Our guide Javier was just amazing!!! He had so much knowledge and taught us a lot! This was the highlight of our trip and I am so excited that we had amazing weather too! It is definitely worth it to ride up close to the glacier instead of spending time hiking in. We were able to spend a lot of time actually on the glacier!

Great tour with Kate! She was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had wonderful weather and a group of four, which was perfect. Highly recommend this small group tour if you are wanting to get up close with a glacier!

I chose this tour for maximum time on the ice, and it exceeded my expectations in every way! Our guide Javi provided facts, history, and humor the entire 4+ hrs we were together. This was my first glacier hike, and I was in awe the whole time. From strapping on the crampons, to rappelling off a crevasse, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Great day out with Jose (our guide) at Melrakki Adventures. From start to finish he was really professional and made the whole experience very fun! I would 100% recommend doing this activity.
