Ice cave tour was one of our bucket list in Iceland, Thanks for Valentine, our tour guide to make it memorable experience. Total visiting time was reasonable and lucky that our group was not too packed. Our tour guide was amazing, very helpful and friendly. Totally recommended!
Thank you for ticking the ice cave off your Iceland bucket list with us! Valentin will be thrilled to hear he made it memorable. Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
Great experience! The 3 hours flew by and the Barbara was a fantastic toor guide. Super helpful to answer any questions. We had enough time to take in breathtaking views in silence, take pictures, and explore the caves. Best for tourists who want a little bit adventure without too much hiking.
Thank you, Anshika! Adventure without exhaustion, time for photos and time for silence — Barbara really knows how to pace it. So glad those 3 hours flew by! Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
Started tour at glacier lagoon and they drove us to the glacier. We felt that the tour guide, Marie, was very knowledgeable and that we were safe under her watch. Views were breath taking. Incredible 5/5 would recommend!
Thank you, Cristian! Marie takes glacier safety seriously so her guests can relax and soak in those breathtaking views. 5/5 right back at you! Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
I had to reschedule my original blue ice cave tour due to the blizzard, and I was very pleased that they offered an early (8:20 AM) start time since our group seemed to be the very first to hit the caves that day. Our group also seemed smaller (11 in total, plus the guide; other groups had around 15, plus the guide). Our guide, Daniel, was very informative and friendly. He offered to take my picture at several spots, which was very helpful so that I didn't have to ask anyone else. The "jeep" ride was bumpy but fun. The whole experience was breath-taking, like being on another planet.
Thank you, Tina! Blizzards happen in Iceland, so we're glad the reschedule worked out — the early slot really is magical when you have the caves almost to yourselves. Daniel will love hearing this! Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
I would highly recommend this tour it gives a real experience of Iceland. Our tour guide Valentine made the experience extra special thank you for your time and dedication.
Thank you! 'A real experience of Iceland' is the best compliment we could ask for. We'll pass your thanks on to Valentin! Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
We had a great time on the glacier. Small group, beautiful weather and our guide was great, he explained everything it was very interesting. Thank youiii
Merci à vous ! Petit groupe, beau temps et un guide passionné — la formule parfaite. Au plaisir de vous revoir sur le glacier ! Bien cordialement, l'équipe Ice Explorers
Great experience, professional leadership and fun, I am happy to be part of this journey.

I loved excursion the guide Florice was at the top thank you.
Merci beaucoup ! Floris sera ravi — nous lui transmettons vos compliments. À bientôt sur la glace ! Bien cordialement, l'équipe Ice Explorers
There were two groups of six of us. Our group was guided by Gudrun Maria, and the others went with Barbara. We had a wonderful time. The explanations were clear, explaining (to us Dutch) the unknown world of glaciers and ice caves. We had plenty of time to film and photograph all the beauty. A fantastic day with two excellent guides.
Thank you! Guðrún María and Barbara make a wonderful team, and we're so glad they could open up the unknown world of glaciers and ice caves for you. A dream come true for us to read this! Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
Tour starts in the lagoon, you drive with huge terrain vehicle to the glacier around 30min. Then you hike to the cave around 10min. I like that tour is in a small group, around 10 people, compared with other providers with 20+ people. Cave is beautiful! Our guide was very sweet and funny, also sharing really interesting facts about glacier history, cave formation process etc. He was also very helpful, doing photos of everyone and made us feel very welcome. Genuinely recommended.
Thank you, Sandra! Keeping our groups small is a deliberate choice — the cave feels completely different with 10 people than with 25. We're so glad you noticed, and that our guide's stories and photos made it special! Kind regards, The Ice Explorers team
