Great tour, small group- Disco was amazing! - I had booked an ice cave tour with them, but unfortunately it was quite sunny when we were visiting and most ice caves were not viable. The company managed to find a tiny ice cave and combine it with a glacier walk to make it a good experience. We started the tour with some equipment and a short drive to the glacier. We were then taught to wear and walk in our crampons. Our guide Disco was lovely- he gave us a lot of information and fun facts about the glaciers, and natural processes. He also told us about great camera angles and we got lovely pictures. We were a total of 6 people plus Disco- and the small group experience was wonderful. I highly recommend them!

Great Introduction to Glacier Trekking! - My husband and I really enjoyed this “Intro” to glacier touring. Mary was our friendly, fantastic guide and gave us all a good lesson in using the crampons and ice axes we were outfitted with. She explained the features of the glacier and showed us many of ice formations that most of us have only read about! Safety was always first. It was a great tour!

Highly recommend this tour - This was a great experience, with a really great guide (Flo). He was super patient and laid back and knowledgeable. He made sure all of us stayed safe and aware of how to do so. Walking on the glacier was an amazing experience. Glad we did this tour and not longer ones we saw, as the climb uphill before getting to the glacier was a bit challenging, but doable.

Day 3 of 10 in Iceland - Recommended to us by Hidden Iceland, this was an excellent choice. Flo made sure the "encounter" was fun, safe and educational.

You don’t want to miss this!! - Wow!!! What an amazing experience! Our family (including two kids in college) loved it and Lucas, our guide. He built our trust super fast such that we followed his lead and did new things way out of comfort zones. He is very knowledgeable, taught us so much about glaciers and this area. He always kept us safe and did a fabulous job of reading our abilities and comfort level to create a personalized experience. We came to learn he is an industrial engineer by education. He applied his intellect and skills so perfectly to being meticulous in caring for our family’s safety while creating such a memorable time for us. This experience will be the one we all talk about the most from our 9 days in Iceland. It is worth the money if you want adventure!! we will telling all our friends about Lucas and Glacier Encounters. You won’t regret it!!

Magnificent Glacier - A great experience to walk on a glacier! Our guides Sam and Asta could not have been more accommodating. There was a bit of a hike “up” to the glacier which may not be for everyone. But the glacier was magnificent.
