5.00We did the extended glacier tour and it was wonderful. Our guide was Guillaume. He was personable, funny, cared for our safety, and made the tour fun and interesting. He provided us with lots of information about the glacier. There is a lot of walking/hiking leading to the crampon gear-up spot so be prepared for that.

1.00We arrived to the center meeting point for information about this tour and we got tickets from Amaizing lady Anayancy. When we were ready for our tour the guide didnt accept us in this tour because we couldn’t speak propper english. We didnt know that lak of English will destroy our dream to get this tour. The lady on Desk kindly helped us to change the tour and we got another amaizing guide Lilianne and she was amaizing and we have an amaizing time with her when our barrer language wasnt a problem. Thank you lilianne for all your help and i feel sorry for the company that has guides that can Reyected you if you are not good English speaking. Thnkiu anayancy and lilianne

5.00Absolutely amazing experience. Jay adjusted the hike to meet the skill level of our group and made sure the conditions on the glacier were safe. He even brought the sunshine on what was to be a rainy and cloudy day. Highly recommend this tour group and the experience was epic!!!

5.00If you like doing long day hikes and reasonably fit enough to climb up and down mountains, this hike is for you. Our guide was Guemo. His character and energy made the hike a pleasure! He made sure we all understood how to use gears and follow all the safety guidelines.
Absolutely breathtaking!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience that I will remember fondly for a long time! Our guide was awesome, making sure we were safe, was very informative on what we were seeing and generally made sure we had a lot of fun. I was worried when I saw that our tour date fell on a very rainy day, but I am still very glad that we did it because experiencing the ice and seeing the view from up there was still breathtaking - I can only imagine how great this is on a sunny day, if I already enjoyed it this much in the rain! We went up higher on the glacier than expected and the higher we got, the more impressive it became. The admission fee is fair (also considering general Icelandic prices) and the group size felt fine. Definitely plan for the full five hours, maybe six for some extra buffer.

5.00Our guide (Gio?) was amazing. He was so enthusiastic and friendly and scouted out really cool areas to look out. There was no pressure to keep a certain pace and we stayed out longer than expected on the glacier. A once in a lifetime experience and exceeded my expectations. Ended up around a 7km hike with lots of undulations and some steeper ascents.
