Katlatrack Adventure Tours的点评
点评：Excited to write this review! We loved our ice cave adventure from Katlatrack! We chose the normal one from their website, not the fast one.
Some notes on outdoor adventures in Iceland: Weather plays a big part of your experience, and Katlatrack (and most other tour providers) provide free rescheduling 24hrs+ out. So, I highly encourage you to check the weather over and over, and maximize the right adventures based upon the best weather by rescheduling. Also on this topic, Vik is approximately 2 hrs from Reyjkavik without road/weather issues. So if you're planning on driving yourself, give yourself plenty of time.
We met at their location in Vik, where check-in was smooth and they have gear for rent if you need it (they'll provide cramp-ons and helmet for free).
Gear needed: It'll be cold and windy (its Iceland and you're going onto a glacier). I would encourage you to be confident in the waterproofing on your boots (one of us had their waterproofing fail and had to hike the tour in wet feet), and have good gloves and beanie (without pom, the helmet has to go over your hat).
The vehicle: We got into an extended Ford SuperJeep with some of the gnarliest tires I've seen. Ride was smooth on the pavement until we went off-road. Car could have been a little warmer for the ride, but we were also in the very back.
The trip: Pavement ride was smooth, comfortable and our guide gave plenty of useful and exciting pieces of information. The off-road portion is fun, and it's always interesting to see how two large vehicles plan to pass each other on narrow, snowy, slushy "road". But they always did safely.
Note on the off-road portion: I suspect that these tours spend more time off-road than is strictly necessary to get to the glacier, but our guide did say that when its colder and everything is frozen, they can take a faster route. I'd be excited for that. Our vehicle did get stuck trying to get over a final hill for about 15 minutes. But our guide managed to get us unstuck and over. None of us felt that this time reduced the amount of time we got on the glacier. Though we did end up getting back a bit later than originally planned.
The Ice Caves/Glacier itself: The glacier is awesome as you come up on it, the scenery changes from the rocky/snowy landscape to all of a sudden you can spot the blue of the glacier. Then you're there! We got out of the vehicle, everyone received cramp-ons, a helmet and a headlamp and we were off. Our guide did a great job to inform everyone of the hazards (slippery ice, slush, water, etc) and encouraged us to use the ropes/handrails where they existed on the trail.
The ice caves change over time as they're being eroded by the wind, sun and water. So the experience won't be the same. I've seen some reviews being upset by the caves, and all I can say is that nature be naturing. Hopefully your experience will be as great as ours. I suspect that going earlier in the seasons (Dec-June) than later (July-Nov) will result in bigger, more exciting caves but I could be wrong.
The Weather: We were fortunate that we had really good spots of weather, but we also had to walk through some heavy wind, blowing snow and some sleety-rain type stuff. Its Iceland, the weather is gonna weather. Locals would tell us: a good weather day is one without wind. And I believe it.
At the end of the glacier tour, our guide took us out onto the black sand beaches for a few minutes to grab some photos and walk around. It was amazing, but very cold. I was excited to get back in the SuperJeep afterwards.
Summary: We had a great time, I really liked working with Katlatrack (we rescheduled this without issue due to weather issues with other days of our trip) and the glacier/ice caves lived up to expectations.

翻译：很高兴写这篇评论！我们喜欢 Katlatrack 的冰洞探险！我们从他们的网站上选择了普通的，而不是快速的。
关于冰岛户外探险的一些注意事项：天气对您的体验起着重要作用，Katlatrack（和大多数其他旅游提供商）提供 24 小时以上的免费重新安排。因此，我强烈建议您反复查看天气，并通过重新安排，根据最佳天气最大限度地安排正确的探险。同样，维克距离雷克维克约 2 小时车程，没有道路/天气问题。所以如果你打算自己开车，给自己足够的时间。
我们在他们位于维克的位置见面，办理入住手续很顺利，如果您需要，他们可以出租装备（他们会免费提供冰爪和头盔）。
所需装备：天气寒冷多风（这是冰岛，你要去冰川）。我鼓励你对靴子的防水性能充满信心（我们中的一个人的靴子的防水性能不合格，不得不在湿脚的情况下徒步旅行），并戴上好手套和无檐便帽（没有绒球，头盔必须戴在帽子上）。
车辆：我们乘坐的是加长福特超级吉普车，轮胎是我见过的最粗糙的轮胎。在路面上行驶很平稳，直到我们越野。车子本来可以更暖和一些，但我们也坐在最后面。
旅程：路面行驶平稳、舒适，我们的导游提供了很多有用且令人兴奋的信息。越野部分很有趣，看到两辆大型车辆如何在狭窄、积雪、泥泞的“道路”上计划超越对方总是很有趣的。但他们总是安全地做到了。
注意越野部分：我怀疑这些旅行团在越野上花费的时间比到达冰川所需的时间要多，但我们的导游确实说过，当天气变冷，一切都结冰时，他们可以走一条更快的路线。我很期待这一点。我们的车在试图翻过最后一座山时确实被困了大约 15 分钟。但我们的导游设法让我们摆脱困境并越过山丘。我们都没有觉得这次减少了我们在冰川上的时间。虽然我们最终比原计划晚了一点回来。
冰洞/冰川本身：当你爬上冰川时，景色非常棒，景色从岩石/雪景突然变成了蓝色的冰川。然后你就到了！我们下了车，每个人都拿到了冰爪、头盔和头灯，然后我们出发了。我们的导游非常出色地告知了每个人危险（滑冰、雪泥、水等），并鼓励我们在路上使用绳索/扶手。
冰洞会随着时间而变化，因为它们会被风、太阳和水侵蚀。所以体验不会相同。我看到一些评论对洞穴感到不满，我只能说自然就是自然。希望您的体验会和我们一样棒。我怀疑在季节早期（十二月至六月）而不是晚期（七月至十一月）去会得到更大、更刺激的洞穴，但我可能错了。
天气：我们很幸运，我们遇到了非常好的天气，但我们也不得不穿过一些大风、吹雪和一些雨夹雪之类的东西。这是冰岛，天气会变。当地人会告诉我们：好天气是没有风的一天。我相信这一点。
冰川之旅结束时，我们的导游带我们去了黑沙滩，拍了些照片，四处走走。那里很棒，但很冷。之后我很高兴能回到超级吉普车上。
总结：我们玩得很开心，我真的很喜欢和 Katlatrack 一起工作（由于我们旅行的其他日子天气不好，我们重新安排了行程，没有出现任何问题），冰川/冰洞不负众望。
