“

Fantastic cave exploration adventure in this permafrost lava tunnel. For those who like an off the beaten path challenge. It was a bit intimidating, but our guide, Inga, was terrific. She was patient, gave great instructions and was very knowledgeable throughout the tour. So glad we did this.”

This was an absolutely amazing day. Our Host Armann was delightfully entertaining throughout the day and informed us of Icelandic history and the geography of Northern Iceland as we drove to the cave. After a modest hike to the cave, we geared up for an exciting exploration through the cave where we learned about the creation of the caves and all the ice stalactites and stalagmites. My kids went in thinking that it would be interesting but left saying it was the best part of our Iceland adventure. ON the way back to Akureyri we stopped at Godafoss and saw one of the many amazing falls. This is a trip not to be missed!”

A minivan picked me up from Akureyri, and more people to another tour. Then they got confused and drove me halfway back to a different van, and on the way back I didn’t find this van that was suppose to drive me back to Akureyri. The tour is not long, the cave is really dark and you can’t really see too much.. the hosts and very nice and professional but I wouldn’t do that again, not worth the money”
