Katla ice cave tour from Vík price
What moves the price from Vík
From Vík you pay €158–260 per person. The price moves with three things: the departure slot, the operator and the length. Gravel Travel charges €158 off-peak and €193 on peak slots; Arctic Adventures €176 for its discounted 15:00 departure and €209 for the other five.
Troll.is costs more — €239 — because it adds a walk across the glacier, and its four-hour extended tour costs €260. The FastTrack tour (€226) and the Mýrdalsjökull tour (€245, gloves and head-wear supplied) sit in between.
For most people the useful comparison is €176 against €158: the cheapest slot of the most-reviewed tour against the cheapest tour overall. Both include the Super Jeep, helmet and crampons; the difference is the rating and the time of day.

Katla ice cave tour from Reykjavík price
What the extra money buys
- Pickup in Reykjavík
- 374 km there and back
- Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss
- Wi-Fi on board
The difference, €81 per person, is what you pay not to drive. For two people sharing a car, driving usually comes out cheaper — fuel aside.
Day trips from Reykjavík cost €239–285 per person, against €158–260 for a tour from Vík. The difference buys 374 km of transport, pickup in the city, Wi-Fi on board and stops at Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss.
The small-group trip is cheapest at €239 and shortest at 10 hours. Arctic Adventures charges €249, the same as its Super Jeep tour with Reykjavík pickup; the minibus tour €254; BusTravel €273 from Bus Stop #12 or €285 with a hotel transfer.
Compare that with driving yourself: a Vík tour from €158 plus car hire and fuel for the 374 km. For two or more people sharing a car, driving usually comes out cheaper; alone, the day trip often wins.

Katla ice cave tour price in ISK
GetYourGuide shows Katla tours in euros on our pages, but you can pay in the currency you choose at checkout, including Icelandic krónur. At the European Central Bank reference rate of 137.20 ISK per euro on 10 November 2026, the cheapest tour is about 21,700 ISK.
The day trips from Reykjavík come to roughly 32,800–39,100 ISK. These are conversions, not quotes: the final amount depends on the currency you pick and your card’s exchange rate.
If you pay with a card in a third currency, check whether your bank charges a foreign-transaction fee — on a €249 tour a 3% fee adds about €7.

GetYourGuide’s listing shows a lower per-person “from” figure for these tours, calculated at the largest party. The price you pay at booking is the group price we list.

Is the extended tour worth €260?
The Troll.is extended tour costs €260 for four hours; the standard Troll.is tour €239 for three. You pay €21 for one more hour on the glacier and in the cave, with the same 9:30 start.
It is worth it if the ice is the point of your trip and you want time for photos without rushing. It has only eight reviews so far, averaging 4.8; one guest noted that fog hid the view from the jeep. If price matters more, the €176 Super Jeep slot gives you the same cave in three hours.
Pay €260 if
- You want the most time on the ice
- You are a keen photographer
- The 9:30 start suits you
Save €21 if
- You are on a budget
- You have mobility issues — the tour excludes them
- You want a long track record of reviews
