Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike – Adventure in a Small GroupVoyager13852, Sep 2026
First Class Intro to Glacier Trek
We did this hike with an excellent guide. Denis Rosa led the way up the glacier and we saw some pretty incredible things. The glacier was uncrowded and we had a small group which was really special. Highly recommend recommended.

Ice Cave Tour from VíkKarenRWilliams, Sep 2026
Crazy and challenging
Our second trip to the caves. We were here in the winter and it was crazy cold! September gave us windy and rainy. Family loved it! I was a bit terrified but did it anyway. Not for the faint of heart.

Great Icelandic horse experience
My son and I loved this outing. Beautiful setting on the beach, helpful guides, iconic horses, and fun (optional!) chance to trot at the end.

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike – Adventure in a Small GroupdanafO7067AT, Aug 2026
Highlight of our Trip!
The Solheimajokull Glacier Hike was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. We were lucky enough to have phenomenal weather, and our tour guide Franco truly went out of his way to make our experience unique and memorable! My friends and I all agreed the four hour trip was the perfect amount of time to experience the glacier, ask lots of questions, enjoy the hike, and take photos without feeling rushed. Our group was 13 people, which was a fantastic size to still get one-on-one time and ask plenty of questions without feeling lost in the crowd. The hike itself still felt like a good workout, so make sure you are ready for a steep incline/descent. I absolutely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland as it was truly unique and one of the highlights of our trip! Shoutout Franco for being such an incredible guide and making our trip so memorable!

Ice Cave Tour from Víktitorendas, Aug 2026
Highly recommended
We had a wonderful experience with Katla Track! Inês is an extremely kind and communicative guide. She’s also very knowledgeable about the glacier and volcanic environments.

Fantastic trip to the land of ice and fire!
It was an amazing and memorable trip to Iceland. The day trip to the diamond beach and glacier with the boat ride is definitely a must do! Our guide was Lina , she was our guide for the entire trip including airport transfers. She is very prompt in communication so it was very easy to connect with her on WhatsApp before we even landed in Reykjavik. She was very knowledgeable and narrated the significance and importance of each and every single site we visited. She was also very flexible and took us to some additional attractions as she drove us to the attractions

Great trip, wonderful guide!
We had a great time on the tour. Our guide Jagoda shared lots of info on Iceland, including thoughts about food and snacks. She also made adjustments to planned stops, so that we could see certain sites at the best times and made some bonus stops along the way to take in the scenery. I liked that she seemed to enjoyed seeing all the sites herself, even though it was probably the hundredth time she has been there. The transportation was roomy enough, with 10 people in a vehicle with around 16 seats in the back, although the empty seats were mostly stacked with bags.The Glacier hike and boat tour on the Glacier Lagoon were definitely the highlights. On the Glacier hike, I really like how she made sure everyone was properly equipped and also using the equipment properly.Regarding pickup, given the big window of 30-40 min, I'd recommend letting people know in advance how many stops there will be that morning and where they are in the order. Even better, it would be great if text updates could be given (e.g., pickup one done, on my way to number 2). We were the last ones to be picked up, so we were wondering at the end whether we were forgotten.

Experience of a lifetime
Beaty was a fabulous guide! She was incredibly informative and so friendly. We had a blast getting to see the glacier and experiencing it first-hand, all the while getting to learn all about its history. Would recommend to anyone visiting Iceland!

3 Hours Katla Ice Cave Tour/Meet in Víkelusivechic, Jul 2026
Great tour with Fricky...but 100+ ppl at the caves
Our guide Fricky was great...friendly, warm, very experienced...really made our trip! The truck ride was about 45 minutes there, of which 15 minutes on the highway and the rest on gravel road towards the glacier. We went to 2 caves (one small and one medium); each experience is different as the glacier is always changing. Once you get there, there are a LOT of tours and people all waiting to get in and out of the caves and you have to "queue". I would say easily over 100 people and 10 tour groups all there at the same time. Our group only had 9 people, but other tours had more like 15-20 people who would take a long time on the paths. I would rate the trip itself more like a 3 or 4 star due to the sheer volume of people, but since we had SouthCoast adventures and Fricky our awesome guide...I am giving this 5 stars because of him. Thanks Fricky!

Awesome tour on Sólheimajökull
We had a great experience with Michal on the Sólheimajökull glacier tour! We chose a private tour because my youngest is 7 and was not old enough to join up with the larger tours.It was a challenging weather day, but he kept us safe and led a wonderful tour! We loved the experience. It was one of the best things we did on our trip to Iceland!

2 Day tour to the South with Rodrigo
I had a really fun time with this tour. Our guide, Rodrigo was great from the get go! My pick up location had a lot of people waiting so I was worried I would miss my bus, but he was able to find me in the crowd. Throughout the ride be was VERY informative and fun to be around. He also gave us a lot of recommendations on what foods to try. Overall had a great experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Unforgettable Experience
Unforgettable Experience with Sultan and Island Paradise Tours!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Island Paradise Tours! Our group of 12 booked a tour to Diamond Beach and the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and it was easily the highlight of our trip.
Our tour guide, Sultan, was exceptional. Even though we started a bit late in the morning, he was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and completely stress-free about it. Throughout the entire journey, he was warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our large group was comfortable.
The best part? Sultan surprised us by making several unplanned stops at stunning hidden gems along the way that we never would have found on our own.
The cost of the tour was also very reasonable, especially given the top-tier service and personal attention we received. Our entire group truly enjoyed every moment and had a fantastic time. You are truly in good hands with Sultan and Island Paradise Tours. Highly recommended!!

Katla Ice Cave Extended 4-hour Super Jeep Tournatexpotours, Jun 2026
Great Experience at Katla Ice Cave!
This was our third guided tour of the Katla Ice Cave with Troll Expeditions and once again, it was a great experience! We've always enjoyed this activity and bring our tour groups every year. Beda was an exceptional guide and we look forward to returning with another group next week! Our clients had a wonderful time, as always, and we will continue to bring our tour groups to the Katla Ice Cave with Troll Expeditions. We are US-based tour guides and can attest to the level of professionalism they provide. This activity is highly recommended, as is Beda and all of their guides!
