It is really exciting to hike on the glacier, knowing that the ice is thousands of years old. It is amazing how the different weather conditions shape the glacier.
Our tour guide Francesco waited for us in the morning to give us a good introduction to the rules how to behave and what to do in case of any unforeseen circumstances/situations.
He really took care of all the participants needs and kept the pace relatively to the average condition of the group. He explained a lot about the glacier on a few stops on it. Foto stops were also nicely considered and all in all we felt very save with him.
At this point many thanks to Francesco for that really unique experience on our last day before returning home.
Great but could be improved

We really enjoyed the Glacier Hike with Simon and are so glad we did the tour. There were some things that could be improved however. The getting ready period is very long - be prepared to stand in the cold for over an hour as part of this. It also wasn't really a 'small group' there were 16 of us in our group. It felt like we missed out on more time because of the size of the group. If you're keen to get a really in depth glacier experience I would definitely advise a private group - we think it would be worth the money to get more time for this incredible experience. Despite this, we still had a great time and would certainly recommend it regardless.

We booked quite late on to this glacier experience as a final thing to do for our holiday. As someone with no climbing experience and who is scared of heights, I was a bit hesitant. The trip started off slow, getting geared up and having safety briefs but the experience itself was incredible. The walk went a significant distance onto the glacier giving the most incredible views. The provided equipment and instructors meant we felt really safe and secure and able to fully enjoy the experience. The guide was fab giving us great details and really completing the experience. The best three hours! I wouldn’t recommend to everyone.
Great view from the top...

Great Experience for Ice part of Iceland

This was my first time on a glacier, and it was an unforgettable experience. The guide, Valero, was great and made sure that our group really maximized the time we had on the ice and gave careful instructions. He made sure we felt comfortable the whole time but also got to try new things. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who has never done a glacier walk before. This was definitley a highlight experience in our Iceland trip, and we were glad we got to do this now as all of the glaciers are losing mass.

Overall amazing experience, 100% recommended! We were able to experience the glacier to the fullest. Our guide Pablo (not exactly sure how to spell his name) was great and super patient, we felt he really enjoyed his job and had the best vibes. He explained and gave information that was very enlightening. I would do this tour again without a single doubt.

I have to thank Marco, who was a most excellent and helpful guide. I’d sprained my ankle my first day in Iceland, and five days later….didn’t want to miss out on this experience. He helped me EVERY STEP OF THE WAY (almost literally!). It was a bucket list item that we (my family and I) didn’t know was even on our list of coolest lifetime experiences.
