Went with my partner and two teens—honestly, this was the HIGHLIGHT of our Iceland trip. Our guide, Leif, just oozed knowledge and had us giggling on the drive. The waterfalls were STUNNING (yes, you’ll get wet, just lean into it), and the ice cave felt like being inside a sapphire. Pro tip: bring a dry pair of socks. My daughter slipped and her feet were soaked, but we still had a blast. The 4x4 looked like something outta Mad Max. Bit crowded at the cave entrance but cleared up quick. Would 100% do it again.

Went with my girlfriend and we had a good time overall. The jeep was HUGE, kinda felt like overkill for 7 people but fun. Our guide let us take as many pics as we wanted and even snapped a few for us. Ice cave was crowded but the blue ice was wild. Watch for slippery steps—my gf almost wiped out. Bring snacks, lunch is late.

Really cool trip. The ride there is half the fun, bouncing over the volcanic sand. Cave was smaller than expected but the light inside is gorgeous. Wish there’d been fewer people in our group though.

We had SO MUCH FUN! Tunnel is freezing, but guides have extra gloves. Horses are cute, and the waterfall stop is scenic. Monster truck is like a rollercoaster. Would recommend.

If you’re on the fence, just DO IT. Our guide, Freya, was so passionate about glaciers and explained everything. Didn’t feel rushed, had plenty of time for photos. The crampons take a bit to get used to but after that, it’s all good. Highlight was definitely walking through the crevasse!

Family trip with two kids (8 & 11). Kids LOVED it, especially the ice cave part. Our guide had silly jokes and made them laugh the whole way. Only bummer, bathroom situation is tricky—go before you get to the glacier. Otherwise, really fun and safe adventure.
