5.00I decided totally last minute that i wanted to do a glacier walk. My family didn’t feel like they wanted to do it, but i did. When i unexpectedly stepped in the people were very friendly and helpful in deciding. I got a discount for booking very last minute. My guide was Ally (don’t know how to write it.) wanted to tip her for her great help, nice information and cheery character, but i don’t carry cash with me :) I definitely loved the views we had. Ally told us in winter the ice is more blue and impressive. But i did like it this way. If i hadn’t decided this late i would’ve booked a longer tour. Ok my return the agency took great care of my family. Thanks!
Unforgettable experience with incredible guide (Brook)

5.00Unforgettable experience led by Brook! We had done an ice climb once before but this trip was 5x better - simultaneous more adventurous with more opportunities for climbing while also feeling safer. Brook will meet you at your level and make the day exceptional for you, I have no doubt. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather and no other groups on the tour, but you’ll have the best time regardless of conditions. If you’re on the fence, definitely book, you won’t regret it.
A must-do experience with amazing guides

The explanations were clear, detailed, and genuinely interesting, and the place we visited is simply stunning. Everything was perfectly organized and absolutely worth the price. A must-do experience! highly recommended!

5.00We did the Blue Ice Experience with Icelandic Mountain Guides. Quick 20 minute 4x4 to base of the glacier and then given instrductions on technique for walking on the glacier with crampons and ice pick safety.. Our guide Marc supported our group with care and encouragement....and humour... and we gained confidence after a few minutes on the ice. Marc offered really interesting insights on how glaciers form, behave and why they look the way they do. It was a truly beautiful and exhilarating experience and Marc made sure everyone felt safe and enjoyed a remarkable opportunity. A great and memorable tour.
