Reviews
Great opportunity to experience hiking on a glacier and climbing up an ice wall, especially since the glaciers are receding. Guides were knowledgeable, and funny. Climbing gear is provided, appropriate outerwear can be rented if needed. This is booked through adventures.is and i chose to join in the tour at the glacier itself
guide Monika was super nice, experienced and helped us at very step. encouraged the group. very happy to have this experience
Awesome trip! the glaciers are beautiful! The guides are professional! Worth to go there to spent a day time.
A great experience (particularly the ice climbing) and well organised day. The guide for the ice climbing, Steven, was knowledgable, safety concious and thorough in his explanations that gave me the confidence to push myself into some incredible situations on the glacier. Were it not for his professionalism and attention to detail, I doubt I would have had the same experience. Highly recommend this for an adventure seeking day up close to the glacier, especially if Steven is at the helm!
no complaints about this one, only complements. guide (Miguel and Daniel) were very experienced, assessed the situation well and organised everything well. this tour included ice climbing, 5 hours in total, and try the best to stick to schedule. would recommend unreservedly.
Unbelievable experience, fast and on-time pickup service, coaches and guides are kind and professional, stunning view, highly recommend.
Our tour guide, Monica, was very friendly and made sure we were safe. Thank you!
This activity was a lot of fun. The tour guide explained everything in great detail throughout the entire trip and took care of every group member.
I’m a first timer for ice climbing and Daniel our tour guide is fantastic and patiently taught us the climbing skills.
Great Hike & Climb! Daniel was a Great Guide! Rating 11/10
