It was a perfect glacier hike and our guide, Stefan, was wonderful! We hiked into two stunning ice crevices with amazing blue ice. For anyone in reasonable shape, this is the perfect tour. With crampons, we felt very confident. Highly recommend!

We had a terrific experience on our glacier hike with our guide Jay. After arriving at the very easy to locate meeting point, we received our crampons, helmet and ice axe from a very helpful staff. We hopped on the bus and headed up to the glacier. After about a 10 minute ride, we arrived at the base of the glacier and then had about a half mile hike into the glacier field. Once there, our guide Jay assisted us with putting on our crampons and then gave some really helpful pointers along with some important safety points. Once on the ice, the crampons really made the walk very simple and we felt very safe. The views were spectacular and Jay assisted us up the glacier to some wonderful viewpoints while always ensuring we were safe and comfortable. We even were able to create a bit of a water fountain on the glacier and try some amazingly fresh glacier water. I would highly recommend this experience if you will be in the Skaftafell area during your visit to Iceland.

This was a very cool excursion. Highly recommend wearing the right clothing (waterproof and warm) as we hiked in a steady downpour. We found the small group more favorable as we were able to do and see more. Very cool!

Had an amazing time during the hike and felt like it was worth it. We loved our tour guide Haustin!

The company itself was great and helped us change the timings right away due to an emergency. I would highly recommend them.

Our guide, Luis, was awesome! He explained many things about the glacier and let us take pictures. We had a rainy day so we understand that is out of control, but that’s why we don’t give it at 5 stars. And another reason is that we walked a lot to get to the glacier and it would had be nice if the bus taking us will get to the near parking instead of the one so far away so we have more time at the glacier.
