Nice hike, cool guide, disappointing cave
LIa_F
, Jul 2021
The guide was great but the cave itself was anticlimactic. I was expecting an actual cave and it was more of a hole in the ice you could barely stand up in. I wish it was advertised more accurately so people can make informed decisions, esp since this was the more expensive cave tours. The hike out there was beautiful
It's cheating

Very interesting tour but ...

, Sep 2019
The ice cave was very interesting and the guide was very good. My only objection was that it is advertised as a Jeep tour with a small group. We were in a 15 passenger totally packed van. Had we been driving through the sand in a Jeep with 6-8 passengers would have been fun but being crammed in the last seat of this van was not. Had it been advertised more honestly you wouldn’t start out disappointed.

Ice cave tour in summer?
francis2018
, Jul 2019
Hi, we realised ice cave tours are more common in winter and this one is available in summer time. We appreciated the chance to attend, but in hindsight we may not want to go as it may just not be in the right time, what we saw was very different from the advertised photos (and very different from the one posted in Viator), and the ice is melting, and we found that we were in a cave walk rather than an ice cave tour.

Bella esperienza

Bella escursione, la grotta è davvero bella Anche se poccola.
La strada in mezzo alla neve per arrivarci è stata divertente, un po meno per la guida che ha fatto i miracoli per non rimanere bloccato con la super jeep.
Alla fine l' escirsione e durata davvero poco perché è più il tempo della strada che altro.
Consiglio di effettuare oltre alla visita della grotta amche il giro sul ghiacciaio...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
