Amazing experience!

5.00Denis was our guide for the afternoon. He was an amazing guide and was so knowledgeable about the glacier and its history. We had a partially planned path to get on the glacier, but then had some time to have some guided exploration, seeing different features. We got some experience with the crampons and pickaxes. The entire tour and experience was so incredible. I highly recommend this experience!
The coach is very professional

5.00I believe we spent about 2.5 hours on this tour. Hennes was our guide and as always they joke about it being their first day except at the end of the tour we found out it really was his first day doing glacier tours (experienced in other tours). Neither my husband nor myself would have ever guessed. He was very knowledgeable, safe, fun and we had a blast on this trip! I would recommend this to anyone who has never been on a glacier as a great first time experience. We look forward to booking with this company again on our next trip to Iceland. Thanks for the unforgettable memories and great photos, Hennes!!!

5.00I made the reservation the day before and mistakenly booked for the wrong time. I left a note for the tour guide through the booking app. I was contacted quickly to adjust the time. Very accommodating. We arrived 20 minutes before the tour as directed and were met by Leo. Leo is a very professional guide who walked us through the provided equipment, helmet, pick ax, harness and crampons. Be sure to dress well for the cold as the movement is slow and deliberate, ensuring safety. We hiked to the glacier and walked up on the glacier. There Leo directed us how to move safely and told us all about glaciers, ice formations and the history of this glacier. He was very friendly and put us at ease. We even used the harness to look into a well created by a glacier melt vortex(moulon). After spending a non rushed time on the glacier we took a leasurely walk back to the outfitting building. WC was available at the building. I paid to park via the parka application on my phone.
Great experience!
