100/10 experience🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Glacier Adventure was phenomenal! When we needed our time slot moved they were so accommodating and rescheduled us. Our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Because of the longer tour our group got to go to another section that none of the other tours did. We got the entire section to ourselves unrushed. Even just having hot cocoa at the end of the tour. Everything’s was delightful and phenomenal.

Unforgettable Ice Cave Experience with a Personal Touch - Thank you for an exceptional experience. Our visit to the ice cave with a small group was truly memorable. Our guide, Christina, provided insightful information about the cave, and we especially appreciated the intimate, almost family-like atmosphere created by the small group size. Thank you again for this unique and unforgettable experience.

Fantastic small group adventure with a great guide - This was a great tour into a Crystal ice cave that had several chambers. We particularly chose to go with Glacier Adventures as they are a local company who run small group tours - our group was 10 people - which we prefer to the bigger groups we saw. We really enjoyed the tour - the ice caves were spectacular and the views on the glacier afterwards were wonderful. Our guide, Guillermo, was fantastic - very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He made the tour feel very personal and we learnt a lot about the cave and the glacier. It was easy enough to walk through the caves - we had to duck a few times to pass between chambers, so felt like we'd had a real caving adventure!

Excellent tour with Filip! - Wow! What an amazing tour. This was by the far highlight of our trip to Iceland - our guide Filip was so informative and showed us all the nooks and crannies of the cave. We were able to spend 75 minutes in the cave and learned so much about it. I highly recommend this tour and company!

Best adventure forever in blue ice caves - Best adventure forever! Great guide, very trustful safety instructions. Easy booking. The caves were discovered a few months ago and we were one of the first visitors in the morning so the experience was unforgettable. Also the ride to the caves was an adventure, we saw reindeers!
