We had a wonderful time on the water. Paz was very knowledgeable and got us very close to the icebergs in the lagoon. She made sure to snap some great family pictures for us.

My friends and I had a stunning hike with incredible views along the glacier. We learned so many interesting facts about the glacier thanks to Angelika, and had a really enjoyable morning together.

Great tour! There were only six of us on the tour (my husband and myself and two other couples). We lucked out with some great weather and had sunshine the entire time. Our guide, Sebastian, was superb. He was knowledgeable, funny, and helpful, and went out of his way to ensure we had plenty of opportunities for pictures. The location was easy to find and we appreciated the gear that was provided.
