancho, generan una niebla constante que crea vibrantes arcoíris en los días soleados. Enmarcado por una exuberante vegetación y rodeado de espectaculares acantilados, Skógafoss ofrece un impresionante telón de fondo tanto para los entusiastas de la naturaleza como para los fotógrafos. Accesible por una escalera panorámica, la plataforma de observación en la cima ofrece un panorama impresionante de la cascada y los paisajes circundantes, lo que convierte a Skógafoss en un destino de visita obligada para quienes exploran el espectacular paisaje de Islandia.
La cascada Seljalandsfoss es uno de los íconos perdurables de Islandia. Famosa por su maravilloso sendero que permite a los visitantes caminar detrás de las cataratas, Seljalandsfoss es una parada esencial en cualquier recorrido por la costa sur. Después de nuestra parada aquí de 45 minutos, continuamos nuestro camino de regreso a la ciudad.

Loved the small group experience. We had around 12 people and a great guide. I believe her name is Kate. She had a fun sense of humor which made the long day fun. I loved the "natural" ice cave vs. a man-made one. It was a shallow cave, just a few yards but very interesting. I also loved the waterfall that we were able to walk behind. Just a note of safety: getting up the rocks was steep at places and slippery because of the constant mist of the falls. You will need a raincoat of some sort as you will get wet. The experience, however, was awesome.
Pick up was on time at number 12-Foss Hotel. Alain was well versed in the history of Iceland and our stops for the day. He took pictures of our group of 8 too ! We had the best time today. Stopped for lunch and souvenirs too.
Thank you for your 5-star review. We are happy to hear you had the best time on your Katla Ice Cave and South Coast tour. It is great that pickup was on time and that Alain made the day fun and informative for your group.
Incredible tour. Alain was a phenomenal tour guide, very informative, and knew everything from geophysics to folklore. The group and I were entertained the whole time. The waterfalls were beautiful, and the ice cave and landscape were something out of this world. Will definitely book another tour next time in Iceland!
The tour was absolutely fantastic with stunning views, fun experiences, and an amazing tour guide. Alain is very polite, easy to have a conversation with, and very educated about the geography, and political history of Iceland and was thrilled to share it with us. 10/10 would recommend.
This was a great day!!! Our tour guide Allain was fantastic!!! He kept us entertained the entire day with lots of information and fun stories. The waterfalls were great and the Ice Cave was so cool. The scenery was so unique it was worth the trip!
Alain very informative and was pretty funny as well. He was very helpful and accommodating to everyone . Highly recommend this tour as well as the guide. Every single stop was incredibly interesting
Alain was a great tour guide, had so many cool stories to tell and very kind
Excellent trip, worth the time and money. Little better planning needed as to pickup locations in the morning. We were an hour late getting picked up in the morning which was very frustrating. We did receive a full tour and driver John was great - very knowledgeable and friendly. Cave was amazing.
There were two guides on this tour, one who did the waterfalls and black sands in a mini bus and one who did the glacier and a beach in the 4x4. The best bit was the mini bus guide who picked me up showed me the waterfalls and drove us home. Although the glacier tour part was incredible and the driver was very capable, we drove on the beach at one point and I couldn’t see anything as I was on the side away from the shoreline so that was disappointing. I also felt like as a solo traveller I kind of got a bit ignored and out crowded by the larger groups I was with. However it did give me sometime to separate and sit outside the cave on glacier to just exist in the snow with the ravens and arctic fox tracks which was truly magical. I can’t say enough good things about the mini bus guide, he got me home in time to see the concert I was booked for and he was just smart, funny, intelligent and kind. It’s tough the over tourism in Iceland especially as a lot of people want to just check boxes and not exist and absorb the beauty quietly. I recommend this experience for sure, but wear proper shoes (one girl had trainers and no socks) and respect nature by being present and pausing.
The company sent me a statement on the eve of the tour informing me that I would not take the tour, but they made the same tour available to me at another company. The ride at the other company was spectacular, without any problems.
Thank you for your feedback. Due to unforeseen circumstances, this departure had to be operated by one of our trusted partners. We are glad to hear that the tour itself was spectacular and went smoothly, and we regret that the operational change before departure caused disappointment.
