This was by far the most unique thing we did in Iceland and the whole reason we travelled in February, to get the best ice caves! It is a must do for your itinerary

I really loved the whole experience. We visited on a rather difficult, snowy, ice-filled driving day for the guides. They worked their butts off to get the vehicles unstuck in the incredible snowdrifts. They were magnificent in their support of each other and still making sure we got to tour the ice cave.

This Ice Cave was incredibly beautiful and unique. Large cave with amazing views at the top. Allowed to explore the cave a bit and take our time with the views.

C'était une expérience incroyable ! Immersion complète pendant le trajet avec une vue à couper le souffle et de la musique nous mettant dans l'ambiance du décor. A ce niveau c'est quasiment du spectacle ! Je vous le recommande vivement !
