Book This Company! - This was AMAZING! Highly recommend! The jeep ride out was worth the trip in and of itself and confirmed the fact that these glaciers should only be explored with an expert! A very fun day learning about the volcano, the glacier, and the science and history of it all. The guides are knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. This was a great option for our family of 4 and I would recommend them to anyone considering this.

Great afternoon experience on the glacier. - Highly recommend! We had a great guide (Hawk) and the glacier was very interesting. A couple hours of driving for an hour on site, but worth it. Great drive out, too.

Go for it ! - What a great experience we had. It was fun, knowledgeable, exciting, moderate active, our guid was vwry fun! We went on a big truck through raugh areas to the volcano, had a beautiful walk to the top of the volcano, walked down to the heart of the volcano, had a walk through the ice cave, and took bunch of pictures. It is a beautiful scenery. Bring some water with you, in case you get thursty walking up top and of course don't forget the camera!

Amazing and frustrating - Amazing this eye of ice but probably the last time (year) for me amazing and frustrating that this will survive because of the glacier melt

Gorgeous - Great outing with Martin as a guide, great. Magnificent landscape after access by "big car", walk to reach the ice cave. Even without the sun it was magical. A bit expensive though.

See a glacier from the outside and inside!! - You will get to ride in a vehicle that can take you where most others will never go! After walking about 20 minutes you will strap some crampons on your shoes and head to the glacier. The views are stunning both outside and in. It is an amazing experience!

Favorite Excursion - Out of all of the excursions we did, this was my favorite! It was beautiful scenery from Reykjavik to Vik. The Bristo was easy to find and we ate there afterwards. It was really good. There are bathrooms at the pick up point, you will want to stop there prior to the tour. The tour picks you up in white enclosed jeeps. The drive is about 30 minutes to the caves. Once we went off road it is bumpy, but beautiful seeing snow covered mountains, volcanic rock/dust and the glacier. The ice caves are truly amazing!! It is a pretty good walk up hill to get to the crampons. Once we got those on it was much easier to walk on the ice and snow. The wind is an issue when it comes up, so be sure to wear rain/wind pants as an extra layer of clothing. It is so cool when you get up into the caves! I have nothing but praise for our tour guides. They both went above and beyond their normal duties to help with my grandson who has balance issues and has to hold on to someone on uneven surfaces. When the wind came up it was more than my husband and I could handle, we were trying to keep ourselves up. They took over and he said it was a great experience!
