We had a very fun trip with Birkir and just one other couple. It was a great day to be underground because the wind was gusting so strong it could literally have knocked us down. Birkir took care to … Full review by Laillaski

Little bit climbing on the ice and million dollar view after that in the cave. Local tripguide was very funny and intresting person. Full review by Sightseer55471710461

This tour was great. We were picked up at our hotel and after a 1 hour bumpy ride and a walk across a lava field we arrived at their trailer. They give you boots for walking on the ice & a helmet.… Full review by thebruckers
Can we go there by ourselves without the tour? Just drive/hike up and go in?

Hi Mattovey1000 You can not go to Lofthellir Cave by yourself. The cave is private property. The reason for this is that the cave is very delicate. The stalagmites and ice sculptures inside the dark cave are very fragile and a trained guide is required for entry, in order to protect this delicate location. The road is as well an unofficial trail, and your car rental company will probably not allow you driving on it. best Baldvin All the best
What is the difference between the two tours? And is it possible to meet at Lake Myvatn instead of Aukreyri?
A:
I am guessing there is not much difference between the tours other than driving time. Lake Myvatn is where the offroad portion to get to the Cave starts. Aukreyi is quite some distance …
I am guessing there is not much difference between the tours other than driving time. Lake Myvatn is where the offroad portion to get to the Cave starts. Aukreyi is quite some distance from Laka Myvatn.
How much physical exertion, bending over and fitting in tight spaces is involved in the ice cave tour?

The van parks a distance away from the entrance of the cave. You walk about 20 minutes over rough ground to get to the cave. Then you change into cave gear - spiked boots and hard hats. Then you walk to the cave entrance, climb into a hole in the ground, walk through the cave a distance to get to the actual entrance. From there you squeeze into a tight space to get in the cave using a rope to pull yourself. After that you are in the cave and must crab walk, crawl, and slide to get to different spots. This cave is very beautiful and is worth it but be prepared. My husband was 68 and did fine but he is very active. I am 58 and had no trouble either other than freezing because i got wet from sliding around on the ice. The most treacherous part was going down the stairs in the hole in the ground. There was no handrail and it seemed very unsteady.
