Family on the glacier

Excellent experience getting to climb on the glacier. Our guide Sarah was great. Very informative and helpful. My not so intrepid wife even enjoyed as did my 3 kids. Overall a very memorable part of our trip to Iceland.

A Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience

Hiking the glacier was an amazing experience, one I will never forget. Our guide was great & very, very patient. Props to her (sorry I can't remember her name). I would recommend this activity to my friends and family who like adventure, cold weather and physical exertion.

Daniel is the best! Amazing tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We had the best time! An absolute must do activity and it felt so special. The ice was so blue and the ash covered peaks were amazing to see. Daniel was an incredible guide, super informative and friendly and so caring. My partners crampons briefly broke but Daniel had all the gear to fix it immediately so it barely slowed us down. Another guest had some difficulty with her crampon and Daniel swapped with her no hesitation so she remained comfortable. He made sure everyone felt included and everyone had a chance to get the photos they wanted. Great sense of humour and answered all our questions. Really knowledgeable about the glacier and its history and we learned a lot. Couldn't recommend enough.

Excellent trip with a wonderful guide
