A magnificent excursion - The highlight of the excursion is the cave in Langjokull Glacier. It's unique, and it's to be done. The guide gave us all the necessary information. It's very rewarding. The second highlight is the Barnafoss waterfall, a marvel.

Great Family Adventure - We had a fabulous time on this trip. The horse farm experience was fun and very informative (and wonderful for kids). But the highlight was definitely going on and into the glacier. Not only were our guides extremely knowledgeable, they were funny, helpful for those that struggled on the ice and very good looking!

11/10 white out experience!! - This is one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had!!! Not only do you get to explore inside of the largest ice cave in Iceland, you also get to take a Star Wars-esque vehicle through the glacier terrain. On our trip we had a total white out and couldn’t see a thing!!! Felt totally safe the entire time and loved all of our guides (Nikolai & Andrei!) Not the most young child friendly day, but would give an 11/10 recommendation to all adult groups!!!

The hour spent in the... - The hour spent in the glacier was interesting. It's about getting there. A long bus ride, a transfer for another 49 minutes in another bus to the base camp then the famous Monster truck that takes us to the tunnel. 30 minutes in the diesel fumes to arrive at the tunnel entrance with a heartache and headache. The guide was interesting. High cost for an average experience

Bumpy snowmobile ride on a snow field in a fog and a look at melted out glacier tip/cavity - The advertising promises snowmobile tour on the Icelandic glacier. My friend and i signed up for Reykjavik pick up option. Pick up was timely at the designated pick up spot, but then the bus drove around city for a while picking up others. This was followed by 1.5 hrs ride to their base not far from Gullfoss. After a half an hour spent in their cafe we were fitted with coveralls, helmet and balaclava (recommend bring your own). Next step was another 45 minute drive on monster snow truck-bus on bad road covered with mixture of snow ice and mud til we reached the snow field where they keep snowmobiles. No one in the group had any experience riding snowmobiles. After a brief (5 min) instruction on how to ride snowmobile we rode for about half an hour to the entrance to the ice cave. You can either ride alone (for extra $$) or have 2 people - one rider and one passenger. The ice "cave" is basically melted out space at the tip of the glacier, it is about 6.5 feet high and 15 by 20 ft, the very narrow melted water channel extend further under the glacier. We spent half an hour milling around there looking at the ice, we had about a dozen and half people and we filled it. We then reversed the steps and rode back to the monster truck/bus. Visibility was very limited with occasional glimpses of snowy crags. We returned to the base where we stayed for an hour at their cafe with limited food choices, coffe and beer. Returned to Reykjavik by a different road , some nice views along the way. The total time from pick up to drop off in town was about 8.5 hrs. The guides were exceptionally nice. The snowmobile ride for the novice was unnerving, very bumpy and uneven as the snow was melted in spots, several snowmobiles flipped over (no injuries :-)). Curiously, contrary to the advertizing, we were never actually on the glacier. The snowmobile ride was actually on the snow field covering rocks that typically melts in summer. So, if snowmobiling is your thing you might as well just ride snowmobile in any snowy place in the world (being from US midwest there are better places in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan) Visibility was minimal with occasional glimpses of neighboring peaks (which you may just as well see from the road ). We went there in mid March. So, you will enjoy it if you have never seen ice cavity, want to ride snowmobile on ungroomed terrain on a snowfield and if lucky with weather want to see some snow covered rocky peaks and have a few hundred dollars to spend. Again, the guides were very nice and informative. IMHO the cost did not justify the trip.
