5.00Absolutely amazing experience. Jay adjusted the hike to meet the skill level of our group and made sure the conditions on the glacier were safe. He even brought the sunshine on what was to be a rainy and cloudy day. Highly recommend this tour group and the experience was epic!!!

5.00If you like doing long day hikes and reasonably fit enough to climb up and down mountains, this hike is for you. Our guide was Guemo. His character and energy made the hike a pleasure! He made sure we all understood how to use gears and follow all the safety guidelines.
Absolutely breathtaking!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience that I will remember fondly for a long time! Our guide was awesome, making sure we were safe, was very informative on what we were seeing and generally made sure we had a lot of fun. I was worried when I saw that our tour date fell on a very rainy day, but I am still very glad that we did it because experiencing the ice and seeing the view from up there was still breathtaking - I can only imagine how great this is on a sunny day, if I already enjoyed it this much in the rain! We went up higher on the glacier than expected and the higher we got, the more impressive it became. The admission fee is fair (also considering general Icelandic prices) and the group size felt fine. Definitely plan for the full five hours, maybe six for some extra buffer.

5.00Our guide (Gio?) was amazing. He was so enthusiastic and friendly and scouted out really cool areas to look out. There was no pressure to keep a certain pace and we stayed out longer than expected on the glacier. A once in a lifetime experience and exceeded my expectations. Ended up around a 7km hike with lots of undulations and some steeper ascents.

5.00We did the "Arctic Adventures: Glacier Explorer" tour and it was amazing. We booked last minute (night before the tour) to make sure we have sunny weather and it turned out to be amazing. Our guide, Kevin, was really caring for everyone to have a good time and went the extra mile to make sure we can see more of the glacier. We had a wonderful time, thank you for guiding us!
