Long but pretty

Our guides were so nice and personable which makes the day so much better. The ice cave was short but very neat to experience. The waterfalls are amazing!

Another fabulous day adventure

Loved the small group experience. We had around 12 people and a great guide. I believe her name is Kate. She had a fun sense of humor which made the long day fun. I loved the "natural" ice cave vs. a man-made one. It was a shallow cave, just a few yards but very interesting. I also loved the waterfall that we were able to walk behind. Just a note of safety: getting up the rocks was steep at places and slippery because of the constant mist of the falls. You will need a raincoat of some sort as you will get wet. The experience, however, was awesome.

An extraordinary day!

Pick up was on time at number 12-Foss Hotel. Alain was well versed in the history of Iceland and our stops for the day. He took pictures of our group of 8 too ! We had the best time today. Stopped for lunch and souvenirs too.

Best experience in Ísland

Incredible tour. Alain was a phenomenal tour guide, very informative, and knew everything from geophysics to folklore. The group and I were entertained the whole time. The waterfalls were beautiful, and the ice cave and landscape were something out of this world. Will definitely book another tour next time in Iceland!

Amazing Tour Guide

The tour was absolutely fantastic with stunning views, fun experiences, and an amazing tour guide. Alain is very polite, easy to have a conversation with, and very educated about the geography, and political history of Iceland and was thrilled to share it with us. 10/10 would recommend.
