What people say

"**one of the top 5 things to do in Iceland** Kalta Ice Cave is an awe inspiring set of ice formations on the Kötlujökull glacier. On this full-day tour, spin through the icy countryside by powerful 4x4 vehicle and visit the beautiful Dragon Glass Katla ice cave. With your guide to lead the way and round-trip travel from Reykjavik included, explore the cave and take in the mighty Skogafoss waterfall—considered among southern Iceland’s top natural attractions."
"As part of the tour, you will be picked up by super jeeps (8-16 seating capacity) that will take you toward the mysterious ice cave. Along the way to the cave, you will witness stunning views beyond the starry sky. The ice cave you will visit is located within the Kötlujökull glacier, which is an outlet glacier of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Beneath this glacier lies the mighty volcanic mountain, Katla. Both the glacier and the ice cave bear the same name."
"❗️EVA'S TIP: Here I show how it looks like in Summer (no snow, black and green landscape) vs. Winter (white and icy). Both landscapes are impressive. But if you want to see huge ice caves, you should go in Winter. "

Mentioned in these guides

Have you ever dreamt about travelling to Iceland? Here I share the most complete 8-day itinerary along the Ring Road in Iceland! After having lived in Iceland for more than 1 year, I want to share with you my best tips based on my experience for travelling around one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and that I like to call home. I’m also sharing special places and not only the most popular ones. What to consider before reading: • Personally, I believe that the most enjoyable way to travel around Iceland is by Campervan • The most important thing to pack is different layers of clothes, no matter what season you are in • Bare in mind that it's illegal to camp outside campings in Iceland (this is under your own responsibility) and this guide is not focusing on camping sites. • Be aware of the fast changing and though Icelandic weather. • Bring eye mask to sleep (there's almost no darkness during the Midnight Sun). • Feel free to modify the starting point of the road trip (either starting from the South or the West) according to the weather forecast (although it can be unpredictible). • I would not recommend taking detours that I suggest along the blog if weather conditions are not good. • Note that the maximum speed limit in Iceland is 90 km/h in main roads, make sure you don't overpass the limit. Traffic fines are very expensive in Iceland, you don't want to pay one! And be careful with sheep! They are constantly crossing the road. And most importantly, ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO ICELAND!! 😜🇮🇸 *all the pictures in this blog are mine otherwise stated
