• 5Glacier hike

  We did the 3.5-hour glacier hike today and had a fantastic experience! Everything was very well organized. Our group was quite mixed in terms of experience and fitness levels, but our guide Tomasz handled it perfectly. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and created a great tour where everyone could enjoy the experience at their own pace. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this glacier hike to anyone visiting Iceland!

• 1Do NOT use Viator!!!!

  This experience would have been great, however Viator had the wrong information on their website and therefore caused us to miss our tour. The ticket we bought said 9:30 Al departure. We arrived at 9:10 only to be told that the tour left at 9:00 am and the 3rd party company (Viator) had displayed the wrong information. The tour guides were very helpful and informed us that they will be messaging Viator to help start a refund for us, however Viator has not replied and has not issued our refund despite multiple emails sent requesting one. We were unable to rebook this tour due to it being sold out. Incredible disappointing to not only miss the tour, but also not get refunded by this company. Would not recommend using Viator to anyone due to this terrible communication.

  Was a good experience on the glacier, guide was great, gave us a good overview and safety briefing. The hike to the glacier itself was too long, would have been nice to hike more on the glacier. But overall a good first time experience.

Skaftafell is a green oasis in south-east Iceland, set between black sand plains and the white ice of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest ice cap by volume.
