5.00We went on an unexpectedly private guided tour on February 2nd. We had a really good time with our tour guide, Lucy, she was sweet, informative and we had a good talk. The glacier was beautiful and for a first time on a glacier the tour was the perfect amount of challenge for us.

5.00We had a great time hiking the Glacier with Arctic Adventures. They were very professional and had adequate gear, crampons, helmet and ice axe. Our guide was great and we had perfect weather during our glacier trekking. There was a small ice cave that we walked into which was cool and hiked through some crevasses. We booked three tours with Arctic Adventures and had an exceptional experience with all of them.
A breathtaking experience

5.00The Blue Ice Cave & Glacier Hike on Vatnajökull was indeed a breathtaking experience. From a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter mesmerising ice caves and gorgeous crevices in the glacier's ice, I found myself surrounded by stunning icescapes that truly flaunt the beauty of Iceland's nature. We had two incredible tour guides, Ola and Marketa, who were professional, engaging, and experienced. I felt confident that I was in good hands and I highly encourage this experience to the readers of this review.

5.00Had a great experience with Arctic Adventures. The team ensured safety at all times and was helpful when teaching us how to put on the crampons. The tour did not feel rushed at all, we went at golden hour and the views were spectacular! Shoutout to our guides, Ola and Marketa for being so outgoing and friendly throughout the entire session, definitely made our tour memorable. It is my first time in a cave and hiking on a glacier and I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Great glacier hike with ice cave
