We had a fantastic experience on this blue ice cave tour. I wish I could remember our guide’s name, but she was terrific. Knowledgeable, kind, careful, and fun! She brought a spiritual element to the tour, which was appreciated. My only strong recommendation to the tour company is to give clear instructions on where to meet up as a group.
Blue Cave was only Ok

I rate this tour as 2.5 stars. Positives: The tour guides were organized and knowledgeable about the glacier. They took great photos inside the cave for all the groups. It was cool to realize you were in an actual cave made of ice. Negatives: There wasn:t much to the tour. You drove for 40 minutes in a jeep and walked for about 15 minutes to the glacier. Then you put on crampons and walked another 5 minutes on the actual glacier into the cave. The cave was small, so there wasn't much to explore. Although the photos are gorgeous and vibrant blue, in person it's only kind of blue. We got exactly what we paid for, but it was kind of boring. The photos definitely make it look cooler than it is.

Guillermo was a lovely host—-knowledgeable, kind, set up rock walking trail for us to enter a cave without getting wet. We got to explore 2 stunning caves! Incredible experience—highly recommend

Had a good time. Spent about 15 min or so driving in the large 4x4 vehicle along an easy F road to the glacier edge. Parked with other tours and hiked over some rocky terrain to the glacier, about another 15 minutes. Toured the cave in sections, each taking about 15 minutes for the 3-4 sections. Lots of other tours in the cave at the same time. Got some good photos and it was a nice experience overall. Photos in the ad aren't the same cave that you'll be seeing however.
A must do

Very unique experience, a wonderful winter adventure! We learned a lot about how ice caves form, navigating inside the cave was tricky, we were lucky to have Alex as our guide!
