★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,746 reviews · 4 hours · from $165

Review of Skaftafell’s four-hour glacier hike and natural ice cave tour, with expert guides, gear, hot drinks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“We had the best time on the Ice Cave Tour and Glacier Hike! Our guide was from the Czech Republic and he was such a legend! He brought such good vibes to the group and made the whole experience even better. He also took the time to talk to us about the effects of global warming and how it’s impacting the glaciers, which we thought was really important. Coming from New Zealand, where you can’t just hike straight onto a glacier like this, it made the whole thing even more special for us. An experience we’ll never forget. We would 100% recommend! Ngā Mihi Nui ❤️”

Review of a Mount Etna trek from Catania with lava caves, craters, expert guides, volcanic views, equipment, and practical planning tips.

“This was a brilliant experience. Our guide, Renato, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the area and explained lots of interesting additional facts about Catania and Sicily. We hiked up the moutain and trekked through the snow. Renato always made sure we were safe and stopped regularly to explain something about the volcano and to ensure that we can take pictures and have a sip of water. The experience and the views were extraordinary. On the day that I went, it was almost windless and the volcano erupted two days prior. So we could see the smoke coming from the crater, which was amazing. The pick up and drop…”
