“Our guide Jim took us to all the waterfalls and black sand beach and told us lots of interesting information about the places and Iceland. They were all absolutely stunning. it’s a long journey to Vik but the scenery is out of this world. For the ice cave Frederico was our guide and he did a fantastic job of showing us the amazing Katla ice cave and explaining the surrounding glacier. I also really enjoyed the off road drive to the cave.”
