Reviews summaryDefinitely amazing tour. Not a very thrilling adventure, but still you can enjoy the astonishing scenery and learn some glacier knowledge. I would recommend it.
You can rent stiff boots on-site for 1,500 ISK per person. Once you're actually out on the glacier, the guide will pick one or two ice caves for you to explore. The tour is pretty weather-dependent, though.
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 tour guide was very attentive and explained everything thoroughly! They constantly checked on the group's progress during the trip, so we never felt rushed or left behind! I highly recommend this 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👍.
this planned activity is quite good except the weather condition that is not favorable which cause us not able to complete the ice cave tour. the guide George is fantastic and really enjoy the time that we spend there
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!
I originally thought the glacier was just scenery before my eyes, but actually stepping onto it made me feel its grandeur and awe-inspiring nature. Cold, pure, and vast, it is an experience hard to describe in words, and it became the most unforgettable memory of this trip to Iceland. Lasting about 3 to 4 hours, it includes hiking while introducing the attractions and the origin of the glacier.
The itinerary is quite intense; people who don't exercise will feel like they're dying. The caves we visited this time were very small and a bit cramped. Overall, it was a very unique experience.
