Spectacular experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide Luci was exceptional. Very knowledgeable about the glacier. Sad that it was so warm in February that I was sweating (and I'm in pretty good shape so I was surprised). The views were amazing and it was a fantastic day.

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Ola. She made us feel comfortable and confident on the glacier and ensured we had ample time to take in the sights and had plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures.

Once in a lifetime experience

The ice cave/tunnel and glacier walk were fantastic. Amazing views the entire way. Our guide, Lucy, was very patient and informative. She made us feel very safe. Our favorite thing we did in Iceland!

This tour is great!

Annie and Maija were amazing! They were very helpful and went very slow for all of our group to enjoy. They did great with showing us all of the different locations on the glacier. Very highly recommend this tour group.
