Tour guide was very knowledgeable. The trip was very worthwhile. Ice cave was impressive, enough room for several groups.
It is absolutely worth it! Do it!

We were the last tour on this day, so we had the cave just for us. It was stunning! This cave in the glacier is so beautiful! We were lucky, because this year the cave is very big. Stefanie is a great guide, she knows a lot about this glacier to tell! I would absolutely recommend this to everybody!

Experiencia imprescindible en Islandia
ALESSIA_G, Mar 2023
La cueva de hielo es un fenómeno natural del que solo se puede disfrutar en invierno. Es una maravilla absoluta, merece totalmente la pena. Solo se puede visitar con guía y en grupos pequeños (10 personas aprox.). Facilitan cascos y crampones para agilizar la visita. Nos tocó un guía islandés super simpático que hizo la experiencia inolvidable. Por poner una pega, al final se está dentro de la cueva unos 30/40 minutos, hubiera agradecido algún minuto más para fotos.
