East Coast National Park: Half-Day Caves Jeep Safari - Sea caves, cliffs, and clear coastal water

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,090 reviews · 4 hours · from $70Our pick

Ride a Land Rover Defender through Konnos National Park with an English-speaking guide such as Monica, Tony, or Stav. Expect sea caves, natural bridges, old churches, Cape Greko views, Lovers Bridge, and beach time for swimming. The ride is rough, open-air, and best for an adventurous half-day.

“Great guide and got to see some some amazing places not accessible by normal transport. Both being in our sixties it was sometimes hard going in the back of the Land Rover, as we barrelled along the off road sections, but well worth it.”

2.Ice Cave Tour in the National Park of Vatnajökull

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 410 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $157

Meet at Jökulsárlón and ride a modified 4x4 toward Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. You’ll hike across rough ground to a changing natural ice cave with a guide such as Axel, Fannar, or David. Expect striking ice, a bumpy ride, and possible waits when several groups arrive together.

“Very informative tour! Learned so many things and got to see so many sights! I did not expect to see the blue ice and I did not and that's okay! Global warming is a real threat and it's sad to see the very real effects. The car ride was so very bumpy but SO much fun! Would not advise if you have back issues..David our tour guide was so full of energy, fun and honest. I would have assumed our guide would stay with our group as we were hiking but he would often times walk ahead and then wait for us to catch up. He did stay by us…”
