We were a group of 5 on an 8 day tour in August 2022. Here are our reviews:
Johann is an experienced & knowledgeable outdoorsman who guided us through 8 days of wonderful terrain including walking through lava tubes, across lava fields, around craters and, suitably equipped, up a glacier. I was most impressed by his ability to arrange alternative spectacular places to walk when weather prevented us from pursuing the walks on our programme.
His services are highly recommended.
Cynthia Breheny
Our guide was very thorough in his planning & his passion for the many unique features of Iceland was obvious. With safety of his group as his top priority he led us on many interesting & exhilarating walks & climbs including a long steep glacier climb which required the party of 6 to be roped in line together to safely cross several small crevasses.
Every day was varied in terms of either terrain & snow/ice conditions, while Johann's top priority was the safety & morale of the party.
As a result of this wonderful experience we would have no hesitation in recommending his company to our friends & colleagues.
Peter May
Johann is an excellent guide who cares about the interests and needs of his clients, while putting safety first. Being an older group, we appreciated his client focus and ability to adapt the schedule. He took us walking up a glacier, roped up, and down lava caves. When the weather was bad, he found alternative beautiful wild places to visit. Johann is friendly, capable, very knowledgeable about Iceland and a great saga-teller. We highly recommend his services as a guide and tour leader.

I found Johann's personality to be ideal for our needs. He was faced with an older and less experienced group than he had a right to expect. He showed endless patience and adaptability, changing plans to suit our interests, safety considerations and the weather, and gave us one of the greatest experiences of our lives. I would recommend him wholeheartedly as a guide to Iceland.

Fantastic Views. Great Information. Great Guide (Bjorn). Price is more than worth it. Well Done! A trip that needs a guide as well. Our best experience in Iceland.

We were in Iceland for a week in Sept and did the Katla Ice Cave tour with our pre-teen kids. Johann was simply phenomenal! He kept our kids engaged with funny Viking stories and interesting facts of the land and geography.
He is a local, his family has been in the area for many generations and so knows the land like the back of his hand!
The small group made it very personable. I would definitely recommend this over the larger tour companies (we passed bus loads of 20-40 people in each group!)
Also: If you stay at his hotel (Volcano Hotel), you will also get a handsome discount on the tour!

We spent two FABULOUS days with Johann! He was a wonderful guide and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore southern iceland. First we hiked on the Solheimajokull glacier, and then we took the Katla Super Truck/Ice Cave Tour. Both days were outstanding -- and a big part of that was due to Johann's wealth of knowledge about Iceland's geology and history. He were also incredibly kind and supportive to those in our group who hiked with less confidence than others. If we are ever lucky enough to visit Vik again, we will certainly look forward to spending more time with Johann and Mountain Excursions!

We had an amazing time on this tour. Johann is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of family history within the region so had some great stories to share with us. We lucked out and it ended up just being the two of us with Johann so we got to ask any stupid question we wanted. I was nervous at the start because the weather in Vik was pretty dreary and foggy, but once we got out to the ice cave, it was totally clear with amazing views. I would absolutely recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

We drove through the lava fields and hiked to the glacier and into the ice cave. Jóhann was our driver/guide who was knowledgeable and funny. In the ice cave he served us gin shots with 1000 year old ice!!! Told us the story of Katya and how the volcano was formed It was rainy and we hit a flat tire on the way back which only added to our adventure. Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure to go on a "private" tour with Johann, (just the two of us) and all we have to say is; what a guide!
Johann is experienced, local, knowledgeable and a catching story teller. He is considerate, responsible and challenging. All We want from a guide!
We both are experienced travellers, but this is the best tour and the best guide we've ever had

Fuimos un grupo de cincuentones con Johann de abanderado, hicimos la excursión de la cueva de hielo y del senderismo en el glaciar, y, todo fue estupendo.
Tuvo una inmensa paciencia con nosotros, consiguió que hiciéramos la ruta entera. Nos encanto todo lo que nos enseño y nos relato.
Os recomiendo a todos las dos excursiones porque las considero imprescindibles para la visita de Islandia. Y, por supuesto, teneis que hacerlas con el.
Lo único que no le perdono, es que, acabo de leer que a alguien les bajo a una cueva de hielo...Y a nosotros no??????...
Pues lo tendras que hacer en la siguiente.
Un saludo Johann

This was definitely one of the most physically demanding things we did in Iceland. Our SuperTruck tour to the ice cave required hiking (with provided crampons and hardhats with lights) in sometimes very deep snow, crawling through cave using hands and knees (half the group turned back). The remaining group crawled through very tight places, crossed glacier top mountain and scampered down the outside of the mountain. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable. The guide was very personable and answered all our questions regarding life in Iceland, socialized medicine, education system, business, etc. He also pointed out places that Star Wars movies were filmed, gave us tips of other sites to explore on our own, etc. He only took the 6 of us so didn't feel we were in a "group" and we could personalize it somewhat to what we wanted.

Thank you for your review
Yes the conditions were difficult on your day, lot of snow, but still a beautiful day :)
Last winter it was not good for everyone to crawl through the inner tunnel like part of your group did, but everyone could go into the front cave ca. 50 meters long.
The conditions are changing now with rising sun, less snow and the cave gets bigger everyday, and in few days there will be no snow, summer and winter time up there are two different worlds.

Hi ! Thank you for your request.
I hope you are talking about March 2019 not 2018.
It should be no problem to take you out on a Ice climbing tour in March. Please send me e-mail on johann@volcanohotel.is to book this tour :)
Thank you.

I am planning a visit to Iceland in March 2016, and on a budget! Trying to get an idea of how best to spend my money, and would like to know how much these tours are. I would much rather do this than a bus tour, and can only really afford one. I'll be hiring a car, but know lots of places will be inaccessible on my own.
Thanks in advance!

The Mountain Excursion SuperJeep tour we took was 23000 ISK per person. There were 6 of us in the SuperJeep with Johann who was an excellent guide. It isn't necessary to stay in the Volcano Hotel, although we did, but the other people were picked up at another hotel in Vik. We felt that it was worth the money as Johann was excellent and took us places we couldn't drive ourselves in the rental car.
