• We wanted to do a glacier...

  We wanted to do a glacier walk and choose for merakki because they do small groups and they were very helpfull in the chat. We went up the glacier around 9.00 AM with a 4x4 and at the bottom of the glacier we started putting on the clampons. The hike was beautiful, we were there alone, enjoying the enormous ice sheets and beautiful caves and crevasses in the glacier. Our guide took the time to explane everything about the glacier we wanted to know and he was really patiënt. After a 2 hour hike we returned at the base.

  

  

  

• The Best Unofficial Glaciologist Around!

  Our tour began the morning after a bad storm of wind and rain all night. We arrived and found that my wife and I were the only two people going as the others had canceled from the bad weather with traveling. Our tour guide was Uri, and he was absolutely excellent. He gave us the rundown on the plan and was very efficient with getting all the gear sized and equipped. We drove in an old school Range Rover right to the base of the glacier, and we're the first ones to arrive. We got a very generous amount of time on the glacier by ourselves! And Uri was extremely happy to answer any and all of our questions about the glacier and the land formations around it. Though he told us he was not a glaciologist, he's definitely got an honorary title from us, because his knowledge and excitement to talk about it, and educate us had no bounds. He made sure to stop and give us tips on making it across some challenging stretches of terrain, keeping us confident and enjoying the beauty of Skaftafell. We were even lucky to get to climb through a small ice tunnel on our ascent, which he was more than happy to film for us! And before beginning our journey back down, we asked if there was a place to try that famous Icelandic Glacier Water. He took us to just the place and it was flawless, and quite refreshing. On top of knowledge about the glacier, Uri was overall an excellent conversationalist; and a very nice guy to get to know for the time we were there. We had the most amazing time, and I would recommend Uri to anyone hoping to see, and climb Skaftafell, we will never forget it!

  What an experience being on a glacier! The views were absolutely stunning and the photos turned out great. Really cannot be happier to have Woody as our guide for the 4.5hour glacier adventure. His experience and all the interesting sharings made the whole trip memorable. And we were lucky to be able to experience the adventure with just the 2 of us (+ woody). Solid guide, highly recommend Melrakki

  A superb welcome from Uri and Camille then we went in 4x4 until the start of the glacier. We were immensely fortunate to be in a select committee which allowed us to ask a lot of questions and make beautiful photos. Guides who shared their good humor, their professionalism which allowed us to learn a lot of things, to marvel at this landscape and all that, safely. Recommended:)

  The trip was really fun thanks to Jose. He was extremely patient with our group of 7. Some of us had some injuries and were terrified crossing the crevices but Jose was so patient helping us cross and taught us the right way to climb and descent the glacier. It was truly fun!

  José was a superstar guide, very patient, clear in his instructions, alert and empathetic. He had strategised our route so that we got used to the more challenging parts first. We also saw different beautiful parts of the glacier and admire the best views. We were a group of 7 and everyone was well looked after. Thank you José for getting me to walk behind him so that I was safe and had more confidence to complete the hike!

• Glacier walk accompanied by a very professional guide

  Incredible experience from José. Definitely the best of Iceland! Our guide was very professional, attentive and friendly. It is definitely worth booking this tour because you are taken in a prepared vehicle and left at the foot of the tongue of the glacier, when most groups did the tour on foot, so you enjoy more time of the experience. A small group is also appreciated. You get to ask a lot of things and feel safer with a professional watching you.

  Javier was a perfect guide, a small group where there was a lot of personal attention. The guide had a lot of knowledge with a fine amount of humor. In addition, we also felt safe at all times during the entire tour!
