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 !

We had an incredible time! We were in a group of 8 of different ages. We were all very proud of ourselves for conquering this adventure!

Très bonne excursion, bien organisée et dans les temps. Seul bémol à mon humble avis c'est le nombre de personnes que l'on peut retrouver sur place (groupe de 20-25 simplement avec cette société, sur place vous ferez la connaissance de d'autres sociétés). Après discussion avec l'organisateur, s'est pire en été ! Avril - Mai restent encore accessibles. Ca reste une expérience inoubliable ! De mon côté j'ai eu la chance d'être en avant de la fil sans personne, permettant de prendre plein de photos extraordinaire. D'autant plus qu'on a eu un temps extraordinaire, Vaut mieux y aller le matin !

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.
