We had a great experience, start to finish. We loved our guide Thomas and would recommend this glacier tour to anyone visiting Iceland.
Cool experience to walk on the largest iceberg, however the Cave was a disappointment

Staff was amazing and the ice bergs were also very nice to see and walk on. As for the cave, Do NOT have high expectations because it’s not like in the photos. Apparently they are melting and once they are not accessible anymore (stop to exist) the tour company need to find new caves, therefore the cave you se in the picture is from April and DoES not exist anymore. The experience will always depend on timing, since the location keeps changing.
Once in a lifetime experience

The ice cave/tunnel and glacier walk were fantastic. Amazing views the entire way. Our guide, Lucy, was very patient and informative. She made us feel very safe. Our favorite thing we did in Iceland!
This tour is great!

Annie and Maija were amazing! They were very helpful and went very slow for all of our group to enjoy. They did great with showing us all of the different locations on the glacier. Very highly recommend this tour group.
Amazing experience!

We loved this tour, it was excellent! There were 12 in our group but when we got to the glacier the guides split us in to two groups of 6 which was better for getting around the glacier and into the ice cave. The glacier is absolutely beautiful, we had a great amount of time there, we went to the ice cave first, then hiked up the glacier for a couple of hours, the pace was nice. The guides were great, would highly recommend!
