    DO NOT do in a big group otherwise it will spend 2 hours in a car going to the glacier and many minutes in queues

    The group was so big that we did on an adapted big bus. But the bus was so slow that we felt frustrated for the riding 20 km/h while other small cars did around 20-30 minutos we spent 1 HOUR. And because the group was so big, the queues to take photos were also big and we didn't enjoy so much. Maybe in a small group we should have time to enjoy the beautiful place. It was also difficult to checkin because there was no sign of "Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure". We found because we started to ask everyone. TO the company: Please do not use this bus anymore with tourists, it is too old. DO NOT do in a big group otherwise it will spend 2 hours in a car going to the glacier and many minutes in queues

    Intimate tour, great guide, peaceful exploration

    We had an incredible tour with an excellent guide. At this time of year, it was just us, another couple, and the guide, which made the experience wonderfully intimate. We spent plenty of time exploring the cave and had ample opportunity to ask all our questions. Often, we found ourselves alone in entire sections of the cave, as our guide skillfully avoided other groups. It was a truly memorable adventure!

    EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL

    We drove 4 hours to get to our tour and were told by another tour company that our tour had been cancelled. No email, phone call or any notification at all and they aren’t answering their phone. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL

    Response from the operator: We are very sorry you did not get our messages - All guests get sent emails and texts if there is a cancellaton - For some reason - a thechnical problem it seems, some of our messages did not get through although they look delivered in our sent items - This has nevery happened before - ac annident and we are very sorry it happened. Very best, Elli

    Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Crystal Blue Ice Cave Adventure start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
