It was an amazing excursion from start to finish. Our guide took extra good care of everyone in our group, making sure we were all safe. The sights were spectacular and we learned a lot about the geological history of Iceland and the area. We HIGHLY recommend this tour with this group. It was one of the highlights of our trip so far.

this was a lot of fun! it was beautiful to see up close. the guides were friendly and accommodating. the trek wasn't too strenuous. I lost my penguin stuffed animal (it fell out of my pocket. RIP Churro) and the guide was very kind about trying to help me find him.

The cave was much smaller than expected, only about 12m long, but the surrounding hills and streams were gorgeous. The views were really spectacular. Heavier people may want to avoid this as there are several tiny wooden planks over streams to cross. Definitely don’t do it if you’re afraid of heights.
