It happened to be a cloudy and somewhat rainy day, but this trip was still worth it. The car ride to Vik was pretty long, and from there you are picked up by a van that can drive through the fields toward Katla. It’s another long ride, probably about 40 minutes but it is still an experience. Once we got to Katla, you walk about less than 10 minutes in to get a closer look. *NOTE* You do not actually go IN the cave for a walking tour. You do step inside briefly (about 20 feet distance maybe even less) to take a photo but by groups. This is at an opening to the cave but again, you do not go all the way inside (not like the pictures in the advertisement show). Either way, you continue your journey along the field and the scenery is beautiful. It is still breathtaking!!!! One of my favorite parts of my trip to Iceland so far! The waterfall stops are also beautiful.

Came on-time and the guide for the day (Vjeran) was extremely helpful. He answered a lot of questions and really good-natured. For one of the waterfalls - he laid on the ground to get the best picture of my husband and I..this one was our favorite from the trip. In difficult areas to walk up to - he lent a hand and to make sure people were ok and safe. Would highly recommend. Thank you, Vjeran! :)

I did not know what to expect from this experience, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself: I liked the fact that we not only did this activity but bookended the day with a visit to both Skogafoss waterfall (MY FAVOURITE PLACE ON EARTH) and Seljandsfoss waterfall. Those were some nice surprises (I didn't know those stops were a part of the package!). I always rent a car when I'm in Iceland but I did enjoy being driven around for a day (was a nice break). The van was super comfortable and I met some lovely people - one of whom I will probably be traveling back to Iceland with next year (I'm from Canada, she's from Germany)! I suggest bringing hiking boots for this adventure - crampons are good for most any shoe but you are on a glacier for part of this experience and so it's better to have the stability of a good boot than not.
