Fun for the whole family - We had an amazing time on the Katla Ice Cave tour and our guide, Boris, was a huge part of what made it so special. From the moment we got in the super jeep, he set the tone—fun, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. The drive out to the glacier was almost as impressive as the cave itself, with dramatic landscapes everywhere you looked. Once inside the ice cave, Boris guided us through the most stunning formations and made the whole experience feel adventurous but safe. Truly one of the highlights of our trip. Boris was great!

Amazing Tour Guide - We had the most incredible ice cave experience with Troll with Beda as our tour guide. We arranged to have our wedding ceremony in the ice cave. Beda was absolutely incredible, organising it so we had snaps of time just with us and no other tours, even sorting it so the noisy machines were turned off for our ceremony. He was unbelievably knowledgeable and friendly, really going the extra mile to make it a special experience for us. Extremely talented driver, some of the terrain we were driving across was so rough and at one point the snow meant you couldn't see the track ahead and yet he drove safely and confidently - we would have been terrified if he hadn't have been there! Cannot recommend Troll, and cannot thank Beda, enough!

go to the ice cave!!! - fantastic tour. We learned so much from Hawk who was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He was very careful and kept everyone safe but still made the tour adventurous and exciting. He took his time to explain and make sure we really experienced the ice caves and understood their transient nature. Highly recommend. Even just riding in the huge jeeps was fun and I would much prefer hiking in most cases.

Florida family had a blast with Pablo exploring the ice caves! - We had a wonderful time exploring the glacier with Pablo. Our tour was quite the adventure, including a super jeep mechanical issue that had us hanging out on the drive during a white out while waiting for a mechanic! It was actually a blessing, as we learned all about Iceland from Pablo and a new vehicle picked us up in no time. Then we were on our way. The glacier is unbelievable. Lots of hard-working guides kept the path clear, and we scored fabulous pictures. I cannot recommend it enough!

Ice Cave - The experience is ONCE IN A LIFETIME. From the off road raised jeeps taking us up to the cave to the actual cave experience and the views… absolutely INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend. We got the best pictures and videos. Memories for a lifetime. Shout out to Beda our tour guide. He loves what he does and was fantastic at teaching us the history of the caves and glacier. Very professional and personable.
