5.00Brilliant experience, so glad we did it. Per, our guide was funny and knowledgable and read the group so well, to ensure everyone enjoyed it. Reasonable level of fitness / mobility needed, but nothing too strenuous. The three hours went so quickly!

The group was small and while there were others in the glacier we were alone and just able to enjoy the experience without it feeling touristy.
