Cool to do! It is a cave / tunnel that naturally changes because of the melting ice. We did it a few days ago with warm weather. You walk over narrow bridges of a few boards with a rope next to them. Pretty exciting! Safety is taken into account. You go through the tunnel, you have time to take pictures, and you go back. The monster truck is also fun to drive.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that you enjoyed your experience at the Ice Cave experience in Iceland. Hope to see you again!
This trip was not worth the time or money. The ice cave was not so beautiful as to make it worth the hours in an-overcrowded Ford sprinter (not a jeep) with one butt cheek hanging off the side of the bench and a large group of Americans bragging about their banking jobs. The sun was setting when we got there so the lighting was bad for photos. The tour guide let the large group do whatever they wanted, leading us to spend a long time waiting as they took photos with and without their jackets on and in different poses and combinations of people. Alternatively, we took an Arctic Adventures snowmobiling and ice cave tour from Skjól Campground where the sprinters were outfitted with individual seats so everyone could be comfortable, and the tour guides helped move people along so that we got home at a reasonable time and no one was stuck sitting outside a cave for 30 minutes just waiting for others to be done. We were supposed to be on the morning tour (hoping for good light) but our ticket had the wrong address on it and the tour left without us- what a headache. We had arrived early and called multiple times but the booking agent couldn’t get us in touch with the tour operator. The new ticket they gave us for the afternoon tour also had the wrong address, but luckily we were in the area the tour left from for lunch and flagged them down. All in all the whole thing was an unprofessional mess, and I would actively avoid both the booking agent (Mariana Travel) and the tour company (Tröll). I would avoid this tour at all costs- we truly wish we had not lost a day in Iceland to this negative experience.
Dear Guest, We regret this unfortunate experience that you had. We tried calling you on the phone number that you used for the booking multiple times in the morning of your departure but no one answered. The tour had to leave at the designated time as we have other people on tour and it is not fair to make them wait when you were uncontactable. The meeting location is indicated on the ticket and so far none of our guests had any issue finding the place. We cannot choose who we want as customer and we always do our best to accommodate to all our guests on tour.
Very intense, personal experience in a small group. Great views, amazing ice. Special thanks to guide Stefan!
Thank you so much for your kind word. We are glad that you had a great time. We hope to see you again.

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that you had a great time in Iceland. We hope to see you again.
We visited ice cave with smart guide Trim from Troll Expeditions, Vik. Nhis stories were very intersting and we learned a lot of new information. Strongly recommended
Thank you for your review. We are glad that you had a great time.
We used Troll Expeditions and met our guide in Vik. There were 6 of us and another 5 or 6 people joined us. We loaded into a 4 wheel drive van and headed out on a 40 minute or so drive on a very bumpy gravel road to the glacier/ice cave. Once we arrived, we had a short hike and climb to get up to the cave. It was a warm sunny day and water was pouring off the glacier and entrance to the ice cave. Since the glacier also consists of volcanic ash, we were rained on with a combination of water and ash. Fortunately, we were dressed appropriately (recommend not wearing white). Once inside the cave, we moved fairly easily through the cave. It was very cool to experience but a much shorter journey than expected possibly because the area around the cave was melting so rapidly. After exiting the cave at the other end, we were basically in a valley of the glacier. Here, our guide let us explore a little on our own and then led us on an easy climb up the valley to the edge of the glacier for some great views. After a few minutes of pictures and glacier info, our guide led us back down and back through the cave. This was a great and truly unique experience that was one of the highlights of our trip.
Thank you for your review. We are glad the you had a great time. Hope to see you in Iceland again.
