Best day of my life

5.00I did the tour together with three friends. It was only the four of us, but would have been also okay with two more people I guess, so perfect crowd size. Our Guide was Ivo, who was very nice and funny and supportive. He explained everything well and often let us decide what to do next, we could also choose to stay a bit longer. He also took a lot of nice pictures from us. It was completely worth the money as we had the most perfect glacier experience. We had so much fun and felt safe all the time. I will never forget that beautiful day!
Super fun and adventurous experience!

5.00This was so much fun and one of the highlights of our Iceland trip! Our guide, Rob, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient with all of us. He made us feel very safe considering we've never hiked a glacier before. The hike went on pretty much all day and only has like 6 people making it more intimate and personalized. One thing I recommend for people booking is to wear thick socks or wrap their ankles because the hiking boots they provided cut up the back of my ankle on my Achilles tendon. Overall, highly recommend this to everyone! It's definitely worth the price.
Best activity we did in Iceland!

5.00Awesome trip up the glacier to hike and climb! Indra and Steven were super knowledgeable, friendly, and careful to make sure we were also safe. They lectured us about the geology and history of the glacier while taking breaks on our hike and helped us understand the glacier we were climbing. Absolutely recommend!

5.00My ice climbing and hiking experience with Sara was outstanding. Sara is an expert guide who combines high safety standards with clear, direct technical instruction. The equipment was top-tier and well-maintained, which is critical for a demanding environment. This wasn't a superficial tourist trek; it was a well-paced, physical "project" that offered a legitimate sense of the glacier’s scale. Sara’s deep knowledge of glaciology and her ability to read the ice made the climbing both challenging and rewarding. For anyone valuing professional execution and high-quality gear, I highly recommend requesting Sara for a focused, high-value adventure.
