Wonderful adventure for families! - This was a fantastic excursion! Our guide, Malek, was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He was great with our kids, and kept everyone safe. I am a nervous person, but I never felt concerned for our safety on this tour. Our guide taught us how to use our crampons, and the walk was not too difficult for us. Fantastic, educational adventure for families with teens and teens! Thank you for a lifelong memory!

Safe, interesting, and beautiful hike. - Our guide was Joao and he was amazing! He did a great job explaining how glaciers work and why the landscape looks the way it does. He answered questions, was patient with me (I’m a slow walker uphill) and was so enthusiastic about the glacier. He really wanted us to understand their beauty and the science behind them.
I especially like how he had us take a minute to ourselves on the glacier just to take it all in. It was incredible and I’m so grateful he was our guide. I felt absolutely safe - he made sure to explain WHY to step in certain spots and not step in others, which was interesting and reassuring.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide - I recently went on a glacier tour in Iceland, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Our guide, Jake, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, engaging, and full of adventurous energy. He shared fascinating details about the glacier’s history and made sure we explored the most stunning spots safely.
The glacier itself was breathtaking, highly recommend this tour—and especially Jake as your guide!

An amazing hike - This was an absolutely incredible experience, and a highlight of our Iceland honeymoon. Our tour guide, Matthew (Bacha) was adorable, informative, patient, and clearly focused on the groups safety and overall enjoyment. We lucked out with incredibly clear weather and amazing views, highly recommend this tour. The hike is worth it!

100% book it, worth it - Book this tour! It’s the best and safest way to see the glacier. The group leases properly fit you for gear and keep a steady pace on the ice so you can see everything. Our tour leader, Matheu, was excellent. He took us into caves, explained the history of the glaciers, and was great at taking our photos. My photos don’t do this experience Justice, you have to experience it yourself.

Wow - Seeing this glacier was awe inspiring, when I didn’t think it could be any better, I actually step foot on this magnificent slab of ice. The crunch of the walk was music to my ears. My family grew ever closer with each step, as we had to fight our way to the top. Although I believe our friendship was enough to survive, we may have plummeted to our death if it wasn’t for our amazing tour guide Thales. We were clearly his favorite people in the group, with good reason. There was a mutual trust between us. A bond. We went places I’d like to believe no one else had. As we laid in our beds that night there was no longer a void that needs to be filled, as we are satisfied with our lives now and can die happy. Thank you Thales, bless you.

You Have To Do This - This was honestly our favorite activity that we did here in Iceland. This was a very memorable experience and so worth the money. Out guide was super sweet and gave us lots of information! Not many people can say they have hiked a glacier. This was absolutely so much fun and we would totally do this again if we come back to Iceland. This was definitely the highlight of our trip. Very unique and beautiful place.

Best guide and tour! - Our guide was Talase and he was amazing! He was extremely demure/ mindful, social, personable and outgoing. He took us away from large crowds and went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, having fun & enjoying our time. Also, we briefly learned about the history of the glacier which was enjoyable. Everything was organized and timely. Well worth the money spent.
