Ice climb and glacier hike

The tour with Margot and Vicky was amazing, they were both wonderful and made the tour a lot of fun. Certainly recommend the ice climbing experience.

We had a fantastic time ice climbing on the largest glacier in Europe, with the help of our highly professional guides. In comparison to other tour providers we saw on the glacier, they provide everything to keep you safe (other providers may not even give you helmets or crampons), offer very useful information throughout the trip (we learned a lot about glaciers), and the ice climbing was a fun, although exhausting experience. We had zero previous experience, and still managed very well - the guides are helpful and encouraging, so give it a go! I'd recommend layers of clothing (in June the weather can vary from quite warm to icy cold ) with some waterproofs on top, but make sure you have room to move. Also, the bus taking you the glacier leaves on the dot, so make sure you arrive well before the allocated time slot. 100% recommended!

We are very glad we chose trollexpeditions and met Syra as our guide to the glacier hike and ice climbing!! We're a group of 4 and we are from Taiwan. We booked a private tour which include glacier hiking and ice climbing. The entire journey was pleasant, our guide Syra is so funny, very informative and also take good care of us. She took a lot of great photos for us. And she encourage my parents to try ice climbing when they were hesitating about going up. All of us made it in the end and left no regrets. There are so much unforgettable memories during this tour and made our stay in Iceland even more colorful!
