Must Do Adventure for active people - WOW! Most memorable day of great adventure, seeing iceland's best sights, making new friends and Puffins! This was the best of our trip and we highly recommend to anyone who is physcally able to do the not too hard climb. Due to strong winds not sure kids under 14 would do well. We are also on the older side, like 20 years beyond others, but guide assisted us and was ok with some minor lags. Also, awesome bus with wifi and chargers and our guide had one of my spouses favorite playlists. It was a full day with the 3 hour or so hike on the glacier, then to black sand beach, my personal favorite, then off to two amazing waterfalls. We had fun running under the final one even if we got a bit wet.

A surreal adventure! - Our guide Einar was fantastic and despite the brutal wind and rain pelting us, I had a great time and never felt unsafe! The views are unmatched and hiking up the glaciers is a must do experience! Also learned plenty of interesting facts from Einar that made the tour all the more enjoyable! Make sure to pack waterproof hiking boots, layerings including rain pants, extra socks, and a balaclava/ski mask.

Unforgettable Experience - Einar was an excellent guide with a great sense of humor. He taught us about Iceland as we were driving to our destinations. It was our first time glacier hiking and it was tons of fun. The bus was clean and comfortable as well. Highly recommend this experience.

Don’t miss this excursion - I cannot express how much enjoyment my wife and I had on his tour. My wife and I have traveled extensively and have had several tours around the world and we were afraid this trip might be too long but the sites and experiences we were exposed to were once in a lifetime events. Our guide, Einar, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We were able to check off several bucket list items on this trip. We’ve seen several glaciers but never walked on one. We’ve seen several waterfalls but never walked under one. We’ve seen several black beaches but never any as unique. Definitely recommend!

Our favorite experience of the trip! - We did have a car and went back and forth on if we really wanted to join a tour for this, but ultimately decided we wanted to be able to enjoy the scenery. This was our absolute favorite experience on our trip! Our guide, Emir, was very informative and kept us safe on the glacier. He was serious about safely and we appreciate that! He was able to answer our questions and we learned so much from him. He gave us breaks as necessary and made sure we had photo stops so we weren't trying to take pics and vids while traversing the glacier. He also gave us as a group options about length of stops to make sure we could get everything in we wanted to see. 1,000% recommend.

Wonderful glacier hike with Iggy - Glacier hike was incredible! We are in good shape, it was a little tiring hiking up the glacier! We live in a flat land area and are not used to hills. I was good with a few rest stops, I am 66 years old! Iggy was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, the glacier awesome! Black sand beach was beautiful, we saw puffins and a whale in the surf. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Wonderful excursion, would recommend! I would do this again!

South coast - Was very disappointed we did not get to do the glacier hike, no fault of tour company (glacier melt washed out road so it became impassable). Substituted visiting the puffins which was the highlight of the tour.
