Katla Ice Cave & Sydkusten Dagstur i liten grupp från Reykjavik
Beskrivning
Ingen bil behövs! Ge dig ut på en oförglömlig resa till ett av Islands mest extraordinära naturunderverk. Res från Reykjavík längs den natursköna sydkusten och stanna till vid den ikoniska Skógafoss och Seljalandsfoss på väg till Vík. Härifrån kan du klättra ombord på en kraftfull Super Jeep för en off-road tur över dramatiska vulkaniska slätter som leder till Katlaglaciären, en utlöpare av Mýrdalsjökull. Kliv in i den ständigt föränderliga Katla Ice Cave, där slående blå is är strimlad med lager av vulkanisk aska, vilket skapar ett surrealistiskt landskap som inte finns någon annanstans på jorden. Grottan liknas ofta vid Game of Thrones drakglas och erbjuder en inblick i Islands råa och otämjda skönhet. Din certifierade glaciärguide kommer att ge fascinerande insikter i grottans formation och historia, samtidigt som du garanterar din säkerhet med all nödvändig utrustning inkluderad. Detta är en sällsynt möjlighet att utforska en levande glaciär och bevittna de kraftfulla krafterna av eld och is i arbete - ett äventyr du aldrig kommer att glömma.

Resplan
Ditt äventyr börjar med en morgonhämtning från utvalda platser i Reykjavík. Från Islands pulserande huvudstad reser du längs den natursköna sydkusten, där några av landets mest hisnande naturunderverk finns. När du reser kan du njuta av utsikten över charmiga byar och dramatiska landskap snidade av glaciärer och vulkaner. Rutten tar dig till den pittoreska staden Vík, där de sista gästerna ansluter sig till gruppen innan du fortsätter österut mot din glaciär- och isgrotteupplevelse.
Skógafoss är ett av Islands mest ikoniska vattenfall, som forsar 60 meter nerför en tornig klippa ner i en dimfylld pool nedanför. Dess råa kraft och fantastiska omgivningar gör det till ett måste för fotografer och naturentusiaster. På soliga dagar, levande regnbågar ofta visas i sprayen, vilket skapar en magisk och oförglömlig upplevelse.
Du anländer till Vík och transfer från minibussen till en Super Jeep, som tar dig off-road på en spännande resa till glaciären.
Nu är det dags att växla upp med crampons och kliva upp på glaciären! Förbered dig på att fördjupa dig i ett filmiskt landskap när du utforskar den fantastiska blå isen och den slående svarta vulkanaskan i Mýrdalsjökullglaciären. Din certifierade glaciärguide kommer att dela expertinsikter om detta otroliga naturliga underverk. Observera: Isgrottor är dynamiska naturliga formationer som ständigt förändras på grund av väder, temperatur, solljus och nederbörd. Detta innebär att grottans utseende kan skilja sig från de bilder du har sett. På varje tur besöker du den bästa tillgängliga, naturligt formade isgrottan som finns – noggrant utvald utifrån rådande förhållanden och säkerhet. Eftersom naturen alltid skiftar erbjuder varje besök en helt unik upplevelse.
Seljalandsfoss är ett av Islands mest särpräglade vattenfall, känt för den gångväg som låter dig gå bakom den forsande vattenridån. Detta hisnande vattenfall störtar 60 meter från gamla havsklippor och erbjuder en unik utsiktspunkt och oförglömliga fotoögonblick. Gör dig redo att känna sprayen, och bli förvånad över utsikten!
Du anländer tillbaka till Reykjavík på kvällen och avslutar din oförglömliga dag av äventyr.

I was booked twice and charged twice. Can I get a refund for one? Caves were awesome. Get lunch in Vic before going to the caves.
We did excursions in every port, and this was by far our favorite. From the super jeep, to the changes in landscape, to the ice cave itself. Just breathtaking
Magnificent landscapes, great organization, excellent guide
Hi Eva, what a lovely thing to read, thank you. Glad Katla was such a great day, and that the guide made it all flow well. We'd be delighted to host you again! Arctic Adventures Team
Bruno was a great tour guide! Very friendly and insightful!
Hi Brandon, so glad to hear this. A friendly, insightful guide on the Katla route turns a long drive south into half the experience. Nice to hear that you enjoyed your day with us! Arctic Adventures Team
Our guide from Artic Adventures was very personable and gave a commentary during the journey, however, due to road noise in the vehicle it wasn't always easy to hear what she was saying on the microphone. We enjoyed the visit to Skogafoss Waterfall, I didn't do the climb to the top, but my husband did and said it wasn't worth the climb. The view from ground level works well although it's a popular stop and there were many people, but if you are clever you can photograph the falls with the people in the distance without being too much of a distraction or remove in post processing later. In Vik we could use the restrooms and purchase any food/drinks ahead of our trip to Katla Ice Cave. At Vik we changed vehicles. Here we were a group of 14 people squeezed into a really old vehicle which wasn't at all comfortable for the 40 minute bumpy journey to the Cave each way. The driver spent the whole time chatting to the female guest in the front seat, where he could perhaps have been talking to the whole group about the area or at least sharing his discussion with us all, however, we were basically ignored for the whole 40 minute journey. On arrival his attention did turn to the group and from this point on he was very good. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was raining, but we put on our helmets and crampons and started the ascent up the volcanic ash and ice. It made for some great photos - all the black lava ash and ice. The hike wasn't overly difficult a little steep in places (especially for those of us that live in a flat terrain!). Finally we arrived at the Ice cave, there was already a group ahead of us so we waited outside with the guide talking to us about the area. Then we went into the 'blue' ice tunnel (not a cave - open both ends - don't be decieved by the photos)! It is 'Wow' but it is a tunnel and you are in a queue of 14 people, with a further 14 waiting to come in behind, so time is fairly limited. The guide offered to take photos of each of us whilst we were in the tunnel and did an excellent job of the photographs. Very happy with ours. Then you exit the beautiful blue tunnel and continue into another tunnel which has water flowing through it and you exit into an open area, where you can try with a pick axe to break the ice. Another discussion by the guide takes place here and then you go back through the blue ice tunnel and head back down. There is little time to take photos in the tunnels as you have people behind you. My husband loved the Katla Ice Cave part of the trip, thought it was brilliant. I feel more reserved about it. I thought the volcanic ash and glacier area was very photogenic, the ice cave I felt disappointed with. It felt like it was a very small part of the trip and yet the Katla Ice Cave as they call it is supposed to be the main element. I did like the blue part of the tunnel and that was a wow - but not enough time between groups, feels like they are just churning in the people without a thought for 'customer experience'. Back at the vehicle, off with the crampons and helmet and then back in the vehicle for another 40 minutes return journey to Vik. In Vik we swapped back to the Arctic Adventures vehicle and had time to visit restrooms and grab drinks or food before heading to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall (which we had actually visited on another tour the day before so we walked along the walkway to the other smaller waterfalls.). We then headed back to Reykjavik. Total tour time 11 hours. It was a long day to see very little really. Was it worth the money we paid for it - I don't think so, it was by far the most expensive trip we did. Would I recommend it ... I think what I'd say is read this commentary and decide for yourself ... if you want a photo of you in a blue ice tunnel - then yes do it - if you want to have some photos of some black volcanic ash/ice landscape then maybe ... if you want a value for money experience then probably not!
The waterfalls were beautiful and impressive. The ice cave was a very unique experience and we will likely never see anything like it in the future as it is ever changing. I would highly recommend this tour. Alex was our guide and he was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating.
Hi Jen, thanks for taking a moment to write this. Katla is one of those places that genuinely doesn't stay the same twice, so getting the version you got means something. Glad the guide brought the depth to the day. Hope Iceland pulls you back. Arctic Adventures Team
Amazing South Coast tour! The waterfalls, black sand beach, Icelandic horses and landscapes were unforgettable. Our guide/driver was very kind and helpful throughout the day. He even helped me with shoes when I needed them, which I really appreciated. The whole trip was well organized, comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Hi there, thank you for the kind review. Glad you had such a good day on the South Coast, and that the guide went out of their way to help with the shoes. Hope to see you again! Arctic Adventures Team
One of the coolest things I have done. Great trip. The ice cave guy named Sylvester was humorous , nice, took pictures for us, looked out for our safety and was extremely handsome, no wonder the glaciers are melting, hot looking guides. LoL.. he told us interesting things about the volcano, the glacier, the ice and black sand beach. So far best thing I have done the first 3 days here in Iceland.
Hi Karen, thank you so much for the kind words! Best thing in the first three days of an Iceland trip is high praise, given how much there is to do here. Glad the Katla day was the standout, and hope the rest holds up. Arctic Adventures Team
Fantastic. Scenic, amazing. Not a difficult hike for people , but you should be in some semblance of shape. Martin was the best guide we had of any tour, by far. And our driver, Axel was great also
Hi Jim, thank you so much for the kind words. Lovely to hear the Katla day was such a memorable one, and that the team made it the standout tour of your trip! Arctic Adventures Team
We were fortunate to have Sylwester as our guide, he was funny, gave us useful information and was always giving us safety tips and instructions. The whole experience was unique, with riding in those huge trucls, visiting the black volcano site and of course the glacier itself!! Truly a unique experience! The group was small and had good vibes. The lenght of visit was well rationed. I wouldn't recommend it for very young children. I do feel that the admission fee could be lower. The distance from the meeting point, the equipement used etc does not really explain the high price, even for Icelandic pricing.
Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Lovely to hear the Katla day was such a unique experience! Hope to host you again sometime. Arctic Adventures Team
