Reviews
Amazing glacier hike experience in Iceland! The guide was super friendly and professional, explained everything clearly, and made the whole trip safe and fun. The view on the glacier was breathtaking — definitely a must-do activity in Iceland!
Wear hiking boots that cover your ankles. Shoes that don't cover the ankles, ankle boots with soft toes, or Martin boots are not suitable. Boot rentals are available for 1500 kr. The guide is professional and engaging.
The guide was great, constantly providing information and helping with photos. For the itinerary, we first picked up crampons and an ice axe, then walked a long distance. Once we arrived, we changed into our shoes and started climbing the glacier. It was very beautiful and not too far.
Hiking difficulty: Easy Equipment provided: Crampons, others available for rent Itinerary: Approximately 3 hours Scenery: Glacier
very easy hike, only a walk, no climbing. was kinda boring. think the guide didn't value add much or show or tell us more interesting things beyond what is obvious and we already know (e.g. why is the glacier so black). I was expecting more showcasing of interesting features or nice photogenic parts of the glacier. the experience is not worth the hefty price tag.
The tour guide was very attentive to safety, which is important. Would recommend!
The tour guide was great, and the timing was well-managed 👍
It was a very memorable trip. The glacier tour guide was very professional, careful and patient! I look forward to taking part in the trip with the Blue Cave next time!
The tour guides were two very friendly ladies. You could feel their enthusiasm for the glaciers. They boosted the atmosphere of the entire group and prevented us from feeling too tired. If you are older (over 60), it is better to participate after you have a simple exercise habit. It will not be dangerous. But the main thing is that after putting on the equipment, you have to walk on some gravel roads, which is not so easy to walk.
A highly recommended itinerary that is worth a visit. The tour guide is awesome. The ice spring water on the mountain is super delicious. We drink it in Viking style.
