Lava caving was cool, there was only our group in the cave (4 of us including our guide). It was nice to chat about some of the Icelandic foods, holidays, and traditions on the way home. For those interested in booking this trip (snorkel + caving) note that opportunities for bathroom are very limited. Otherwise no complaints!”
