5An incredible experience
An experience not to be missed, walking on the glacier! The staff were very professional but relaxed providing and ensuring our equipment was suitable and comfortable. Felt completely safe and so glad we did this hike. Thoroughly recommend!
5Amazing!
Had a great time. So unique and got beautiful photos. Best to be in shape as you’ll get winded during some parts. But it’s doable! Def. a must do!!
5Good size
Did the 4 hour glacier hike as part of a group of ~12 ppl and had a truly amazing experience and we stays at top of the glacier until after sundown. Our tour guide was Agata whose passion for her job was infectious and created a great atmosphere amongst the group. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area - it was the highlight of my 10 day visit to the beautiful Iceland.
5Awesome experience
This was the first time I did glacier hike. I worried a bit about my body and the intensity. But it turned out alright. Ourr guide Mr. T was fabulous. He was energetic and knowledgeable about ice and the glacier. He taught us many things about the glacier and I can tell he loves his job. I would recommend yhis activity to all my friends traveliing in iceland.

5You Will Love This!
First, ask for Magnus! He was great! We were a small party of 4 and our 4 hour hike turned into a 5 hour hike we were having so much fun. It's beautiful, the climb is fun, and Magnus is a great guide. I would recommend our guide and this company to anyone. Don't miss this if you go to Iceland!
