Breathtaking

Published on Feb, 2025

What a fantastic experience, we will remember this forever. The scenery was breathtaking. I could have watched the waves at the beach forever… and I don’t even have words to describe the glacier and ice cave. The pick up was easy and the bus extremely comfortable. Iskren’s knowledge and commentary made the trip - I have learnt a lot from him and was inspired to order a book on Icelandic folklore before I was even off the bus. Thank you

Fun and Beautiful

Published on Feb, 2025

This tour is worth the time and money! The caves are an otherworldly like of beautiful and Our guide, Kuba was phenomenal. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He taught us about the formation of the ice caves and the relationship between the volcanoes and glaciers. Pro Tip: bring protective eyewear - Like the silly ones snowboarders wear. I wear contact lenses while traveling and wish I had some. The wind and snow has bits of volcanic ash in it which will irritate your eyes while you’re sightseeing Note: we weren’t aware of how fast the landscape changes so if you’re going to the caves hoping to see the exact caves you saw last week or even last month in photos they might not be there but it’s still incredible and worth seeing time and time again

Svein bjorn was a lovely guy. He explained to us a lot of the history of the country along our trip to the black beach, Katla ice cave and the waterfalls. It was awesome day!

Katla Ice cave with Jake from Troll Expeditions

Published on Jan, 2025

Took this tour this morning with Jake at Troll expeditions and it was amazing! The light from the rising sun at 9:30 was beautiful on all the snow. Jake was very knowledgeable about the glacier and the area and had lots of recommendations! Highly recommended!!!
