Our driver was excellent and super informative about Iceland. When we got to the super jeep part we had a different driver, Bigg who made the trip exceptional! We had so much fun getting out to the glacier in the van. The cave itself was magical and being on top of the glacier was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!”

“Unique, spectacular and very informative! Who would’ve thought we could walk inside a glacier while learning all its wonders. Our guide Mariano was extremely knowledgeable and eager to answer all of our questions. Also, it was super fun to go on a monster truck! The tour is definitely family friendly as our young daughters were able to do it without problem. There’s a lot of walking (the tunnel is 2km long) but nothing too difficult. We decided to drive to Húsafell and stopped in hot springs and a couple of waterfalls that were amazing!! We’re so glad we found this tour. Would highly recommend it!”

Although conditions weren't right to see the aurora lights he still tried to see if there was a chance even though another couple complained about him not going out of his way to make this happen as their app said there were viewings. We had a fabulous trip and totally enjoyed ourselves. It was long trip so maybe we should have taken the 3 day instead of the 2.”
