Our guide Anya is just amazing. She is very knowledgeable about the glacier and explained very well. she is extremely careful about safety of every team member. She held the hand of a team member who had some difficulties walking to make sure she got to enjoy the hike. very caring guide. We are so lucky to have her. Thank you Anya.

The experience was excellent, the guides are experienced and also helped take photos. If you encounter good weather, the experience is even more complete. One of the must-do trips when visiting Iceland!

Review for: Join-in hiking tour

Breathtaking surroundings and an amazing experience hiking the glacier. The guide did an excellent job of taking us to see an ice cave, hike the glacier, and see some of the crevaces in the glacier. I'd highly recommend this experience and company as we were able to see more than most groups who take hikes on this glacier. I would classify the hike difficulty as easy to moderate. My only negative was it took us almost an hour after the start time to actually get on the bus to the glacier. This caused the experience to end an hour later than the stated time and affected the remainder of our plans for the day.

Although it is not possible to visit the amazing ice caves during the season, the tour guide was very energetic, the glacier hiking was fun, and I tasted the cleanest ice water👍.

Review for: Join-in hiking tour

it’s definitely an eye opener. it’s a must visit place in Iceland. Tour guide is so friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. She guide us well. the only downside is that you need to be at least fit enough to do a 2km hike and manage steep slope. Legs can be quite tiring as you need to stem your feet on the ice whenever you take a step. The view is so scenic and wonderful. Too bad we can only visit just 1 small cave due to the weather conditions. The guide had also share much knowledge with us in regards to the glacier 👍. Money well spent.

Review for: Join-in hiking tour

The overall number of people was significant, but they dispatched a corresponding number of guides, dividing the entire group into three smaller groups. It was especially thoughtful that they separated the groups by difficulty level, allowing members to participate freely.
