Fully recommend private tour! - My boyfriend and I did the private ice climbing tour with the guide Lucas and we loved it! Lucas is very experienced, very informative, and very helpful! 100% recommended!! We recommend this private tour with Glacier Encounters to everyone who wants to visit the glaciers because you will get a much better experience that with a random big group from other tour companies. We also loved that we could do the tour in Spanish with Lucas

We went to the glacier and hiked around with ropes. We then had the opportunity to climb down in to the glacier. - Really good and easygoing guide who makes you feel comfortable and ready to explore. It's a great way to see the glacier in small teams. Our guide made us feel secure and was always ready to answer questions.

An amazing adventure on the glacier - Thank you Lucas for this wonderful day I will never foget! :) I wanted to do something special and adventurous on my 30th birthday so I booked this private tour on the glacier with my friend and Lucas as our guide. Lucas is a very passionate and professional guide, with plenty of experience working on the glaciers and he did an excellent job taking us for a hike on the glacier, showing us all the hidden gems of the glacier, he even found a beautiful blue ice cave for us, a cool spot for ice climbing with great views and shared with us the knowledge about the glaciers. I just couldn't wish for a better birthday :) Highly recommend Glacier Encounter to anyone out there looking for a private tailored made experience on the glacier in Iceland.
