A beautiful walk on the Falljökull glacier. Impressive view, sensations guaranteed! The guide explains the formation, life and history of glaciers. No technical difficulties, accessible to anyone who can walk in irregular terrain, with a small ascent at the start.

Great experience! Walking on the glacier is quite easy. Equipment (crampon, helmet, ...) is provided. Brook is an excellent guide! The visit was in English but he also speaks very good French. Brook also provided us with a lot of interesting information about glaciers! I recommend!

We got to climb into a mulan and walk through ice caves, both kids and adults loved it. It was really beautiful, and we liked that our group was small, we had our own guide as a family. We would recommend it!

Great experience but cut short due to the strong winds I had an absolutely amazing time, I wished we were able to climb higher but the guide had to cut the hike short due to stronger wind forecasts, and I appreciate that the guide had to look out for our safety Guide was very knowledgeable and showed how to use crampons, overall great experience, just wish the winds hadn't been as strong
