• 5Glacier tour

  The glacier tour was an amazing experience! Przemysław was a fantastic guide – very dedicated, professional, and full of positive energy. You can really see that he loves his job and is truly passionate about sharing his knowledge. Thanks to him, we felt safe and could fully enjoy the entire experience. 😊

• 5Unbelievable trip

  We recently completed the Laugevagur trail with a small but amazing group. The scenery is unbelievable but what made the trip was the group, and in particular our guide Gunni who was excellent. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough

• 5Great hike and intro to ice climbing

  We thoroughly enjoyed our glacier hike and climb. Brook was our guide. He kept it fun, interesting, and safe. Before we needed to know something he would tell us what to expect and give instructions for what to do. The tour says glacier hike and climb. It is mostly a hike with a small introduction to ice climbing. We were fortunate to have a nice sunny day.

• 5One of the Highlights of Our Iceland Trip

  Ice climbing on a glacier had been on my bucket list for a very long time, and I finally got the chance to make that dream come true. The whole tour was a fantastic experience, and I definitely have to mention our guide, Przemyslaw @jezierek, who was absolutely great. He was energetic, positive, fun, and made the whole experience even better. He handled the group really well, gave us plenty of useful tips and guidance, and made us feel confident throughout the climb. For me, this was one of those truly memorable experiences I had been looking forward to for years, and I’m very happy I finally got to do it.

• 5Unforgettable ice climbing experience

  We had an amazing experience glacial hiking and ice climbing with our guide, Brook. Brook was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us good instructions on glacial hiking/ice climbing techniques. He chose a spot with a picturesque for the climb. Brook also gave us an extra chance to descend down the glacier with a rope. Despite this being my first time ice climbing, I felt comfortable and had a lot of fun. It was a beautiful view and was worth the money! I would highly recommend this.
