ice cave tours
Two operators we sell for, both running an ice cave tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
Local Guide of Vatnajökull is ahead on more of what we can measure and costs about €46 less a head. The €46 is worth paying to Katlatrack only if more dates to fit around the rest of the trip is what you are after.
Prices are per person for tours priced per person — private charters and vehicle-priced tours are left out, because a car price and a seat price are not comparable.
