Very cool ! - An experience like no other ! We took an organised tour as it was a long drive from Reykjavik. Amazing photo opportunities. Beautiful scenery on the way to the glacier. Wear sturdy footwear and wrap up warmly. Inside the tunnel has some narrow areas and it was a bit slippery underfoot, even with crampons. The guide was very informative and kept the group moving. Worth a visit.

Don’t miss it - Due to our misunderstanding of where to meet we missed the bus. Artic Adventures got us in the tour by driving us. In the ice cave was other worldly. Amazing

Flying to the glacier - Private transfer from the hotel round trip. The driver was running a bit and seemed to be on a roller coaster (it was fun). The driver made three stops, the first to a hot spring, the second to beautiful waterfalls and the third to a rest area complete with convenience store, restaurant and bathrooms. Arriving near the glacier we boarded a Soviet vehicle and reached the tunnel to enter the interior. Not recommended for those suffering from claustrophobia. Guide well prepared and nice. Watch out for temperatures and copious amounts of water in the glacier.

Ran out of fuel on glacier - I want to start by praising our guides; they were fantastic—fun, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. I’d give them a 10/10 for their efforts. However, I must express my serious concerns regarding the safety of our excursion. We got to the glacier and started to make progress upwards but our truck unexpectedly ran out of fuel. This situation struck me as highly unprofessional, as fuel levels should be checked before every trip. My party of three felt unsafe and unnerved, especially when the truck began to slide backward, putting us alarmingly close to a deep crevasse, as our guides pointed out. To make matters worse, we spent an hour waiting for fuel, during which time we felt vulnerable and at risk. If given the option, we would have preferred to turn back rather than continue under such unsafe conditions. It’s frustrating that this situation arose from human negligence rather than weather or other extenuating circumstances. I hope this review prompts the company to reassess their safety protocols to prevent future incidents. Given these concerns, I am seeking a refund for our experience. Thank you. Heather H.

Pick up came n left, just likes a public bus 🤬🤬😡 - We are a group of 20+ waited at hotel, booked through an agency. Voucher indicated to wait at hotel but too bad is that, bus just came n left likes a public bus. We chartered a bus, don’t think the pick up even stop for 2 mins as I was there waiting from 8.30-9am (They mentioned could take up to 30 mins waiting time). Until we solved this issue after 9am n etc etc, we wasted more than an hour… this is terrible and unacceptable!!! We need drive to Husafell for lunch break n toilet before going into the glacier. Yet a leisure n wonderful trip (I suppose) turned into a frustration and rushing journey. Not even enjoy… it’s sad to know that Arctic Adventure such a big company in Iceland could have such poor arrangement. The bus left and didn’t even come back, until there’s a temporary driver came to pick up. A last min driver assigned to drive us to Husafell… As previous reviews, this isn’t the first hiccup happen for the pick up. Please do something n improve in this part ARCTIC ADVENTURE! Incident as this, definitely not the adventure we want from you.

Avoid at all costs - I Ignored the review about them not picking you up. Do Not Make My Mistake!! We were at the pick up site 20 mins early and called the company before and during our pick up window. They told me to be patient and then said I needed to rebook. They made no effort to get my family on the tour. They subcontract pick up so there is no communication. I have taken tours throughout the world and never seen anything like this. To their credit, they did refund the cost of the tour but someone in charge needs to make changes. Watched several tour companies carefully pick up passengers. It’s not that hard and clearly a chronic issue. Respect your time and book elsewhere
