Although we did not see the northern lights unfortunately, Iskren checked every half hour for us while we were sleeping. Thanks to him! Overall, a once in a lifetime experience!”

“This trip was a great way to see all of the highlights of the Golden Circle and the southern part of Iceland. We covered all the included stops plus had time to go to a few extra sites as well. There are plenty of stops to use the toilet and have a snack, but be prepared to stay busy the whole three days. The hotel was simple, but the rooms were clean, comfortable and the restaurant at the hotel had something for everyone. I would definitely recommend this trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 265 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $188Best value

Meet Glacier Trips near Jökulsárlón for a guided hike toward Vatnajökull’s natural ice caves. With helmets, crampons, and headlamps provided, guides such as Laura, Alex, and Sindri lead groups of up to 12 through changing blue-ice chambers.

“Laura is a fantastic tour guide and an amazing Instagram photographer. She taught everyone how to fully experience the natural blue ice—no headlights allowed and using only our phone flashlights. She was absolutely right! The headlights would have disrupted the experience for everyone. There were multiple groups in the cave at the same time, but we never felt rushed. Laura made sure we got all our photos while sharing interesting insights along the way. Best of all, she was incredibly friendly, vibed with our jokes, and was so down to earth. Even after the tour, some of us stayed in the van while others chatted with her to learn more.…”

“A great tour to some incredible locations across Iceland’s south coast. Our guide and driver Mika was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about life in Iceland. He took the time to provide detailed explanations at each location we visited and even made additional stops beyond the itinerary. He also stayed up late to tell us when the northern lights appeared, which made an already great trip even more special. Would highly recommend!”

12.Katla Ice Cave & South Coast Waterfalls Tour From Reykjavík

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 172 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $277

Travel from Reykjavík to Vík, Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, and Kötlujökull glacier. You’ll switch to a super-jeep, receive crampons, a helmet, and harness, then enter a changing natural ice cave with glacier guides such as Gunnar or Octavi.

“I would rate this as a 5, however, the driver Monica was a dangerous driver. She was constantly passing cars and other tourist busses. I finally had to tell her that her driving was dangerous as she was passing cars as oncoming cars were approaching. I am a certified emergency vehicle driving instructor and in my opinion her driving put all passengers at great risk.”

On top of the glacier is just breathtaking and beautiful it’s an amazing way to experience being on a snowmobile with the sun setting. A big thanks to Peter who works there he was incredible from start to finish on the tour. Unfortunately the bus had broken down on the way home but he handed everything so well and professional. Peter even drove us to our tour that night for the northern lights as we missed our bus due…”
