Truly amazing!

5.00Truly amazing experience! Did you know that far less then 1% of individuals experience this in the whole world?!? That’s crazy! The guide is very knowledgeable about how the glaciers have receded in years past, how to keep you safest and also making sure you are comfortable learning the process. As my tour bus driver said though “watch out for snow snakes, they aren’t like normal snakes…they tend to be your buddy Allen who throws a snowball at you.” What a truly great time! Activity level wise not as hard as I thought but you will be hiking a bit along with using your leg muscles, back and arms a bit. You will be sore the next day if you are a wimp like me 😂
Beautiful, unique experience!

5.00The glacier hike and climb are a workout - especially in winter. The climb was challenging, but fun! The views were amazing! Our guide, Monika, kept us moving and was incredibly encouraging whenever anyone struggled with the climbs. “Moderate” activity level is not “cruise ship moderate” in terms of effort needed. It’s a workout!
Nice experience

5.00Steve is a really experienced and helpful guide. He explained all the precautions in detail and I felt safe thorough the activity. Most of us are girls with no previous experience before but Steve was patient and prepared routes that were suitable for us. He took really nice pictures for us as well. I did have a great time with him. And I would say glacier climbing it’s something you must try in Iceland.
Incredible Glacier Adventure with Kind and Supportive Guides

5.00The Blue Ice Climbing Adventure tour was an unforgettable experience. Our guides, Daniel and Franco, were fantastic, knowledgeable, patient, and super supportive from start to finish. They made sure everyone was geared up properly. I ended up renting firmer boots, which turned out to be the right choice once we got on the ice. The glacier hike itself was stunning and manageable thanks to the guides’ clear tips and pacing. The ice climbing portion was definitely challenging for me personally. It requires coordination and strength, and Daniel was incredibly kind and encouraging the entire time. He guided me through each step, offered helpful advice, and made sure I felt safe even when I struggled. While I didn’t master the climb, it was still a rewarding and memorable experience. It is a true bucket list adventure that taught me a lot about myself and what glacier climbing entails. I would not change a thing. Huge thanks to Daniel and the Arctic Adventures team for making it such a supportive day on the ice.
Glacier walk was amazing, ice climbing took it to the next level

5.00Nobody in our group had ever done ice climbing before, but our guide Steve took the time to train us and make sure we were comfortable. He also set up an anchor rope so we could safely go to the edge of the moulin and watch people climb. Don't worry about footwear, just rent the specialized boots with reinforced toes they have on site (I think they were ~$10). All other gear is included.
Super cool adventure with Guid Steve

5.00The hiking was challenging and I loved the tour. Was a good mix of hiking and climbing and we saw different parts of the glacier. The tour guide adapted the tour to our needs because some were not experienced at climbing. You do not need climbing experience however, only do the tour if you are fit, because climbing with an axe is another level :D you can expect having to rent shoes unless you have climbing shoes. Hiking boots will in most cases not be sufficient for this tour
Go try ice climbing

5.00Loved this experience, definitely one of the most memorable (and hard) things I've done. Highly recommend - our guides were also so amazing and personable. Made the experience even better.
Fantastic ice climbing experience for beginners!

5.00The experience was beyond my expectations as this was our first time ice hiking and climbing. Our guide Steve was a lot of fun, explaining things as we moved along. We had nervous hikers/climbers in our family and we always felt safe. The ice climbing experience was amazing! Steve found a challenging "hole". It was very exciting to get several meters into the glacier. His clear explanation/demonstrations made the experience truly unique! My kids are now excited to try it again!
