3 hours of Vatnajökull ice caving from Jökulsárlón, with a 4x4 ride, full gear, and safety-first guides in Iceland’s glacier world.

“The cave is breathtaking, there’s no doubt about that. (Well, based on what the guy said, they change and it also depends on which cave you visit). Our guide was also nice and knowledgeable!

“Amazing trip. Lot of things to see. In my mind this really showcases the amazing nature of Iceland. There was enough time in every stop and that was really important. Our designated tour guide moved rapidly so that we had time to see everything. Also his stories and knowledge of snaefellesnes was interesting. Lunch schedule was little bit tight but otherwise all gucci.”

5.Small-Group Snaefellsnes National Park Day Trip from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 295 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $149

Small-group Snæfellsnes day trip with hotel pickup, seals, black sand beaches and Kirkjufell photos, plus folklore in English.

“The tour with our guide, Siggi, was wonderful. We had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. Siggi was informative and interesting. The sights did take time to get to, but that was expected. Kirkjufell was lovely at sunset, and the beach with the seals was surprisingly peaceful and beautiful. The landscape had recently been dusted with snow, so everything looked magical. We also were able to see the glacier and it was amazing!”
