Reviews
Highly recommend going on a glacier hike! The guide's explanations were very informative. The entire trip is quite a distance and requires some stamina, but I think it's totally worth it. Glaciers are disappearing rapidly, so seize the opportunity! If you don't have hiking boots, you can rent them on-site. Rental for two people is 3500 ISK.
