5.00This experience was amazing! We chose this operator because it looked like the best value for the pricing and we were absolutely not disappointed. The guide, Stefán, was knowledgeable, had a fun sense of humor, and we appreciated his no-nonsense style. The trek was really fun and went at a sustainable pace and the ice cave portions were so much fun! Our guide actually took care to make sure we didn't feel crowded and were given the opportunity to really explore the caves by altering the order of the cave visits to avoid a huge tour group that had crammed into one of the caves. Loved it and will do it again when we return to Iceland. HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Amazing experience!

5.00I did the glacier walk + ice cave tour pack with my wife and a couple of friends in early November/2025 and it was simply amazing. Our guide Steinar was extremely helpfull, friendly and made sure to guarantee that everybody was feeling safe throughout the whole trip. Our group had a total of 8 people, so it was not too crowded and Steinar always tried to go to the caves when they were not too busy, ensuring that we could enjoy our time. I recommend a lot to do this experience with Glacier Trips! The caves are exactly like what we see in the pictures!

5.00The tour is 5-6 hours long but I say that this is meant for the slow walkers. It shouldn’t be challenging whatsoever. Maybe the weather helped a lot but it was worth to do cause when would you see the mulan (I don’t know the spelling :)) and the ice cave at the same time? Highly recommended! But I would make sure you wear warm!
Fabulous small group tour with amazing views!

5.00We enjoyed our tour with Stefan as he was incredibly knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Stefan was always mindful everyone’s safety and even timed our visits to the ice caves so as not to be crowded with other tour groups. He took photos for us and moved at a pace that worked for everyone. Amazing views and a memorable experience! Highly recommend.

5.00I had an incredible experience on the Ice Cave and Glacier excursion! Our guide, Stefan, was absolutely amazing knowledgeable, patient, and so passionate about what he does. He made the entire adventure both educational and fun, explaining the history of the glacier and how the ice caves form, all while making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable on the ice. The scenery was breathtaking, walking through the blue ice and seeing the layers up close was something I’ll never forget. Stefan also gave us plenty of time for photos and made sure we got the best views. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and having Stefan as your guide makes it even more special.
Very good experience

5.00Excellent experience. Our guide was Steinar, who explained very interesting things about the glacier and took us to beautiful places where we could appreciate different colorations of the ice.

5.00Moderate to difficult is a fair description.. it would be too much if you were not use to walking a long way, up an ice hill, with crampons. The cave was beautiful and worth the hike. Stephan was our guide and he was excellent, made us feel comfortable, was patient and helped us feel safe. He also had a ton information about the glacier as well. He was as big a part of the fun as the cave itself.
Best decision to go with this tour!

5.00This 8 mile glacier walk was incredible; expertly led by our guide, Steffan. There were only eight of us. When we got to some caves, we saw some huge groups and we’re so happy not to be a part of them. We ate our lunch and waited for them to be finished and had the cave all to ourselves. I knew we would see a huge blue ice cave, which was unreal but was surprised we got to go down about 20 feet into an ice moulin. The colors were bright blue and surreal. On the hike, I stepped into a crevice and fell. Stefan was prepared and took care of me. This was a moderately difficult hike and so rewarding. I did a lot of research and definitely made the right decision and choosing this company.
Unforgettable Ice Caves

5.00My wife and I had an amazing time exploring Ice Caves on Jokulsarlon Glacier with our guide, Laura. She was very knowledgeable about the the glacier as well as a wide range of other topics! She was very funny and made our trip very enjoyable. She spaced our group out so that we could have the Ice Caves to ourselves and helped us to take some amazing pictures with the blue ice behind us. Thank you for making our trip to Iceland unforgettable!
