Unforgettable beautiful - The tour begins with a spectacular drive through a lunar landscape, led by a professional, local guide named Gunnar, who shares everything about Katla and the surrounding nature. You stop at a beautiful viewpoint and are greeted by the ice cave from Foxi, the Arctic fox. Then, you enter the interior of a glacier, where you can drink the purest water in the world, surrounded by centuries-old ice. It's an unforgettable experience! 100% worth it!

Unique experience - The guide was so informative and passionate, and when we got to the glacier, a colleague was also there and was just as friendly and passionate. The scenery on the way out was amazing, like something out of a space movie. In fact, a scene from Star Wars had been filmed there. We saw an artic fox that meets the jeep hoping for food. A definite must do activity

Frozen Maze Thrill - I had no idea what we were in for. The black volcanic sand gave way to a vast white expanse, then we entered the cave. What surprised me was how quiet it felt. It was pure, chilly magic. LOL, I'd do it again

Very entertaining and informative. - Tate or guide was awesome. He clearly does this for his love of nature and meeting people as he gave up a well paid job in aviation to do it. Great sense of humour and a mine of information.

Surreal Blue Hues - We followed their lead into the depths, and that glacial blue took my breath away. TBH, I never expected to see something so vibrantly cold. The off-road drive was just as exciting, bouncing us around in the best way

Chilly but Thrilling - OMG that icy corridor was beautifull. Our guide was so funny, I almost forgot the cold. If I'm honest, riding off-road felt like an action movie scene

Our Frosty Adventure - Let me break it down: the off-road drive was bumpy but super cool. Then we saw those blue arches inside the ice. If I'm honest, it felt otherworldly

Did Not Expect That Glow - Our group was small, which made it feel super personal. The off-road drive was bouncy enough to keep us laughing. Then came the real surprise: those blue tunnels lit up like neon when our guide shone a beam across them. NGL, I've never taken so many photos in such a short time. To be fair, every angle showed something new and jaw-dropping, especially near the glacier's entrance 🔥

Icy Dreams Achieved - Now that I think about it, cruising off-road to those frosty passages felt like exploring another planet. The guide shared fun facts about volcanos, then led us into shimmering walls of ice. It was awesome, and we captured so many epic photos

Our Epic Day - Let me tell you, stepping inside that frozen cave was like stepping into a hidden kingdom. The 4WD part was a riot, bouncing over rocks while we giggled. I used to think ice was just ice, but these walls proved me wrong
