What an beautiful experience it was! We also had an awesome guide. She was a lovely lady with green hair. She was very helpful and had a nice sense of humor. She was patient and let the whole group take nice pictures while she took care of light. I definitely recommend Glacier Adventure

Totally pro company both in how they treat their equipment, staff and customers

Iceland Glacier Adventures is a totally pro company both in how they treat their equipment, staff and customers. The Glacier Walk tour out of Hali was the perfect level of difficulty and excitement for our intermediate hikers, and the guide was lively and knowledgeable. Company takes time to adjust the equipment( helmets, harnesses, clip-on crampons) and instruct each person in a time-efficient manner. **Because the Glacier is constantly melting/changing, no novice should explore them without a Pro guide-company; period! Plus knowledgeable guides really reduced worry and made the experience more fun.

Great excursion

We really enjoyed this trip. Mike was very helpful, especially to one of our group who needed a little more help. We felt safe and took a lot of pictures
