5.00This is a must do if you are in Iceland! Dennis, our guide, was so knowledgeable and made our experience feel very personal. We hiked at an easy pace and I never felt rushed. We saw a lot of the Glacier, we were able to explore an ice cave and do some easy repelling. It was one of my favorite things we experienced in Iceland.
Amazing experience hiking on a glacier

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
