  • 3DO NOT do in a big group otherwise it will spend 2 hours in a car going to the glacier and many minutes in queues

    The group was so big that we did on an adapted big bus. But the bus was so slow that we felt frustrated for the riding 20 km/h while other small cars did around 20-30 minutos we spent 1 HOUR. And because the group was so big, the queues to take photos were also big and we didn't enjoy so much. Maybe in a small group we should have time to enjoy the beautiful place. It was also difficult to checkin because there was no sign of "Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure". We found because we started to ask everyone. TO the company: Please do not use this bus anymore with tourists, it is too old. DO NOT do in a big group otherwise it will spend 2 hours in a car going to the glacier and many minutes in queues

  • 5Intimate tour, great guide, peaceful exploration

    We had an incredible tour with an excellent guide. At this time of year, it was just us, another couple, and the guide, which made the experience wonderfully intimate. We spent plenty of time exploring the cave and had ample opportunity to ask all our questions. Often, we found ourselves alone in entire sections of the cave, as our guide skillfully avoided other groups. It was a truly memorable adventure!

  • 1EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL

    We drove 4 hours to get to our tour and were told by another tour company that our tour had been cancelled. No email, phone call or any notification at all and they aren’t answering their phone. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL

  • 5Ice caves during summer

    We hesitated on doing this tour since we knew the ice caves would be melted. We were so wrong!! They were beautiful even in summer, our tour guide Laura was great, she knows very interesting facts about glaciers, crevices, moulins, erosion, etc. My 10 and 14 Year old kids really enjoyed it, they were taught on how to get ground ice with rappelling anchors, and other fun facts about ice caves. Will definitely be doing it again. Totally worth it !

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
